FAQ

Why soy wax?

We care about you and your lungs, so we use high quality ingredients including soy wax, phthalate free fragrance and lead-free cotton wicks.  Soy wax has numerous health and environmental benefits including:

• Soy wax burns clean with no toxins, carcinogens, or pollutants. Unlike paraffin wax, our soy candles contain no petrol-soot that release toxins into the air and blacken walls or ceilings
• Longer lasting burn – Soy wax burns cooler which means you can enjoy your soy candle much longer than a paraffin wax
• Derived from a renewable resource (soybeans)
• Biodegradable and easy to clean-up with soap and water
• Supports American Farmers

Are there burning or care instructions?

• Trim your wick to 1/4” before lighting
• The 1st time you burn your candle, allow it to create a full and even wax pool across the entire surface.  Short burns will create tunneling in the wax later.
• Do not leave a burning candle unattended
• Keep away from pets and children
• Burn on heat resistant surfaces  
• Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or yellowing 

Why did my candle "tunnel" and not burn to the edge of the jar?

The most common reason a candle tunnels is because it didn't burn long enough the first time it was lit.  The first light of a candle is very important to ensure it burns evenly.

Why does my candle have a bumpy surface after I burned it?

100% soy wax naturally solidifies with a rough surface on occasion. Don’t worry, the next time you light the candle, it will create a liquid wax pool that will fill your space with the beautiful fragrance. 

How do I clean the candle jar, so I can repurpose?

Repurposing our Mason Jars and Antique Vessels is fun and easy.  Wash them with warm soapy water and a sponge and you’ll be ready to create something new and beautiful in no time.
