2024: Illinois Field and Bean listed us among their "Sustainably Soy All-Stars" for being certified through the "It's Sustainably Soy" Certification Program, recognizing producers and users of soy-based products. "Cottage Goods is an Oklahoma-based company that began making soy candles in 2000 to reduce soot and toxins in the founder's home. To offer their candles at the local farmers market, Cottage Goods formed the Soy Candle Cottage in 2005. Further research into soy uses for body products led them to introduce handcrafted natural deodorants, natural soy lotions, and creams, as well as natural Beard Balm and Shaving Soap for men.
Cottage Goods has two Sustainably Certified products:
- Hand-poured soy candles and melts (to use in warmers)
- Natural lotions

2020: Redfin contacted us (along with other candle-makers) for content included in their article about how apartment dwellers can make their space more welcoming.
Our contribution to the article is as follows:
Fragrance choice varies by person; choose your favorite.
Nothing makes a space 'feel like home' more than filling it with scent. Whether you prefer candles or melts, soy wax is a great vehicle to carry fragrance throughout your space without fearing toxins. Once you commit to soy candles or melts, the only worry is selecting the best scent for your home. Fragrance is a very personal choice and is usually based on a positive memory, an all-time favorite, or selected for a particular mood (calming, uplifting, soothing); seasonal choices are always fun, as well. Refreshing summer scents might include Hawaiian Breeze, Mokapuni, Peach Bellini, or Watermelon Lemonade. Fall should include festive scents such as Apple Pumpkin, Pumpkin Spice, or Snickerdoodle. Winter is a time for comforting smells or to refresh your space with outdoor scents like Aspen Winter, Balsam & Cedar, or Frozen. Spring is for cleaning or florals: Fresh, Nordic Spa, Sun Washed Linen, Honeysuckle, Jasmine, Magnolia, or Rose. – LeAnn Jenkins, CottageGoods, hand-crafted natural candles, lotions, and soaps in Jones, OK
