 Health and Environmental Benefits

Non-Toxic Emissions:

• Soy wax is a natural product derived from soybeans, making it a healthier alternative to paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum and can release harmful chemicals when burned. This ensures a cleaner burn with fewer toxins released into the air.

Biodegradable and Sustainable:

• Soy wax is biodegradable and comes from a renewable source, which reduces its environmental footprint. It's a sustainable choice compared to paraffin wax, which is non-renewable and environmentally damaging.

Low Soot Production:

• Soy candles produce significantly less soot compared to paraffin candles, helping to maintain better air quality in your home and reducing the risk of discolouring walls and furniture.

 Performance and Practicality

Longer Burn Time:

• Soy wax candles generally burn slower and longer than paraffin wax candles. This is due to the lower melting point of soy wax, allowing you to enjoy your candle for an extended period.

Better Scent Throw:

• Soy wax has excellent scent retention properties. When combined with essential oils, these candles can provide a consistent and natural fragrance that disperses evenly throughout the space.

Cleaner Burn:

• The even burning of soy wax minimises the occurrence of tunnelling (when a candle burns down the centre, leaving wax along the sides of the container). This ensures more efficient use of the wax.

 Aesthetic and Therapeutic Benefits

Aromatherapy:

• Essential oils in the candles offer aromatherapy benefits. Depending on the oils used, they can help to reduce stress, improve mood, enhance focus, or promote relaxation and sleep.

Customisable and Unique:

• Handcrafted candles often come in a variety of unique scents and designs, making them perfect for personalised gifts or for adding a touch of individuality to your home décor.

Natural Ingredients:

• The use of natural and organic ingredients ensures that you are not exposed to synthetic fragrances or dyes, which can sometimes cause allergic reactions or headaches.

 Convenience and Versatility

Portable and Safe:

• Tinned candles are portable and easy to carry. The tins provide a safe and convenient way to use candles without the risk of glass breaking.

Reusable Containers:

• Once the candle has burned down, the tin can be repurposed for a variety of uses, such as storage for small items or as a plant pot, contributing to waste reduction.

Preparation

Choose a Safe Location:

• Place the candle on a heat-resistant, flat surface away from flammable objects, drafts, and out of reach of children and pets.

Trim the Wick:

• Before lighting, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch (6 mm). This helps prevent excessive smoking and ensures a cleaner, more even burn.

Lighting the Candle

First Burn:

• Allow the candle to burn long enough for the entire surface to melt to the edges of the tin (this can take a few hours). This prevents tunnelling and ensures an even burn in the future.

Use a Long Lighter or Match:

• To avoid burning your fingers, use a long lighter or match to light the wick, especially as the candle burns down and the wick gets lower in the tin.

While the Candle is Burning

Monitor the Candle:

• Never leave a burning candle unattended. Make sure it’s within your sight and extinguish it before leaving the room or going to bed.

Avoid Moving:

• Do not move the candle while it is burning or while the wax is still liquid. This helps prevent spills and accidents.

Keep Away from Drafts:

• To ensure an even burn and to prevent uneven burning, keep the candle away from drafts, air conditioners, and fans.

Extinguishing the Candle

Use a Candle Snuffer:

• To extinguish the flame, use a candle snuffer to avoid blowing wax and soot, which can create smoke and soot stains.

Check the Wick:

• After extinguishing the candle, ensure the wick is upright and centred to make it easier to light the next time.

Maintenance and Storage

Trim the Wick Before Each Use:

• Regularly trimming the wick before each use helps maintain a clean burn and extends the life of your candle.

Store Properly:

• Store your tinned candle in a cool, dry place with the lid on to keep dust and debris out of the wax. This also helps preserve the scent of the essential oils.

Reuse the Tin:

• Once the candle has completely burned, you can clean out the tin and repurpose it for storage or decorative uses.

Safety Tips

Avoid Burning to the Bottom:

• Do not burn the candle all the way to the bottom. Leave about 1/2 inch (12 mm) of wax to prevent overheating the tin, which can become a fire hazard.

Ventilation:

• Ensure the room is well-ventilated, especially if you are burning the candle for an extended period.

By following these steps, you can safely enjoy the ambience, fragrance, and benefits of your tinned natural and organic handcrafted soy wax candle with essential oils.
