Order Bright Sun Candles

Welcome to Bright Sun Candles.  We create soy candles of excellent quality and ingredients, that are also naturally beautiful and environmentally friendly.
 
Bright Sun Candles are hand-poured in Saint 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 candles, our candles are clean & long-burning and made from a natural wax that is a sustainable resource.
 
We invite you to experience the natural beauty of Bright Sun Candles.

Sincerely,

Megan & Adam Tetz
