As co-founders of Milkhouse Candles, Eric and Janet Sparrow grew a love of candles created with wax from the soybeans that grow in abundance in the rich soil that surrounds their home. Through years of experience and thousands of hours of development, they built the Milkhouse Candle brand as one of the most successful soy candle brands on the market.

This passion puts Eric as the leading man in the quest to help get more candle-makers into a cleaner-burning alternative to the standard paraffin waxes of old, and into a new era of cleaner-burning soy-based candle waxes.  Through extensive research and a sharing of knowledge with some of the most brilliant minds in the business, soybeads.com was born.

Soybeads.com is built on the understanding that soy candles are more desirable and more valuable than other candles on the market.  It’s also historically been more difficult to produce a truly great soy candle. Through his years of experience with Milkhouse Candles and as a consultant to other brands, Eric has identified that the main problem with today’s wax options is a lack of focus on the needs of the candle-maker.
