Pure Integrity Soy Candles Review and Giveaway

Posted in Reviews

Pure Integrity

The sweet smell of cinnamon fills the downstairs, but I’m not baking – at least, not this time.  It’s a cinnamon scented candle from Pure Integrity Soy Candles.  I love the realistic smell of the candle, and it doesn’t give me a headache.  The Pure Integrity candles are made from soy wax which means that they burn without harmful petro soot.  The unique 100% cotton wick set up allows for even, long burning candles with no tunneling through the wax.  Yep, that means that the double wick actually allows the wax to puddle all the way to the edge of the jar.  There is no black smoke as long as you keep the wicks trimmed short.  (Love that!)

Pure Integrity candles have powerful fragrances, so they actually fill the room with scent.  On their website, they give fragrance ratings for their candles, so you know exactly what you’re getting when you purchase one (or more) of the 70 candle scents.  I chose the cinnamon scent as we need to stay away from floral type scents.  We received a beautiful frosted glass 16 oz. jar.  The frosted glass really gives the candle that extra touch of beauty.

Soft Glow

I was very impressed with the pure scent of the candle and how beautifully it burned.  I’m thrilled that I can have a healthier burning candle around the house as I love the relaxing, soft glow of a candle in the evening.

Would you like to win a Pure Integrity Holiday Fragrance Combo Set, which includes their 3 10 oz top selling holiday fragrances; Vanilla Almond, Pumpkin Pie and Sugared Spruce (a $44.97+ value)? One US reader will receive the holiday fragrance combo set to help warm up their home and make their home just a little more relaxing. Click below to enter via Rafflecopter.

  1. Heather,
    That cinnamon scent sounds so nice. I love candles and at Christmas time… they’re even better!! Especially when the night comes so early.

    Love relaxing in the tub surrounded by candles.

    Merry Christmas blogging friend!

  3. I took a walk the other day. It was cold, but so relaxing! It also relaxes me and brings me joy to reread the Christmas cards I have hanging on the wall.

    This looks like a wonderful candle. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!

  5. I love candles and would love to win this. I’ve heard so much about soy candles, but I don’t have any. Candles make the house so cozy, especially on a dreary winter day. Some candles and a good book are a great way to relax. I have fun reading aloud to my girls or listening to audio books together.

    • I understand the headaches, but didn’t suffer any with these. They even have unscented if you want the beautiful, warm glow of the candle without the scent.

  7. I LOVE candles. We have 11 in our small living room. Yep, 11. In the evening, before my husband gets home, I straighten up the kitchen and living room and then light all the candles to make it look sweeter. It makes for a lovely sanctuary after a busy/stressful day.

    • Wow! 11 candles! That’s a really sweet routine. I’m sure that your hubby appreciates the effort.

  13. Relaxing? What’s that? Lol! I like to curl up with a book, AFTER making sure that all the kiddos are quietly and safely occupied. Otherwise I’m liable to get an unpleasant surprise.

  14. One of the most important ways we stay relaxed during the holidays is making sure we spend time together doing nothing but talking, laughing, playing games, etc. Christmas has become so stressful when it was meant to be so personal.
