An Irish brand is making soy candles that are much better for you than traditional ones

These would make great affordable Christmas presents.

The demand for natural products is at an all-time high. The natural beauty market has really exploded in recent years. With an increasing number of people becoming aware of harsh chemicals that can be present in traditional makeup, folks are deciding to make the switch to natural products. An in the domestic sphere, a lot of homes are opting for natural cleaning products. Very excitingly, we've now spotted a range of natural candles that are much better for you than traditional paraffin ones. Emma's So Naturals Candles were created by Emma Fallon who couldn't find a home fragrance that wouldn't expose her family to harsh chemicals so she set about creating her own range. Emma’s So Naturals range of Eco-Soy Candles do not contain any parabens, paraffin, palm oil, artificial dyes or synthetic fragrances. Soya wax also burns for longer and Emma's candles are also cruelty-free, vegan and free of palm oil. Her entrepreneurial spirit is very admirable as Emma previously chatted to Her saying:

"In 2010, when I was already making candles and giving them as gifts, my husband was made redundant. With three kids it was simply a case of having to find some way to generate an income, so I risked taking my hobby to the next level. They completely sold out so I knew I was actually on to something good!"

And her candles come in a variety of beautiful scents from Masala Chai to Spiced Orange and Mint Crisp - there's something for everyone. You can check out the full range of products on her online shop. We'll just be hoping it's only the candles we'll be burning on Christmas Day and not the turkey!
