The Lady Chandler is an artisan candle business specializing in products that are paraben and phthalate free . Candle research started when our young grandson began showing respiratory symptoms whenever candles were being burned in the home. Many hours and much testing later we sold our first candle. Soy is our wax of choice. It is a renewable resource, produces less soot which reduces the risk to allergens and is long lasting. It was important for us to make a great smelling, long lasting candle without compromising our commitment to using products that are free of added chemicals
