According to Tiffany, “I began making candles when I started developing allergies. Most candles in the candles on the market were hurting my sinuses and giving me headaches. I had already burned a soy candle before, and being a vegan for many years, it seemed natural to make a soy candle. My goal in creating a soy candle was to make a candle that burned cleaner, had a great scent throw & still looked good. I wanted to make a candle that didn’t bother my allergies, hurt my head, or turn my walls black. It took about three years of testing to develop a blend of natural wax that I thought looked good and made a nice, clean burning, fragrant candle. Our wax is 100% natural and contains NO paraffin.”

“Still on my soy kick, I thought it would be a great idea to come out with a bath and body line that used soy as well. All of our bath & body products contain at least 96% natural ingredients. My products are designed to help alleviate extremely dry, damaged, aging skin.”

“After only a few months of living in the desert I developed extremely dry skin. I know how painful and unattractive dry skin can look and feel so I wanted to help others like me. I like to use soy in my bath & body products because of its wonderful moisturizing abilities. It hydrates and protects the skin and contains natural antioxidant properties.”

“So far this has been an incredible year for me. I’ve had a lot of unexpected opportunities, starting in February with an invitation to participate in the swag bags for the Cannes Film Festival. This was followed by invitations to participate in the Asian Excellence Awards and the Reebok Heroes Celebrity Baseball Game. In May, I was invited to take part in the California Gift Show. This is my first trade show and I am very excited about it. The show will take place July 20 – 23.”

Lots of exciting things going on for TikoSoy & once you try their products, you’ll see what the buzz is all about. We tried a few things & loved all of them. First of all, if your skin is feeling a bit parched, you’ll love the Body Butter. It’s amazingly silky & sinks right into your skin. I tried the Blackberry Juniper & it’s a fab scent. Berries & forest mixed together created an unsurpassed combo. This product contains shea & cocoa butters along with Vitamins C & E & Japanese Green Tea.

Next, I tried the wonderful hand cream & found this thick & moisturizing. Vanilla Chocolate is the one that I have & this is another fantastic sniff. Love love love it! The cream lasts on your skin forever & contains jojoba oil & aloe.

Scrubs are my thing & TikoSoy’s was not a disappointment. I tried the coffee scrub with sugar & it left my skin soft & smooth. The scrubs contain macadamia oil & sweet almond oil. This is a wonderful scrub!

Finally, I used one of TikoSoy’s soy candles (remember…the candles started this business). Mine is called Southern Summer & this was a major hit. Burns clean, smells awesome…what more can you want from a candle? Note: TikoSoy is in the process of changing some of their candle jars & you can get some of their candles for nearly a 50 percent discount!
