what you need to know about soy wax candles:

soy wax is a natural wax option for candles made from soybeans. soy wax candles burn cleaner and slower than standard paraffin candles. 

burn your candle for around 4-5 hours each burn to ensure the wax reaches each corner and doesn’t tunnel. keeping your burning time at around 4-5 hours also helps maintain the longevity of the candles scent. 

what are these white spots on my candle?

since soy wax is a natural wax, it tends to form white crystalline layers along the surface once cured. it is 100% normal and does not affect the candles burn or scent.

when i blew my candle out, it dried uneven and bumpy, why?

uneven and bumpy surfaces while curing is caused by the wax cooling at an uneven rate, it is 100% normal and will resolve itself once burnt again. it does not affect the burn time or scent of the candle. 

are the candles pet safe?

Our candles are made as safely as possible, but we do not recommend burning your candles around any pets. All animals have different respiratory systems and can have different reactions to breathing in different things. They are made with organic soy wax and wooden wicks. The fragrant oils are also listed on being made as safely as they can but there is no guarantee it is safe to use around pets. 

what you need to know about the mystery bone: 

the 8oz candles are the only ones that will contain a mystery bone. these bones need to be small enough to safely fit into the candles. do not expect a huge bone, these bones will be sourced from small mammals such as squirrels, moles, rats, mice, beaver etc. bones it could include would be : vertebrae, leg bones, scapula, etc or even a larger mammal tooth! 

the bone will be wrapped and foil and float to the top. the foil will be hot so please take caution when removing and unwrapping the bone. we are still working diligently and preforming trial and error on how to successfully wrap the bone as safely as possible and to not let any wax get to the bone. over the course of our tests it’s around 70/30 on bones safe and bones that got wax on them. 

if your bone does get wax on it, let dry and carefully buff off any of the wax.
