How are your products made?
Every product is hand-poured in small batches to ensure exceptional quality and attention to detail. For our candles, we use 100% all-natural premium soy wax.We source fragrance oils that avoid carcinogens, toxins, and other hazardous chemicals commonly found in fragrance oils.
Why do the candles use soy wax?
At Gaia Apothecary, we believe in crafting candles that are better for you and the environment. Here’s why soy wax is our wax of choice:
- Clean Burn: Soy wax burns cleaner than paraffin, producing less soot and a healthier burn for your home.
- Eco-Friendly: Made from renewable soybeans, soy wax is a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based waxes.
- Longer Lasting: Soy candles burn slower, allowing you to enjoy your favorite scents for longer.
- Better Fragrance Throw: Soy wax holds and releases fragrances beautifully, creating a balanced and consistent aroma in your space.
- Non-Toxic: Free from harmful chemicals, soy wax is a safer choice for you and your loved ones.
How can I make my candles last longer?
- Keep the wick trimmed to 1/4 inch before each burn. This helps prevent soot and ensures a clean, even burn.
- On the first burn, let the candle burn long enough for the melted wax to reach the edges of the container. This prevents tunneling and extends the life of your candle.
- For safety and optimal performance, limit each burn session to 4 hours.
- Always place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface to avoid damage to furniture.
- Avoid burning your candle near open windows, fans, or vents, and keep it away from anything flammable.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended or within reach of pets and children.
- Use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame instead of blowing it out to avoid splattering wax.
- -Reuse or Recycle Your Jar: Once the wax is finished, clean out the jar to repurpose it or recycle responsibly.
Are your candles safe to use around pets and children?
Our candles are made with non-toxic ingredients, but always use caution and keep them out of reach of pets and children. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
How can I recycle my empty candle jars?
Once the candle is fully burned, clean out the jar and reuse it as a storage container, planter, or decor piece. You can also recycle it as glass.
