Description

The listing, 1 Soy Wax Candle has ended.

***This is for 1 of my medium baby food jar soy wax candles. this is for a bright pink and the scent is stargazer lily. Burn time is approx. 20-30 hours (if burned properly). ***

Free shipping due to cracked wax on the top, it should still burn correct (someone was too impatient and didn't let it cool correctly first).

Wolf Lite candles use a special blend of soy bean with other botanical oils to make up this 100% natural soot free wax. Soy candles last 50% longer than candles made of petroleum- based paraffin, the ingredient found in most candles. Burning of soy candles does not increase the CO2 level in the atmosphere.
They also burn slower and cooler (helping to distribute the fragrance better), are non-toxic, less likely to trigger allergies, clean up with soap and water, and produce very little soot. These factors tend to make them more animal and child friendly than traditional candles. Soy Wax also contains no animal fat or animal bi-product.
They also help support the American farmers. Soy wax is also a favorite of environmentally conscious consumers. Made from American-grown soybeans, its biodegradable, a renewable resource, and from a global point of view, it "supports the U.S. economy instead of foreign oil conglomerates."
Paraffin wax, on the other hand, is made from petroleum and produces carcinogens and soot when burned. In fact one air quality researcher stated that the soot from a paraffin candle contains many of the same toxins produced by burning diesel fuel. Even many if the seemingly healthy, aromatherapy candles sold today can do more harm than good.

Hi... I was wondering how noticeable the scent is... Some candles are scented and really fill up the room. Some are scented but the scent is very subtle. What is this one like?

Soy wax is meant to burn at a lower temp. to allow the fragrance to disperse better, and this one has a scent to it and you can notice it but if you are constantly in it you won't. that make any since? I had some burning in my living room, i couldn't smell it until after i left and came back inside. This one may smell more since i love stargazer lily. It is more in general a stronger scent.

Thank you for your answer; it makes great sense. I like candles that really scent up a room. And it's normal not to notice it if you are in it but it's nice to come into a room and smell it. Some "scented " candles really don't do that. I wish I could make candles... but I just have a tiny area, no stove, just a plug-in range and microwave. I would love to make designs and also put objects like shells or things like that in them if that would not wreck the candle. But I guess you need room and that is a small space.

yea you would need some room for that. Just so your not so cramped and have space to work on a few at a time or you would waste wax. I melt a large pot of it and than in different heated pots split it up and mix the scents and color in. than you need room for the jars to sit which should be heated first in the oven... yea... lol it would take space.

They seem to burn longer!

that is because they burn at a lower temperature so it takes longer to burn and they burn all the way.
