How to Identify Pure Soy Candles:

​

  Soybean wax is a natural product and is made from soya beans and other natural botanical ingredients. Soy candles naturally have a frosting or bloom throughout the wax and it is most noticeable in jar candles that have dye or colored wax. This is the main reason we stock pure soy wax candles with no color. Frosting or bloom does not affect the scent throw or the burning properties of the candle. Frosting or Bloom is a crystal growth of vegetable oils and will cause the candle to look dry, which is simply a characteristic of that crystal structure. You can minimize the frosting by keeping your candle out of direct sunlight and fluorescent lighting. Weather changes can also cause additional frosting. Even though it is almost impossible to stop the frosting or bloom in soy wax, it is just a natural feature of a wonderful wax. So remember if you are looking for a pure 100% soy candle, always look for the frosting or bloom and you will know it is a pure soy candle.

​

  Soy Candles burn 90% cleaner than paraffin candles. Not soot-free but candles made with 100% natural soy wax have less soot than paraffin wax candles. The soot produced is a lighter, white soot that can't always be seen. Most container candles will get black soot on the glass and are mainly from the wick than the wax. Keep the wick trimmed to 1/4 inch, always remove the trimming from the candle ​and keep the candle out of drafts. Bask Candles are pure Soy Wax and Eco-Friendly.

Soy Candle Care:

 

  Every time you light your soy candle we recommend you let the candle completely melt or liquefy across the surface before extinguishing. By doing this you will enjoy a longer-lasting soy candle and it will help to prevent tunneling down the center. Most important is to always keep your wick trimmed to 1/4 inch.
