All Natural Soy Candles and Soy Melts Handmade by CT River Candles in Haddam, Connecticut

CT River Candles was inspired by the beauty of the Connecticut River and a personal love of creating handmade products. All of our soy candles are hand poured with 100% natural soy wax and scented with the finest fragrance oils. Soy's greatest advantage is that it is all natural and completely renewable unlike paraffin. Soy burns cleanly and nearly soot free. We use only the finest fragrance oils to achieve a highly scented soy candle. Currently we have twenty-four (24) fragrances but will offer additional seasonal scents as well as specialty scents from time to time. Our soy candles are colored with dyes to complement their associated scent but they can also be requested without dye in the natural creamy white soy color. This would not change the scent or affect the burn.

All candles are offered in a 16 oz size glass mason jar with a tin black stylish lid. Each container features a photograph taken on the Connecticut River. You'll notice as you browse through the website that the photos are named for their candle counterparts. For example, "Misty Morning" is a delicious Banana Nut Bread Scent. I think you'll find that these photographs capture the essence of this truly amazing natural resource and also give our candles that unique edge when you're looking for a special gift for yourself or someone else.

In addition to our Soy Candle line, we offer highly scented Soy Melts. The soy melts are handmade wtih 100% natural soy wax. There are six cubes per package and each cube provides over 10 hours of scent!! Just break them apart and place one or two in a tealight or electric tart burner and enjoy hours of wonderful fragrance. Have fun mixing different scents to create your own unique scent combinations. These are also great to use in office or other areas where candles are not permitted. When the scent has burned off, let the wax harden, remove and discard. Store unused tarts in the snapclose package

We also offer a soy wax dipped plush Labrador Retriever aptly named the "CT River Dog". The inspiration for this product was my own Yellow Lab, Dakota. Not only does he do the title justice by his geneology but also by his continued attempts to escape the confines of the house and conquer the river by swimming as long as we can't catch him......If you're not familiar with dipped plush animals, they make wonderful air fresheners for areas in your home that you would like to provide scent without flame, such as in a child's room. Please refer to the CT River Dog link for scent descriptions and care.
