Why Soy Wax Candles?
Soy wax candles are changing the candle industry. Soy
is considered to be the New Wax For The Future. Over the next few years,
you will see a big shift in the candle business with more and more
people looking for a cleaner burning, healthier candle. As people become
aware of the health hazards associated with paraffin burning candles,
they will ultimately want what is best for them... Natural Soy Wax
Candles.
Cottage Home Candles hand pours all their containers
with the best natural soy wax available. Soy wax is made from all
natural soybeans and farm grown here in the USA. Please know that when
you Light Up Your Home with our natural soy wax candles that it is
promoting the agricultural sector of the U.S. economy!
Here are a few key facts about Natural Soy Wax:
- Soy wax burns cooler, more evenly and lasts up to
50% longer. (Paraffin candles burn hotter, faster and unevenly.)
- Soy wax candles burn cleaner producing very
little soot. (Paraffin is petroleum-based, produces carcinogens and
releases high amounts of lack soot polluting the air and damaging
home interiors. When soot is airborne, it is subject to inhalation.)
- Soy wax candles are biodegradable and water
soluble. You can clean up a spill with soap & water.
- Soy candles are non-toxic and non-carcinogenic...
currently it is the most environmentally safe candle available.

Candle Burning & Safety Tips
- Its best NOT to trim the wick when lighting your
soy candle for the first time. For natural wicks it is normal
to notice some "mushrooming" at the top of the wick. Trim your wick
to 1/4" to 1/2" and discard before re-lighting.
- Re-trim the wick before every use.
- Place candles on a heat resistant, dry surface
away from anything that can catch fire and out of reach of children,
pets & drafts.
- Burn candles in a draft free area clear of
combustible material such as curtains, books, baskets, etc.
- Glass and tin containers may become hot so be
very careful if you should have to move your candle in any way. Its
best NOT to move a burning candle.
- A good indication that the wick is too long is
that your soy candle may begin to smoke... that's why its best to
keep the wick trimmed.
- Allowing candles to burn until a complete melt
pool has formed all the way across the jar or tin will prevent
tunneling. Never throw matches into the melt pool of your candle.
Discontinue use of candle when 1/4" of wax remains. Allowing the
candle to burn until no liquid remains will cause excessive heat and
may cause glass to break.
- Do not place the lid on a candle container to
extinguish the flame.
- NEVER leave lit candles unattended while burning.
It is estimated that 7 out of 10 homes burn candles on
