What are the benefits of soy wax?

The benefits of soy wax are many!  Soy wax is a clean-burning, natural, and renewable resource.  Soy wax candles burn cleaner, slower, and longer than paraffin wax (which is a petroleum-based wax derived from crude oil) Soy wax is also biodegradable and cleans up easily with soap and water - making it easy to repurpose your vessel!

How do you estimate Burn Time?

Burn times are based on the approximation of 5-7 hours of burn time per 1oz of soy wax.  We do not recommend burning candles for more than 4 hours at a time.

Is there a proper way to burn a candle?

Absolutely!  Get ready for a game changer:

Trim those Wicks.  Every.  Single.  Burn.

A properly trimmed wick results in a cleaner, better burn.  We recommend trimming wicks between 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch long.

Allow the wax to melt all the way across the whole diameter of your candle before blowing it out (to prevent “tunneling”).  This may take a couple of hours, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the burn.

*Refer to the warning label on the bottom of your candle for further safety instructions

Candles for Good Collection- How are your donations calculated?
