How to care and burn your soy candle

Candle Care

Before each burn:

  • Trim the wick to 1/4 inch each time before burning.

  • Keep the wax pool clear of wick trimmings and match sticks.

While the candle is burning:

  • Each time you burn your candle, allow the entire top layer to become a fragrant pool of melted wax and you will get the biggest and boldest scent possible. THIS is important for the first burn! Soy has a memory and if you stop the burn before the wax has melted all the way to the container, your candle will begin to tunnel or only burn down the center of the candle.

When finished burning:

  • Snuff out your candle by placing the lid back on the jar.

How did you begin

IT ALL STARTED WHEN…

because we love candles and burn them everyday. However, the candles we found just did not fit what we were looking for. We did like everyone else and started researching candles and what made the best candles. We started in our home kitchen and giving a few as gifts in 2017. As a result of this, The Sassafras Company became a dream come true in April of 2018.
