NEW Size & Packaging.

A perfect camping companion thanks to its sealable tin and long burn.
WHAT'S GOOD?
WHAT DOES IT REPLACE?
All other citronella candles, especially those made with paraffin, a petroleum product. Most soy candles are mixed with paraffin, not this one. In the US, in order for the label to read Soy Candle, it only has to be 51% Soy. Same goes for Beeswax, be sure the label reads 100% pure beeswax.
BORING (BUT USEFUL) STUFF
Recommended for outdoor use.
