How To Get the most out of your candle!

To begin, here are some details about how our candles are made. All of our candles are made from USA grown and made soy wax that is a sustainable resource. Our wicks are all cotton. 

Our fragrance oils are phthalate-free, paraben-free and never tested on animals and are made from a blend of essential oils and cosmetic grade fragrance oils.

To maximize the quality, longevity and safety of your soy candles, we recommend the following to care for your candle:

• When lighting your soy candle for the first time, allow the wax to melt all the way to the sides of the container. This will take around 1-3 hours depending on the size of the container, but it will prevent "tunneling" and extend the life of your candle.
• Soy wax burns at a lower temperature than paraffin wax, so soy wax candles require a thicker wick. Be sure to trim your wick to about 1/4" before relighting to ensure a long-lasting candle and minimize soot.
• Extinguish your candle by dipping the wick into the melted wax and straightening it. This will stop the wick from smoking and make it easier to relight next time.

Keep in mind that all of my candles are hand-poured in small batches, so each candle will have its own unique characteristics. You may notice darker patches or "wet" spots in container candles made with completely natural soy wax. This is not a defect, but simply a small blemish where the wax has not adhered to the glass 100%. The top of your candle may also appear slightly uneven, which is also a sign of natural soy wax being hand poured.
