What is soot and how can it be avoided?

FAQ
Soot is created when a flame exceeds 1 inch in length. Keep the wick trimmed to avoid such a high flame. The quality of wax will also determine how much soot a candle will produce. Scented Specialties uses only the finest premium wax blends ensuring one of the cleanest burns possible. Also, drafts cause candle flames to flicker and smoke is released when a flame is disturbed. Keep candles out of drafts. Scented Specialties recommends using some sort of "candle topper" with jar candles.

Soot is created by the combustion of wax, wick, fragrance and additives. The fewer additives a candle contains, the cleaner the candle will burn. Unlike paraffin, burning soy wax does not produce any harmful toxins and does not contribute to negative indoor air quality. Although soy wax is not completely soot free, it does not produce the thick black soot common to paraffin candles.
