CANDLE USE & CARE
🔴NOTICE: Botanical Candle Safety Report: https://candles.org/ncas-report-on-botanical-candles/🔴
Our 100% Soy Wax Candles are natural {vegan}, derived from soybeans, grown by American farmers; while paraffin is a refined gasoline by-product...soy candles provide a nice soft and subtle scent, burn longer, cooler, and cleaner with minimal soot buildup.
Soy wax is an excellent choice for those who wish to burn environmentally friendly candles; lasting 30-50%+ longer than paraffin candles due to the cooler burning temperature and longer burn time; allowing the candle scent to be enhanced and stronger. The Benefits of vegetable based Soy Candles:
* Pleasant, Subtle, Natural Fragrance release || * Non-Toxic, No Carcinogens or Pollutants
* Burns Cleaner, Longer & Cooler than other waxes || * Used as Massage Wax; it literally melts into your skin
* Releases little to no black soot || * Last 25%-50% longer than other waxes since the burn time is slower
* Supports American Soybean Farmers || * Biodegradable, Environmentally Friendly, and Water Soluble
Special Note: As a general rule, paraffin waxes are produced using petroleum toxins; providing a hotter flame/stronger scent throw than soy wax.
Natural Beauty
The top of your candle may also appear slightly uneven; which is sign of natural soy wax being hand poured. Soy dries in a much rougher way than the other wax. We prefer to sell it untouched like this and some consumers also prefer the rough or natural look.
After lighting your candle, the way it will re-dry is determined by the room’s temperature.
Above is a candle that has solidified in our 72 degree home-studio. You can see there is almost a crystallization to the wax. This is completely normal, and does not affect the burn time, scent, or the safety of the candle.
Frosting
The Frosted look in 100% Natural Soy Candles is a common, and a natural characteristic of soy candles. Frosting has no effect on the burn quality of your candle, and may be more extreme in darker colored candles.
Although It is practically impossible to have a 100% Natural Soy candle without frosting, we do try adjust the pouring and curing temperatures to lessen the effect, however shifts during delivery can create frosting as well. It's just one of those things we grow to love about our 100% Natural Soy candles!

The Melt Pool
Light for the first time when your have at least 3 hours to burn - 4 hrs. max. Allow the wax to melt out to the diameter of it’s container, and until 1/4” deep…creating a melt pool, its where the aroma is released. If your candle is extinguished prior to allowing a full melt pool, all future melt pools will not go past the first one.
Remember, If your candle is extinguished prior to allowing a full melt pool, all future melt pools will not go past the first one.
Extinguish your candle by dipping the wick into the melted wax and straighten. This will stop the wick smoking and will help with re-lighting the next time.
Candle Safety

ALWAYS Trim your wick to 1/4" before each lighting
Place on Flat, heat resistant surface, away from flammable material, curtains, and drafts
Keep the wax pool free of debris, and wick trimmings
Allow the melted wax pool to reach the edges of the jar before extinguishing

Never leave a candle burning unattended nor within reach of small children or pets
