Lavender Scented Candle, Black Jar (14 oz)

Ours are listed at 45 to 50 hours in total. You’ll get the most out of it if the first burn lasts long enough to melt the wax to the edge of the jar, about three hours, and if you trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each light. A candle that tunnels leaves unused wax on the sides.

Many people prefer them. Soy wax is made from soybean oil, a renewable plant source, while paraffin is made from petroleum. Soy also tends to burn more slowly and at a lower temperature, so a jar lasts longer. Our candles are mostly soy wax, and some scents are blended with beeswax and essential oils.

On the first burn, keep it lit until the melted wax reaches the edge of the jar, about three hours for our candles. After that, burn it for one to four hours at a time. Then put it out, let it cool and trim the wick before the next light.
