One of the hot new “Green” marketing campaigns is that of BP Candles. No, these are not British Petroleum Candles (as in the BP gas stations). BP Candles are made by a company called Beanpod Candles. The BP in BP Candles stands for Bean Pod as in Soy Bean.

The recent BP Candles ad blitz urging you to “Go Green with Beanpod” has generated quite response as more and more people try to adjust every aspect of their lives to be more environmentally conscious, including the types of candles they use. It turns out BP Candles are 100% Soy Wax, and as we’ve mentioned in many previous posts here, candles made with soy wax are far better for the environment than the more common petroleum paraffin based candles.

BP Candles makes a great product. At BP Candles they have a huge variety of colors, fragrances, sizes, and shapes. If you’re looking for a nice Richly Scented Candle that is also environmentally friendly, there’s a good chance BP Candles makes a richly scented candle that you’ll be happy with.

But BP Candles is not the only game in town, and they’re certainly not the first when it comes to 100% Soy Candles. There are numerous richly scented candle makers who use 100% soy wax and sell their richly scented candle products conveniently via the internet. Whereas most BP Candles are sold through individual retail stores. Do yourself a favor and shop around at several of the websites where you can buy scented soy candles. You’ll find some great prices and a tremendous variety of richly scented candles that are pure soy and just as “green” as BP Candles.

While you’re at it, take a look at our post on Coffee Mug Soy Candles and the benefits of a Richly Scented Candle. Thanks!
