Pecan Pie Soy Wax Candles

Description

No additives, no dyes, and no frills, these pecan pie soy wax candles are simple and elegant. Each candle is hand-poured into quilted glass mason jars that can be used again after the candle has burned out. We selected cotton wicks for their slow, smokeless burn and hand-dipped them in our pure soy wax to ensure the best wicking possible. As a result, we produce cool-burning wicks that keep the jars cool enough to grab while the candle is lit (though handling during use is definitely not recommended) and lengthen the life of the candles to about 60 hours and 30 hours respectively.

NOTE: Pure pecan pie soy wax candles do not throw scent like a paraffin candle. Soy candles burn low and slow so they work best in one to a room. We find that one candle in the kitchen and one on the mantle in the living room is perfect for our moderately-sized, open-concept common area.

Soy Wax Facts

Soy wax is famously temperamental. Poured too hot, soy wax will not set well or will frost; poured too cool and the wax will be riddled with sinkholes. To top that, pure soy wax does not retain the fragrance load that other waxes and wax blends hold. So why use it? We have found soy wax to be superior to other waxes for its clean burn and compostability because pure soy wax contains no carcinogens, pollutants, or toxins and is easy to work with once one has the process down. We love the natural color of soy wax and how it varies slightly depending upon the oils used. Soy wax is smooth, clean, and natural–what more could we want?

> All candles are poured into quilted glass mason jars and can be reused or recycled after use.
> Expect to see frosting or some tunneling. Pure soy wax is famous for doing this and often ends up being blended with a less sustainable wax to avoid it. We would rather keep a clean, pure soy wax around our young family than to blend it with other waxes or additives for aesthetics. Simple is better!

How to Use and Care for Your Soy Wax Candle

– DO NOT burn candle for more than 4 hours at a time.
– DO NOT leave a burning candle unattended.
– Keep out of reach of animals and children.
– Burn candle away from flammable materials and on a smooth, level surface.
– Avoid placing candle on a window sill or somewhere with extended sunlight exposure as it will turn the soy wax yellow. A yellowed soy wax candle is still perfectly fine to burn, just no longer a soft, creamy color.
– Do not trim wick closer than 1/4 inch.
