Scented Soy Candles
All our scented candles are handmade in Victoria in small batches, using 100% soy wax, lead-free cotton wicks and vessels designed to be reused/recycled.
Soy Wax ~ We use a natural 100% Soy wax, which is bio-degradable, non-toxic and vegan.
Wicks ~ Our wicks are lead-free and made out of cotton. The reason why some candle companies use lead in their wicks, is to ensure the wick stands up straight throughout the burning experience. We don’t believe it’s necessary to be burning lead, but it is important to ensure the wick is centred at all times.
To make sure the wick is centred, after you extinguish your candle and it’s cooling down, grab a wick dipper or a bamboo skewer and straighten/move the wick across to the centre. Most of the time, the wick will curl and will only need to be lifted and moved slightly.
Why does everyone mention trimming the wick?
It’s very common practice for serious candle burners to trim the wick before you light your candle. This ensures that the flame doesn’t get too large and out of control. It also decreases the amount of soot which can build up, and most importantly it will give you the most burn time out of your candle.
It’s such a small effort for a large reward, so remember to trim the wick!
Fragrance Oil ~ The fragrance oil used in our candles is non-toxic, vegan, cruelty free and made in Australia. There is a high percentage of essential oils used within the oil as well as man-made ingredients. This ensures that the candle gives a good cold and hot throw of the scent and does its job by providing a sensory experience.
If you are sensitive to these types of fragrances, we have a range called Aromatherapy, which uses 100% essential oils instead of fragrance oil. More info can be found here.
Or you can always burn our Beeswax candles, which are all natural and are unscented.
Vessels ~ Our amber jars used for our scented candles can be reuse or recycled. The black lids are made out of ABS material, which is BPA free and can also be recycled.
Best Tips - Always trim your wick before you light your candle and ensure the wick is centred.
