Our all natural soy candles are handmade with 100% soy bean wax free of GM (genetically modified) material, herbicides or pesticides and is grown under kosher conditions. The aromatherapy line scents are derived from natural essential oils extracted from some of natures greatest gifts and are 100% Pure. The luxurious line scents are derived from custom blended fragrance oils and are 95% Pure. We do not use additives such as parrafin, vybar or stearic acid just to make the candle look pretty. Soy wax has natural imperfections (don't we all!) such as having a bumpy, frosted, or flaky appearance. You may note this after your first burn.  This is completely natural and will not interfere with the scent of your candle. It is also a telltale sign of a true soybean candle. The benefits of burning soybean wax candles by far outweigh any appearance imperfections.  
Our soy wax candles are made from American-grown soybeans which support our U.S. farmers and economy instead of foreign oil conglomerates. Our soy wax meets FDA and Kosher standards, is nearly soot free, burns cleaner and longer than paraffin, is biodegradable; if you have a spill it cleans up with just soap and water. Once the candle has completely burned, the glass is re-useable, the label is easy to remove, the wick can be removed by using a fork or utensil to release the glue and then simply wash it with hot water and soap.

It's all about the wick care! Your wick(s) have already been cut for the best performance at the first burn. Do not trim wick(s) before burning for the first time. Keep wick(s) 1/8” to 1/4" long so the candle will burn properly.  While soybeans are all natural and won't produce soot it is possible for the wick to slightly mushroom.  This usually only happens when the wick(s) are not properly trimmed. We use natural cotton wicks in our candles.  They are designed to bend at the tip while they are burning to ensure an even burn, but if your wick is too long it will bend too far and will burn out. Slightly trim wicks with a wick trimmer or scissors before each burn if the wick appears to be bending over to the point that the tip is touching the wax.  Do not use your fingers because we wouldn't want you to get burned! Use a wick dipper to extinguish your candles without smoking.

 *never burn unattended or by flammable material*
*never burn near the reach of a child or animal*
*never burn in an area where there is a draft*
*do not walk with a lit candle or a candle that has been burned and has with liquefied wax*
*place your candle on a holder, trivet, or candle plate to protect surfaces from heat damage*
*outer surface of candle tin, pail, or glass may be very hot after burning, if you plan to move your candle please use oven mitts or protective hand coverings*
*extinguish a candle if it smokes, flickers repeatedly, or the flame becomes too high. Cool, trim wick, check for drafts and then relight*
*extinguish the flame if it comes too close to the holder or container. For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when only 1/4 inch of wax remains in the bottom of container*

*These are only a few precautions.  While we want you to enjoy our candles, we want to ensure you are burning them in a safe manner. House fires are on the rise and we must all be responsible when burning candles*

Q. How do you make your candles?
 A.  No factory candles here~each candle is blended and poured by hand with love and care.  Our candles undergo thorough testing to assure an even burn with a highly fragrant scent throw all the way to the bottom.  We pride ourselves in paying special attention to every detail and consistency with each batch.

Q. Do you use chemical additives?
 A. We do not use chemical additives just to make the candle look pretty! Soy wax has natural imperfections (don't we all!) such as having a bumpy, frosted, or flaky appearance. You may note this after your first burn.  This is completely natural and will not interfere with the scent of your candle. It is also a telltale sign of a true soybean candle.  The benefits of burning soybean wax candles by far outweighs any appearance imperfections.

Q. How long should I burn my candle for the first time?
 A. Always allow the candle to be burned until the entire surface is completely liquefied at the first burn. It will take approx. 2 1/2 to -3 hours to liquefy the entire surface during the first burn of our 12 oz containers. 


Q. Will your candles burn black soot in the air?
A.  If burned properly, our soy wax candles are virtually soot free. 

Q. Can you make candles for special occasions?
A.  Absolutely!  We have talented graphic artists that can design custom labels for any occasion.  We can also create customs scents and designs. Just call or email for quote.
