Candles are made with a blend of coconut and soy waxes; they are all-natural and sustainable, burn cleanly and slowly, and, with properly trimmed wicks, are virtually soot-free. Due to the use of natural vegetable waxes, candles are not as strongly scented as paraffin candles, but instead emit a softer, more subtle, scent that is perfect for everyday use. Farm + Sea uses premium, phthalate-free fragrance oils in all of their products.
On the first burn, allow the melt pool to reach the edges of the container before extinguishing; this can take up to 3 hours depending on the size of your candle. This will ensure a more even burn throughout the life of the candle, and a maximum scent throw. Also, it's very important to trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before each burn, to help encourage an even melt pool and minimize smoking. As always, do not leave a burning candle unattended, and keep out of reach of children, pets, and drafts.
