Reasons to choose soy over paraffin candles...

• Paraffin is the waste sludge produced when petrol is refined
• Petroleum smoke contains many carcinogenic toxins and produces ugly black soot
• Petroleum is not a renewable resource and there is a limited supply
• Burning petroleum products creates air pollution
• Soy candles are made of beans from environmentally preferable agricultural sources
• 90% lower soot emissions - soy candles burn cleaner
• Safe and non-toxic
• Biodegradable
• Water soluble for easy removal from glass.
• Cotton, lead-free wicks
• Longer burn times - soy burns up to 40% longer than paraffin
• Soy burns at a lower temperature than paraffin

The first time you light your candle let it burn for one hour for every inch of its diameter.

This will allow the pool of wax to extend to the outside rim and avoid forming a 'canyon' in the centre.

Burning your candle this way sets its 'memory' so each time you re-light it will remember to burn out to the rim.

Keep the wick trimmed to a quarter of an inch.
