100% Soy Wax
We use soy wax exclusively as it is a natural alternative to petroleum based paraffin wax. Derived from soybeans, it is non-toxic and eco-friendly, therefore better for your health, kind to the environment and safe for your pets.
Candle Care
To ensure you get the best use and value for money out of your candle you should know the following....
Create a burn memory
When lighting your soy candle for the first time, allow the wax to melt all the way to the edge of the jar. This will give maximum fragrance to the candle and create an even memory burn.
Trim the wick!
Soy wax does not burn as hot as paraffin wax so the candles require a thicker wick, which does not burn completely and needs to be trimmed regularly. Always trim your wick to about 6-8 mm before you relight your candle. This will ensure a longer lasting candle, minimise soot production and remove any mushrooming of the wick left from previous burns.
If you do not trim the wick and the candle is in a draft, or left to burn for too long, you may get a mushroom of carbon at the end of the wick which may cause some soot to collect on the inside of your container; this is why it’s important to trim before every relight.
Appearance
Please remember that each one of our candles has been hand-crafted. Although every effort is made to ensure consistency, every candle will be slightly different.
The top of your candle may appear slightly uneven or the soy wax, being a natural product, can pull away slightly from the glass; this is also a sign of a natural soy wax that has been lovingly hand poured.
Please do not leave your candle near any curtains or in a draft.
Please do not leave any candle unattended.
Try not to leave your candle in direct sunlight as it may discolour; but please remember all this does not affect the use or the burn of your candle in any way.
Please enjoy your candle safely.
