SOI Candles are hand-poured using 100 percent FDA-approved kosher soy oil. Available in a variety of sizes, SOI candles burn about 140 hours (about 40 percent longer than wax candles), are soot-free and do not emit any harmful toxins, like Benzene, into your home. Unlike wax, soy oil burns coolly at 106 degrees Fahrenheit, into a reflective pool of soy that always remains warm to the touch without burning hands.  

Because SOI Candles are created from natural soy, the melt pool can also be used as a skin moisturizer that can be massaged into any dry or irritated areas. It can also be applied as a soothing remedy to sunburned skin, eczema, psoriasis and poison oak.  

Sharp employees get an extra 5 percent discount off the sale price. Cash, check or credit/debit cards are accepted.
