What is soy wax and why do you use it?
Because it's awesome...
No, but really, the wax we use is made with 100% natural, USA grown soy beans. It burns cleaner and longer than alternative waxes like paraffin. 

Why did my candle discolor or turn yellow?
In an effort to keep our products as pure and natural as possible we do not add any UV stabilizers or other additives to our candles. As a result over time soy wax may discolor or fade. Therefore, we recommend that you keep H&H candles away from direct sunlight or strong fluorescent lighting to avoid discoloration.
