Benefits of Soy Candles:
Environment and Local Economy
Soy is a renewable resource. Black Dog Candles are 100% pure soy candles, hand poured from soybeans grown in Kentucky.
Clean Burning & Non-Toxic
Soy produces 90% less soot than other waxes and is Non-Toxic for those with breathing problems.
Longer Burning
Soy lasts as much as 3 times longer than regular candles.
Stronger Scent
Holds scent better, heavily drenched in fragrance oil. We use the maximum scent load allowed by our soy wax.
Candle Burning Tips:
-
Keep burning candles away from drafts & vents. If candles are burned in a drafty location they may tunnel (not burn all the way out to edge). All candles are prone to tunneling if put in this type of condition because the edge of the wax is not heated enough to melt.
-
Recommended burn time approximately 3 hours at a time or at least until the wax pool is completely melted. (Rule of Thumb - Burn candle for 1 hour per inch of diameter, which is 3 hours for our candles).
-
Make sure not to trim wick too short. Keep it at approx. 1/2" rather than the 1/4" of conventional parrafin wax candles to make sure it does not burn out and to prevent tunneling.
