There have been several misconceptions floating around (especially on the internet) regarding paraffin waxes vs. vegetable-based waxes. Many proponents of vegetable waxes are making extravagant claims about their superiority to paraffin. It is important to realize that both are safe, viable "natural" raw materials with differing chemical compositions thus offering many varied benefits depending on end user applications.

How does it feel on your skin? When you put the oil on your skin, does it feel greasy and heavy? If it does and the skin does not absorb it and creates a greasy film on top of the skin...then it is mostly soy wax. Does it have color? If it does, then it more than likely has some sort of a wax product in it for the color to adhere to. For the most part, dyes in candles are not skin safe.

We are finding more and more that our customers prefer the Natural Soy Wax candle that we offer, due to the fact that they put out far less soot than other types of candles.

Consult the laundering instructions provided by manufacturer of the fabric. Professional cleaners are valuable sources of information. If attempting to clean the item yourself, it is important to allow the wax to completely harden. Once hard, gently chip away the wax from the fabric. After most of the wax has been removed, run hot water through the fabric. Citrus or oil-based cleaners are the most effective in removing stains.

All you need to do when the candle is finished burning is to simply grab the remaining wax with your fingers and peel it away. There is no need to add water into your candle cups or votive holders.

Bloom refers to the slow rising of "essential oils" to the surface of a cigar. It first shows up as tiny (almost microscopic) crystals on the surface, and can eventually make a cigar look slightly "dusty" with a whitish finish on the surface. Not only is it harmless, some prefer to see a little bloom, as an indication of strong taste. Mold OTOH, is (ick!) a fungus, growing on overly humidified stogies.

Paraffin dip is a treatment for the symptoms of joint and muscle conditions, such as arthritis, that consists of melted mineral wax derived from petroleum applied to a body area. Paraffin dips can be especially helpful in relieving the pain and stiffness of arthritis involving the small joints of the hands or feet when used as a small bath. The hands and feet are repeatedly dipped into the melted, warm wax and the wax allowed to cool and harden around the sore joints.

It can, however, be polished with a pewter polish (available from Hagerty), or washed in warm soapy water.

Excess or spilled wax can be removed from the lantern by chipping or scraping it off with a blunt object. This is easier if you first place the part with the wax on it in a freezer for 10-20 minutes until the wax becomes brittle. You can also remove wax by heating until just hot enough to cause melting and blotting with absorbent material.

the flame nears the bottom of the glass jar and most of the wax is gone, the glass at the base of the candle can get extremely hot and could be dangerous. If you discontinue using the candle with 1/2" of wax remaining, the base should not get too hot. You should also to remember to burn all candles on heat resistant surfaces.

Occasionally this may happen due to the nature of soy wax. The benefits of soy wax far outweigh any appearance flaws. This does not normally happen on candles that have been properly extinguished. To get your wick back, take a long grill lighter and melt the wax on the top layer until you can see the wick. Once you can see the wick, dump out the wax that you have melted with the lighter into another wax safe container, NOT into a trash can as the wax will melt the plastic.
