Welcome to Bright Sun Candles.  We create candles of excellent quality and ingredients, that are also naturally-beautiful and environmentally friendly.
 
Bright Sun Candles are hand-poured in St. Paul, Minnesota from the wax of American-grown soybeans.  Our candles are scented with only essential oils.  We use no artificial scents and no dyes or artificial colors.  Like all soy wax candles, our candles are clean & long-burning and made from a natural wax that is a renewable resource.
 
We invite you to experience the natural beauty of Bright Sun Candles.

 Sincerely,
 

Megan & Adam Tetz

Green Home Living Tip:

At Bright Sun Candles, we recycle as much as we can. We know that our customers value recycling too. Here are a few unique ways to recycle beyond your curbside bin to reycle wine corks and everyday food packaging.
 

Wine Corks
 
Wine corks are a renewable resource that are often thrown away after use. Several companies will take your used wine corks and re-purpose them into cork tile, soles for shoes, bulletin boards, etc.  Check out the following links on where to mail your corks so they can be put to good re-use.
