SOJA&CO. was founded in the beautiful city of Montreal, Quebec. Our current warehouse is located in Longueuil, on Montreal's south shore.

yes, all SOJA&CO. products are vegan and cruelty-free.
our candles are made of 100% natural soy wax, which emits 90% less soot when burned and does not increase the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. furthermore, our cotton wicks are lead-free and our plant-based, vegan fragrances are free of toxins such as phthalates. we therefore avoid as much as possible the release in the air of respiratory system irritants that could be dangerous for you, your fetus or your animals. moreover, our fragrances do not contain essential oils (which are less recommended for pregnant women) except for the following candles:
- Coconut + Wasabi
- Elemi, Bergamot & Saffron
- Mango + Paprika
- Citronella + Geranium
to reduce the risk even further, we recommend you try our reed diffusers. they give off the same fragrances as our candles, but without releasing any fine particles into the air.
cotton wicks, which are actually cotton filaments braided together, are commonly used for candles because they work well with different types of wax. they require little maintenance, create a higher vertical flame, and those used by SOJA&CO. do not contain lead (sometimes present in order to create a better projection). cotton wicks should be trimmed 1/4 inch from wax surface before each use. more details here
the level of scent diffusion coming from candles is directly related to the amount of wax in the container. it is therefore quite normal that the 2oz size disperses much less than the larger sizes. we recommend using the 2oz as a test candle to determine if a fragrance appeals to you, then purchasing a larger size to fully enjoy the fragrance. another option would be to place the 2oz candle in a smaller room (like a bathroom), which amplifies the scent given the limited space.
