What type of wax is used in Light & Glo. Designs’ candles?
We use premium 100% natural Soy Wax, specifically formulated for candles. It is composed of non-petroleum renewable resources and derived from natural soybean oil. Biodegradable, free from pesticides and herbicides, kosher certified and also free from any Genetically Modified Material. Our soy wax is not tested on any animals and is manufactured meeting FDA standards.
Why choose Soy Wax?
Soy wax candles are made with 100% natural soya beans, which are non-toxic and far better for the environment. Soy wax burns clean, with 95% less soot than paraffin candles and also cooler at a temperature of only 54°C (paraffin is a dangerous 63°C). Soy wax candles also produce less smoke, less soot and are less toxic than normal candles. Another benefit is that the wax be easily cleaned up in hot soapy water.
Why we use wooden wicks?
We use natural wood wicks in all LIGHT & GLO candles. These wicks create a unique soft crackling noise reminiscent of a log fire. Other benefits include a cleaner burn with no carbon buildup and little debris. They also offer a longer burn time, maximizing the life of your LNG candle.
How do I store my LIGHT & GLO candle?
Always remember to store your LIGHT & GLO candle in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight.
How do I remove spilt soy wax?
Allow the wax to completely harden and then remove any larger pieces of wax. Being 100% natural and biodegradable, soy wax is water soluble and therefore very easily cleaned with hot soapy water.
Is my LIGHT & GLO jar re-useable?
Absolutely! We encourage you to re-cycle. Once you have finished burning your candle, the glass jar that is left behind can be reused. After the wax is completely removed (simply with warm soapy water), these jars are a unique way to store everyday items including make-up brushes, cotton wool, or as a vase for flowers etc.
My candle has surface imperfections. Is this normal?
During temperature changes, soy wax will sometimes release excess oil. This often happens after shipping across the country and is known as ‘sweating’. This will not affect the candle, nor usually reappear after the initial burn. To remove the oil, use a paper towel to gently wipe it clean.
LIGHT & GLO candles are all hand poured and not massed produced. Although every effort is made to ensure consistency, each candle is unique. When using natural soy wax, sometimes you may notice darker patches or wet spots in your container. This is not a fault of the candle – simply a characteristic of natural soy wax where the wax has not 100% adhered to the glass. This does not affect the candle in any way. It’s how you know it’s completely natural soy wax.
