Is Yankee Candle quietly moving to soy?

We recently came across a new candle line by Yankee Candle that appears to be a soy paraffin blend. if this is true, we’re not sure how this is going to affect the cottage soy candle industry, it may be a double edged sward.

On one hand it could harm many of us to some extent, however, if they begin to show the advantages of soy it could help us.

This candle line appears to be a “designer” line aimed at those looking for something a little more contemporary. The price seems a bit high on these candles, but it may be artificially inflated to make them appear to be a “premium designer” candle.

We will look into this more and see what we can find.

It's true

For those of you who may not be aware. Yankee Candle is selling a soy/paraffin blend candle.

They are not really pushing the fact that it is part soy, and the store by us has them off in a corner, so I am still not exactly sure how this may or may not effect our businesses.

As I find out more I will let you all know.

Sorry

We apologize, but all of our various attempts to get information from Yankee Candle have gone unanswered.

However, we will continue to poke and prod, eventually someone will know something and be willing to talk, it will just be a matter of time.

We will keep you posted
