Candle burning tips:

• The optimal burn time is one hour for every inch of the candle’s diameter. For example: If the diameter is 2 inches across, the candle should be burned for 2 hours.

• Candle’s first burn: Providing enough burn time allows the candle to heat evenly and a pool of wax to reach the outside rim of the jar. This creates “memory” for the wax, as each time the candle is burned it will remember to burn out to the rim.  If the wax does not achieve a full melt pool, it will not continue to burn evenly, creating tunneling down the center of the wick leaving wax on the sides of the container as it burns.

• If you like to burn candles for hours on end, be sure to extinguish every 3-4 hours and trim the wick. This will keep the flame from getting too large, soot from forming at the top of the jar, and prevent the jar from becoming too hot.

About soy candles:

• Soy wax is plant based, derived from the vegetable soybeans, making this wax natural, renewable, biodegradable, and vegan.

• Unlike many candles that are made from other waxes, such as paraffin or synthetic blends, soy contains no toxins, carcinogens, or pollutants.

• Not only are soy candles clean burning, but they have a better scent throw, hold their scent longer, burn more evenly and last longer than paraffin wax candles.
