Lotus Candle | Beeswax

Paraffin wax candles (those cheapo grocery store or hobby store candles) — which are known to give off harmful fumes such as toluene and benzene, both linked to lung cancer and asthma. Paraffin is a by-product of petroleum, a non-renewable resource. Soy candles — without getting into too much here (we'll do a blog post soon), many a soy candle is not 100% soy. Say what? Yep, it only has to be 51% soy to be labeled soy. What's in the other half? Paraffin. More often than not, they are colored and scented with toxic dyes and fragrances. Best to go with scentless candles. Wait, there's more: The problem with soy is most of it is genetically modified to say nothing of the clear cutting that happens to grow soy. Think Amazon Rain Forest.

BURN TIME/CARE INSTRUCTIONS
• ~40 hours
• Always remove all paper labels.
• Always trim wick to ¼” before lighting.
• Burn for at least 3 hours each burn to prevent tunneling. If tunneling begins, extinguish flame, and use fingers to mold warm wax walls towards the wick. This will allow for optimal use of the wax and will raise wax level to help lessen an over-sized flame.
• To prevent excessive smoke and wick charring, extinguish wick by using a tool to dunk the wick in the wax pool and return the wick to an upright position.
• Always burn on a level surface and NEVER leave unattended.
