American made soy candles are pretty easy to come by, but Vance Family Soy Candles have always been a USA Love List favorite. The scents rejuvenate because they're made with essential oils. These candles never smell fake and they burn cleaner because they are made with soybean wax. Unlike most mass-market candles, Vance Family Soy Candles uses non-GMO, biodegradable soy wax to make all of its candles. That means that they are plant based, sustainable, synthetic free candles, made with organic essential oils – no dyes, no petroleum products, and no phthalates. They burn with low smoke, from cotton or paper wicks, packaged in heavy recycled glass. All of the packaging and products used in these candles are American-made and they donate at least 10% of profits to charity. By the way, they smell like a dream.
Lucky for you, we're bringing you another chance to win a collection of your own. $245 worth of them, to be exact. The prize pays homage to the company's roots.

I think it is really neat that you can have your company, or a wedding idea, can have candles made just for your party/event. This would be really fun. A Non-GMO candle given away at a wedding would be such a fun reminder of a great day, every time the candle was used.
I would love to win this, because the more and more I went to their site the more and more I love this company. The products are amazing, and I love that they go the extra mile to ensure their products are more healthy and have better ingredients. It all makes me very happy 🙂
I have a lot of allergy’s, so I have to be careful when it comes to scented things. I hope soy would be ok, but my nieces burn candles all the time. They would love it if I’d win!
Why would I like to win? Who doesn’t like to win!! I could divide them up and give them as stocking stuffer’s at Christmas.
I enjoy using candles because I love having a pleasant scent in the air. I also use them to cover unwanted odors.
I’d love to win because I am very much interested in candles. I love that these are USA made and that pure ingredients are used!
I love scented candles. If they are soy or with natural ingredients the most important things to me are scent and long burning.
Yes we love candles I prefer soy over wax for sure. I thiink they burn better and more cleanly. I also think the scent is better than wax.
I would love to win becausse soy is natural and burns cleaner and is also much safer than wax candles. I prefer soy over wax
I think the scents sound so nice. I am really excited to try the Peppermint Farm. It just sounds perfect!
I would like to win because I want to show people how awesome USA made products are. I cannot believe (well actually I can) that the FDA considers synthetic fragrances to be toxic. But yet, they remain in candles, burned in homes for people to breath for hours on end. Yuck. I am so happy that Vance Family exists and provides people with essential oil scented candles.
I would love to try them out! They’re made in the USA, they’re soy, and they look great!
I’d like to win, because they are natural candles. It is so hard to find made in USA anything. I so support this. If we only bought USA, and the manufacturing was done in the USA, a lot more people would have jobs…in the USA. Hey, I love my country and it’s people.
I love candles. I love the scent and how inviting it makes your home. I love hoow a nice candle can make you think of fall or of whatever scent it has.
I would love to win so my house smells nice and inviting. I do cat rescue and its nice to have candles sometimes!
I think it is so cool that the Vance Family company makes candles for the Olympic National Park. I have been to many of those parks and they are amazing! I bet the scent of these candles are amazing too! I would love to find out 🙂
Well, it has happened…it is unofficially fall. I can tell. I live in a cold region and the leaves are already starting to change. Tonight it is going to be in the 40’s! So, I would love to win so that I can have the warmth and scent of a nice candle flickering on my mantle.
We simply love candles and having natural candles are even better. We always try to find ways to protect the environment and this is a great addition.
Yes we love candlse and I prefer soy over wax for sure. I thiink they burn better and more cleanly.
I would love to wn so out house smells nice I especially like the natural sounding fragrances.
I can’t believe the candles have such a long burn time. One stated it went for 75 hours. That is awesome!!!
I want to win because I love that I can just wash out the candle jar and use for a cool drinking glass. That is really neat.
i’m a huge fan of scented candles! i don’t usually give them as gifts as most people on my side of the family are either allergic or bothered by scents (which is why i couldn’t burn candles until after i got married and moved out!). i do like when i can find affordable soy candles but i don’t mind burning any and all types of candles 🙂
I have animals, so candles keep thibgs smelling fresh and not all ‘catty; or ‘doggy’ thats nice.
I would love to win becausse soy is natural and burns cleaner and is also so much safer than wax candles.
I would love to win because I would love the opportunity to show all of my friends and family that Non-GMO candles exist and can be used with less concern for what GM ingredients will do long term.
I want to win because I want to try some of these amazing scents. The Keep Portland Weird, sounds like such fun. I also love that proceeds go to the Oregon Music Hall of Fame.
I prefer soy candles because they burn cleaner and are better for the environment. I like jar candles, but not the black soot that builds up on the jars. Soy candles don’t make soot 🙂
I’d love to win this collection of candles because it would make me so happy to place them around our home to add fragrance and mood lighting.
I love that they will private label. So cool for events and such.
Great gifts for my friends!
I adore scented candles and use them a lot during the fall and winter to make my home seem cozier.
I’m originally from California, and get homesick from time time- I hope some of these scents take me back! They all sound like scents I’d love.
s I am a HUGE fan of scented candles they work much better to control, odors than spray scents.
I would love to win becausse soy is natural andit burns cleaner and is also much safer than wax candles.
I just found the Organic Holiday Mixers and the Nutty Irishman Coffee was made for me! Love it!
I want to win because this company is awesome. I love all the time and thought that went into their products. Not only do they use Non-GMO ingredients (THANK YOU) but they also use recycled glass containers that are made in the USA. How cool is that!
I adore soy candlles.. they burn sloower and more evenly and are from a renewable resource.
I would love to win bbecause there is nothing better than the welcoming smell of a candle burning,
Like I just mentioned I was at Walmart, and was looking through the candles. I also smelled the candles to see if I could find something that I would like. NO. Now that I am aware that Vance Family candles are made with essential oils, I am not sure I will ever be able to settle for the chemical scents.
I went to Walmart today and was in the candle section. I looked through each and every candle, and not one of them was made with SOY, let alone GMO free Soy. I would love to win this to have great candles for my family.
Scented candles are all throughout my house – these seem great because the smell isn’t too overpowering – a bonus!
I’m trying to avoid all toxic chemicals in my home, so these candles would be great!
I use candles in the kitchen almost every night
I would love these for myself and for gifts!
I adore scented candles. They make my house smell welcoming, esp. with a dog and 4 boys in the house.
I love that they make most of their products in the USA, and are GMO free. I love to support small businesses.
Oh, I am thinking that Hiking Trail would be amazing. I love the wood scents, and I lived in the Seattle area for years, so this scent is close to my heart 🙂
I would love to win these candles because I would be so proud to have good Non-GMO candles that are not full of toxic chemicals. I would put them on my mantle and would be so excited to show them off. I have study meetings at my house and I love having the house smell nice, so these would be perfect. I would be the envy of the group 🙂
I love all of the different scents that they have.
Why YES yes yes I use scented candles, I’m a huge huge fan of them. I love the idea of natural soy wax. I am a tree hugger too and natural is always the better way to go.
Why would I love to win? I burn a lot of candles for the scent and ambience in winter. It is so lovely to get a nice scent going. Welcoming and soothing. These candles seem VERY nice. “Can throw any leftover wax into your compost pile!” That sounds good to me. Not that there will be any leftover!
I do buy cheaper candles with different ingredients, though I prefer soy and essential oils.
I would love to win these candles because I love candles and soy candles really do burn so much cleaner.
I like to use candles in my home because they create a warm and welcoming feel. I also like to give candles as gifts for birthdays and Christmas.

