Customer Corner: Ukrainian Easter Eggs and Soy Candles

a sample of an Ukranian Easter Egg from www.itsessential.ca

A customer from Ohio was in Isle of Candles recently and told me about these incredible Ukrainian Easter Eggs she makes. Thankfully, she sent us photos and a “how-to” sheet so we could better understand all the effort that goes into making these beautiful pieces.

Ukrainian Easter Eggs are quite colorful and brimming with intricate designs. The designs are created by drawing wax lines right onto the eggs, which act as color barriers when the eggs are dyed.

This customer was anxious to try melted soy candles on the eggs, because hours and hours of being bent over melted paraffin wax to create the designs was taking its toll. Paraffin wax is full of toxins and this lady was breathing them in every time she worked on an Ukrainian Easter Egg.

She is going to try using melted soy oil instead of melted paraffin wax in designing the Ukrainian Easter Eggs, thereby giving her cleaner air to breathe.

…Just one more way soy candles from Isle of Candles are being used.

Isle of Candles attended the Canadian-American Days Kickoff Celebration Expo at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center yesterday and introduced soy lotion candles to our friends from the north.

The most popular fragrance by far was Pawleys Island. They said that the suntan lotion fragrance reminded them of the beach.

Lookout Canada, the Isle of Candles phenomena is on its way!

Soy Lotion Ball Relieved Appearance of Scar

A lady came into our retail store the other day to buy a soy lotion ball…for her doctor. This lady had surgery on her chin recently. She regularly used the Isle of Candles soy lotion ball directly on this scar and she told us that her doctor was amazed at how it reduced the scar’s appearance.

About the size of a tennis ball, our soy lotion balls are made from the same soy as our soy lotion candles. They are available online for $7.50 at www.isleofcandles.com.

Isle of Candles makes these soy lotion balls on-site in the candle factory.
