Soy wax has many of its own natural characteristics that most people are not familiar with seeing in paraffin. Soy wax burns much cooler than paraffin, therefore, a larger wick must be used for optimum burning. Your candle should be burned for a minimum of 3 hours the first time, and at least an hour each time thereafter, to ensure an even burn pool across the top of the candle. After cooling, the top of the candle may appear “bumpy” or uneven — this is normal and will not compromise the quality of your candle. Soy wax is also well-known for “frosting” (tiny, vein-looking marks in the candle) or “wet spots” (where the wax has pulled away from the container, creating a “bubble” look). Again, these are natural characteristics of soy wax and have no effect on the fragrance or burning of your candle. Seeing these characteristics will assure you that you have purchased a 100% pure soy wax candle, not a candle with a small percentage of soy, blended with paraffin or other additives. |
