High Quality Soy Candles
Everyone should be able to enjoy the luxury of a cozy, great-smelling candle without worrying about the safety of their environment.
I offer pure soy wax candles, without coloring and oils, that are phtalates and vanillin free. All my supplies come from companies that offer chemical free scents.
Working with pure soy wax brings challenges, such as finding oils that are compatible. It's a time-consuming journey. I run tests to see if the cold throw, hot throw, and wax are compatible. It takes two weeks to run tests and burn the candle to check for issues. Slowly I'm building variety - a couple new scents at a time.
​
Candles are priced according to vessel, scent, wax, wicks, and miscellaneous supply costs. I also offer refills (in store only) for 1/4 of the original price.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are soy candles safe?
Soy wax burns clean, unlike paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum. With 100% soy wax candles, you can enjoy that cozy flicker and have a great-smelling home without worrying about soot stains, respiratory problems caused by smoke, or toxins being released into the air. The most feedback we get on our candles is that they don't cause headaches! Thank you people for saying what we try to do in our business, make them pure!
2. What are some other benefits of soy candles?
Soy candles are luxury candles! They burn longer than paraffin candles, so even tho they may cost more, you enjoy them for longer. They also burn more evenly, so you won't see the "tunnel effect" that comes with cheap candles, and they don't leave a greasy residue in the container.
3. How do I properly care for my soy candle?
The first time you burn your candle, make sure to burn it long enough for the melted wax to reach the edges of the vessel. This will help the candle to burn more evenly. Make sure to burn your candle in a well ventilated area. Trim the wick to 1/4" before each burning.
If for any reason your candle is tunneling, the first question to ask is how long it has burned. Most candles take an ample time to pool across the whole surface. If it would perchance to tunnel before the time of total pooling, take a knife and cut away some of the wax, being careful not to injure the wick, so it can get a bit more air. You may need to cut out an inch or more to make this happen. This generally takes care of the problem.
