Our soy candles are made with 100% natural soy wax. We add our custom fragrances, which consist of a combination of essential oils only or an essential oil and fragrance blend. A few facts about our soy candles: Soy wax is made from soy beans and contains no petroleum products, so it burns much cleaner with fewer allergic reactions. Soy is biodegradable and helps support farmers rather than the petroleum industry. There is little to no emission when burning Soy wax so you breathe cleaner air. Clean up Soy Wax with soap and water! Soy wax burns completely as long as you burn your new candle long enough the first time. Soy wax burns at a cooler temperature so your soy candle will last 30 - 50% longer than a paraffin (petroleum based) candle, with no leftover wax. We select high quality wicks for our soy candles so when you extinguish, there will be less smoke and no mushrooming. Also, the wicks won't wear out before your candle is finished. Approximate burn time for our Travel (tin) Candles is 35 - 40 + hours. Approximate burn time for our Glass Jar Candles is 50 - 60 + hours. NOTE: Be sure to break in your new candle properly the first time as soy has a memory. Trim the wick to approx 1\4 inch. Light and burn long enough for the wax pool to reach all sides of the container, which shouldn't take long. For longest burn time, burn your candle for up to 3 or so hours at a time. Extinguish and let it harden up. Relight as desired. Our candles are mildly scented and designed to release a subtle fragrance when burned. They contain a blend of essential oils and fragrance at approximately 5%, unless otherwise noted. Please note: Nearly all of our soy candles sold out before we were able to add them to our web store. New batches are coming asap.
