Why buy "Simply Soy by Andraleen" candles? Soy candles are simply better for you! CLEAN BURNING
Soy wax is non-toxic and burns cleaner than paraffin, with no soot, which can blacken walls, ceilings, and furniture. Most commercial candles are made from paraffin wax and paraffin is made by extracting the waxy substance from crude oil. Soy candles are all natural and do not contain any of the harmful
toxins associated with paraffin wax. LONG BURNING
Soy candles burn slower and cooler than paraffin wax, creating a longer burning candle. Soy candles last 30% to 50% longer than traditional paraffin candles. Soy candles can be deceiving; while they may look like they are in a small container; they will burn much longer than expected! RENEWABLE, BIODEGRADABLE AND MADE IN THE U.S.A. Soybeans are a renewable source, unlike paraffin, which consists of petroleum. Since soybeans are vegetables, soy wax is naturally biodegradable. Buying soybean products which come from U.S. farmers helps to create important economic growth for the U.S. I only use wax that has been made in the U.S.A. FRAGRANCE OILS
I only use the highest quality oils which are undiluted so you are guaranteed to get the strongest scent possible in soy wax. Because soy wax is natural and a very soft wax; some scents perform better than others. I test all fragrances before I select them for production. I always use the maximum amount of fragrance oil in every candle that I make. WICKS
I only use top-quality, cotton wicks. These wicks burn cleaner and are classified as safety wicks. The candle will extinguish just before it burns to the bottom of the jar which is recommended to ensure fire prevention and safety. OTHER FEATURES
I take great care in making sure my candles are safe and natural. I use as many natural ingredients as possible without compromising the scent of the candle. I take great pride in making sure the description of each candle is accurate. I also believe my candle scents are “true to life.” I only select oils that smell like the natural ingredients so you won’t find a candle that smells artificial. WHY ISN’T THE SCENT STRONG WHEN I REMOVE THE LID? Because soy wax is different than paraffin wax you can’t always get an idea of how strong a soy candle is when you remove the lid and take a sniff. You will be able to smell the scent but just because it doesn’t seem strong does not mean that it won’t knock your socks off when you light it! Soy candles don’t always have a strong scent when cold but as soon as they warm up; their full fragrance is released! WHY ARE ALL THE CANDLES WHITE? Adding dye to candles only adds unnatural ingredients. In order to keep my candles “natural” I choose to keep them dye-free. I also appreciate the aesthetic quality. When purchasing candles; I would find myself choosing based on the color of the candles and the décor of the room that I would be using it in. Making all my candles in pure and simple “white” rectifies this predicament! BURN TIMES
Small Candle: 70-78 hours (Burns as long as a medium commercial jar)
Large Candle: 140-155 hours (Burns longer than a large commercial jar)
Burn times vary depending on the type of fragrance oil used as well as the conditions of the room that you are burning them in. Always remember to follow the instructions on the CAUTION label on the bottom of your candle! One thing to keep in mind with soy wax is that it has a “burn memory.” The first time you light your candle, let it burn for at least an hour. If you develop an even burn pool the first time, each subsequent time you light the candle, the candle will continue to burn evenly.
