Your 7oz Jar candles are in 9oz containers.
Why Aren’t they 9oz candles?
Even though the container is 9oz, that does not always mean that you get that much product. However, like a great bartender, we tend to do a heavier pour so all 7oz Jar Candles are well over 7oz of wax. We simply say 7oz on the label as a catch all/baseline. Being a product of The Show-Me State, we want to be completely transparent about the amount of candle goodness.
Why should i burn the candle 4 hours at a time?
We recommend burning a candle for a maximum of 4 hours each time you enjoy your candle. This reduces the liklihood of any issues from the container overheating and give you a chance to remove any carbon buildup (or mushrooming) along the wick. Doing so decreases the chances of excess smoke and soot as well!
You say that you use Safe Scents in your Candles. WhaT qualifies a Scent as Safe?
You may already be familiar with our exclusion of phthalates, but we also exclude materials with similar health concerns, including those on California’s Prop 65 list. All scents used by Pearl Candle Company are safe because they DO NOT CONTAIN:
Carcinogens: These are materials known or thought to cause cancer.
Mutagens: Materials that change the DNA of a cell, harming the cell and causing diseases like cancer.
Reproductive toxins: Toxins that adversely affect reproductive organs and increase the risk of birth defects.
Organ toxins: These are toxins that can cause adverse effects or disease within specific bodily organs.
Acute toxins: Toxins that can cause adverse effects from a single exposure. Generally, this would be accidental exposure like spillage or ingestion.
How Long Do your Candles Burn?
Our test candle burns avg 40-50 hours per candle. Please note, we follow our own care instructions during these burns and stop every 4 hours to trim the wick.
How can I prevent Tunneling in my Candle?
This takes some planning on your part. During your first burn of the candle, you want to make sure you allow the candle to burn long enough for the entire top to melt. This will help with an even burn the rest of the way. This can take anywhere from 2-3 hours so set some time aside.
What Kind of Wax do you use?
We use a soy/coconut blend of wax in our candles. We find that it holds our scents well and does not create black smoke if the candle burns for longer than 4 hours. This wax blend also has a higher melting point which, we have found, allows them to last longer than most paraffin candles.
