Our awesome team, who work with such commitment to bringing you the best possible quality, hand-crafted soy candles and products. As a by-product of soybean agriculture, the article noted, pure soy wax is completely natural without any synthetic additives or petroleum materials such as paraffin wax. My father began extensive research into the new and emerging soy candle industry in the USA (where soy wax was invented in the early 90's), with an interest in adding soy candles to his already extensive range of candles. Rob and Ann visited many sites around the country searching for a soybean oil supplier with integrity that produced the perfect soybean oil of the highest quality. They sampled every type and grade of soy wax they could get their hands on. Through months of testing and experimentation in their factory, they discovered a significant discrepancy in the qualities of the many samples of soybean oil collected. Rob and Ann eventually found a supplier that met their requirements. Rob and Ann continued to search for and to test the best samples they found with various wicks and containers, until they were finally satisfied that they had created the highest quality product that burned beautifully and optimally. What happened next was that their company boomed amid the launch of their soy candles and their factory could barely keep up with demand! During the research phase, Rob formed an experimental collaboration with his soy supplier. Given the naturally high content of Vitamin E and Lecithin in soybean oil, the intention of this collaboration was to formulate a pure and clean soy oil wax that was able to be applied to a person’s skin without being excessively oily. It took years before any other soy candle manufactures tried to emulate this concept, none with any significant success. In my father’s office lay a file full of letters and responses from satisfied customers explaining how their soy candles have helped them treat all kinds of skin ailments by applying the warm, melted soy oil onto affected areas. Our growth strategy includes expanding and diversifying our range, and expanding into the export market. In addition to our soy candle range, we manufacture body and massage soy balms, and are now packaging various raw materials that we deem in line with our vision and value of working with high quality, natural products and ingredients. We enjoy innovating, even if sometimes just in small ways. Some of these include include African Botanical oil blends, Hydrosols, and soy wax crayons (another first in SA). We are very pleased with our growth into the export market and currently have distributors in the UK, Scandinavia, Peru, Nigeria and Asia. We access the best quality raw soy materials and the latest information and developments in the natural candle industry. All our packaging materials, glass and metal containers, essential oils and other related extras are locally sourced where possible. SoyLites intends to continue producing and consistently delivering the best quality, locally influenced natural soy candles and products for many years to come.
