New Studio Space!!!

We have been hard at work getting our new studio space up and running. In true Sourced & Salvaged fashion we have given pieces a second like like an old work bench with a fresh coat of paint or our reclaimed wood shelving. Our new space is located at 7 Fraser Street in a great old industrial building. The studio is not open to the public. It is a place for us to make a develop new products. We might offer pick up orders at our door in the future.

WHY CHOOSE SOY?

• SOY WAX IS A FAVORITE OF ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS NOT MADE FROM PETROLEUM, LIKE PARAFFIN CANDLES. BURNING OF SOY CANDLES DOES NOT INCREASE THE CO2 LEVEL IN THE ATMOSPHERE.
  THEY CAN LAST UP TO 50% LONGER THAN PARAFFIN CANDLES.

• SOOT SHOULD BE AVOIDED BECAUSE IT IS VERY UNHEALTHY AND CAN EVENTUALLY COAT FURNITURE AND WALLS. SOY CANDLES PRODUCE ABOUT 90% LESS SOOT THAT PARAFFIN CANDLES.

• THE INCORPORATION OF SOYBEAN OIL LOWERS THE MELTING POINT OF THE CANDLES, WHICH TRANSLATES INTO COOLER BURNING CANDLES AND FASTER SCENT DISPERSION. THE LOWER MELTING POINT OF SOY WAX RESULTS IN A LARGER SIZE OF THE LIQUID WAX POOL AROUND THE CANDLE WICK. IT IS FROM THIS LIQUID WAX POOL THAT THE ESSENTIAL OILS EVAPORATE INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.
