Dear Lover of a Green Home:

As I recently reported on CBS News (see Green Home on CBS News at http://www.greenhome.com/about/video/ ) one of the biggest unreported dangers to human and animal health inside the home is the smoke from paraffin candles. Paraffin wax is made from petroleum and produces carcinogens and soot when burned. If you burn multiple candles in your home, the soot from these paraffin candles contains many of the same toxins produced by burning diesel fuel. Don't be fooled by candles marketing themselves as "healthy" or for "aromatherapy" if they are made of paraffin - be safe with soy or beeswax.

For Valentine's Day, Green Home is offering a special 20% off all Certified Organic soy wax candles. Soy candles last 50% longer than candles made of petroleum-based paraffin. Not only do they burn slower, they also burn cooler (helping to better distribute fragrance), are non-toxic, less likely to trigger allergies, clean up with soap and water, and produce very little soot. Made from American-grown organic soybeans, soy candles are biodegradable, are a renewable resource, and using them supports local living economies (vs. oil companies).

Soy Wax Tins - 3 for $16

Certified Organic Soy Wax Candle in a four ounce travel tin. Soy Wax's lower flame temperature helps preserve the delicate essential oils, making it the ideal vehicle for aromatherapy oils.

Soy Wax Ripple Glass - 3 for $15

Unique handblown ripple flare glass with Certified Organic Wax scented with the purest, most expensive essential oils. Available in the same eight scents as the tins above. The small measures approximately 3" in diameter and 2-1/2" tall.
