LOVE WINS ~ pink peppercorn + dark rose + labdnum, a Natural Hand Poured Soy Beeswax Candle
Please be aware these are handmade by me, so there may be natural variation in color. Also please note that all of the wax melts and candles are made from soy beeswax blend which may show signs of natural frosting, but this does not affect their wonderful scent.
*This candle is further enhanced with a handcrafted wax and/or other non wax accents, which melt with the burning wick and settle into the wax. After the candle is done, simply discard any left over adornments!
Hand Poured Soy Beeswax Candle approximate burn times*:
- 16 oz = 85+ hr Burn Time
- 14 oz = 80+ hr Burn Time
- 12 oz = 65+ hr Burn Time
- 10 oz = 50+ hr Burn Time
- 8 oz = 35+ hr Burn Time
- 5 oz = 20+ hr Burn Time
- 17 oz 3 Wick Candle 60+ hr Burn Time (Note: multiple wick candles burn faster but have the furthest scent-throw)
*Burn times vary and are based on 4 hour burns. If you burn your candle for longer than 4 hours at a time, results will vary.
Each time you use your candle, trim the wick to 3⁄8” (about the width of your pinky finger) before you light it. (wooden wicks can be "pinched off” with fingers) This helps ensure a smaller, safer flame and less soot.
Burn for 2-4 hours each time; this will help prevent the flame from getting too large and will not only maximize the fragrance throw but also help to avoid "tunneling" (when the candle burns down the middle, leaving wax around the edges). If tunneling occurs, it can be fixed by melting the top with a hair dryer, melting the wax just until the top is level. Allow wax to dry before lighting.
Did you know burning candles that contain beeswax produce negative ions? These are thought to neutralize airborne pollutants, helping to remove the negative effects of breathing in dust, odors, and mold. Candles that contain Beeswax are the most durable & long lasting candles you can own! They burn brighter, longer, & cleaner than any other type of candle. I mix both Soy and Beeswax and call it the “Beehive Blend”. These are skin safe and contain a minimal amount but longer lasting natural fragrance oil.
STOP! HOLD THE PARAFFIN!!! We all love a good candle, but do you actually know what's in them? If you care to know and why have we chosen not to use it?
WHAT IS PARAFFIN WAX?
Paraffin wax is a white, odorless petroleum by- product created when crude oil is refined into gasoline. Crude Oil is a type of oil that is highly unsustainable due to being a non-renewable resource.
EFFECTS ON THE PLANeT
Crude Oil is not replenished with the speed at which it is consumed. It has been the cause of drastic changes in climate, devastation and damage of natural environments and oil spills.
BURNING CANDLES WITH PARAFFIN WAX: EFFECTS ON CONSUMERS
Paraffin Wax creates highly toxic benzene and toluene when burned aka carcinogens. These toxins released from paraffin candles can also be found in diesel fumes (a mixture of gasses, vapors, liquid aerosols and substances made of particles) which can be linked to asthma and lung cancer.
