About Our Candles

Why soy wax?

We chose soy wax because it burns better, cleaner, and longer than paraffin wax. Soy wax is a natural and non-toxic product that requires no additives aside from the premium fragrance oils we blend with it. Not only are soybeans a renewable, biodegradable, and carbon neutral resource, but they also greatly benefit the American agricultural economy and support U.S. soybean farmers.

 

Are your candles phthalate free?

Yes, all of our fragrances oils are free from phthalates. Though phthalates are used to dissolve raw materials in apothecary goods, medicine, and scents, varying health concerns have recently emerged regarding their use. There are no regulations against the use of phthalates in candles, but many manufacturers are moving away from using them in the production of goods.

 

How do I get the most out of my candle?

Our recommended burn time is 3-4 hours. Trimming the wick to a ¼ inch between each burn will help your candle last longer and remain cleaner. You can prevent tunneling by allowing the melt pool to reach the outer edges of the container with each burn. Allow your candle to cool before handling and never leave your candle unattended or within reach of children, drafts, or pets.
