Soy Candles…100% soy candles are truly a wonderful, clean burning, natural product. When keeping the wick properly trimmed, there is virtually no soot. There are up to 11 carcinogen compounds found in paraffin candles. Color variations in soy candles are normal and referred to as frosting. Frosting is when the soy wax forms tiny, white, frosted-looking crystals on top and/or on the sides of the jar. This is a natural occurrence in soy wax. Soy candle manufacturers often add paraffin wax (called a parasoy blend) to their candles to eliminate frosting. I am committed to providing a paraffin-free candle. Frosting will vary with dyes and fragrances.
When you light your soy candle for the first time, it is important to remember that it has a memory. You should burn your candle until you receive a full melt pool (melt across the entire top of candle).This usually takes 1 to 3 hours depending on the diameter of the candle jar. Not allowing a melt pool could cause the candle to tunnel. A good melt pool will also release more fragrance. When relighting, always trim the wick so it is free of any mushrooming on top. Always place candle jar on a heat resistant surface and never leave unattended.
