Collection: SOY CRYSTAL CANDLES

Important Note:

Remove crystals from hot wax with a slotted spoon and place in the gem bag supplied or you may leave the crystals in the candle while burning as long as the gems are not close to the wick.  This will cause the candle to not burn properly.

Picking a Quality candle


The burn-time

The burning time of the candle must appear on the packaging. The burn-time is defined to a large extent by the mixture and the wick. If they are well balanced, the candle will burn as expected. If this is not the case, the spark plug will not reach the expected burn time.
The burning time is always indicative, it is rare that it is precisely reached.

The size of the flame

The flame of the candle must be big enough. Depending on the size of the candle, the ideal length is between 1 and 1.5 cm. Too long a flame often goes hand in hand with soot production and has caused the candle to burn too fast. A flame that is too small is mostly blue and creates little atmosphere and heat.

No soot

A quality candle should have the least amount of soot possible. As stated in the previous council, the flame of a bad candle emits soot. This darkens the ceiling and spreads soot particles into the room. 


Candles in a glass jar

More and more candles are presented in a glass. Here it is necessary that the surface of the candle melts evenly. If only the center of the surface has melted after about 3 hours, you are in the presence of a candle of lower quality. A bowl is formed and the edges of the candle do not melt. In other words, part of the candle is never consumed. This often means that the candle does not reach the promised burn time (mentioned on the packaging) and therefore you have paid too much.

Scented candles

The least you can expect from a scented candle is that it smells pleasant. If this is not the case, it means that the perfume is of poor quality or that the mixture of the candle (we speak of blend) contains a bad component (for example gasoline or fuel oil). The percentage of perfume in candles varies and has nothing to do with quality. Olfactory perception is obviously subjective. However, it goes without saying that a better perfume or a higher content of perfume makes the candle more expensive. So beware of cheap scented candles. A candle that contains too much perfume may start to sweat or show crystal formation in the candle. This in itself has little effect on the behavior of the candle when it burns