I love all natural candles and soy candles especially because of how cleanly they burn! I use scented candles all the time to help my home smell nice, and I absolutely think candles make great, thoughtful gifts.
I have a mantle that is just begging to have some beautiful candles on it. It would make my house look fabulous, and smell fabulous too.
I would love to win this because they use wicks that are low-smoke cotton, instead of nasty wicks. I was just reading about how horrible some of the other wick options are. Even so bad that some contain lead, and can lead to major health issues, even with a short duration of exposure. Yuck
I would like to win because these scents sound amazing! I love soy candles and these look rustic and very cool. Thanks for the chance!
I am a big fan of scented candles but my husband is a bigger fan than I am. He loves your candles. I have a standing tradition with my brother-in-law, every Christmas I get him a new and different candle. He loves them too. We always have candles burning in the house year round. I love them Christmas scents during the holidays.
My whole family loves candles and I want to share with them
So many choices! I love jar and tin candles, because they have that cute country look
I would like these to use as gifts for Christmas!
I have a friend that is allergic to a lot of scents and general candles. I would love these because I would bet that he would be able to use these, since they are not made with synthetic crap. He really misses being able to burn candles and not have his asthma kick up.
I would love to win because the more I look at their site the more amazing products. I am currently loving the Hand Blown Glass Lanterns. GORGEOUS. These are true works of art, but also have a great function. Amazing.

I’d love to win these because i’m a huge fan of candles and burn them all the time….and i know that a lot of the ones i burn probably are filled with some not so great ingredients…but i ignore that because i like them so much. i love that the vance candles company does everything they can to make sure there are no toxins being released when you burn their candles! i could really feel awesome about using these 🙂
They have so many variations — jars, tins — something for everyone!
