Can i use my votives outside of the glass container?

 

Soy wax is a softer wax compared to traditional waxes. Therefore, it needs to be in a tight fitting glass holder to ensure proper burning.

​

Do you use other natural waxes?

​

We only use pure Soy Wax , grown in Holland.
Palm Waxes are not a sustainable choice! Many rainforests are destroyed to make way for such farms.

​

What is your wax made of?

​

We only use 100% Soy Wax. Soy candles burn longer and cleaner than traditional candles. The lower melting point of soy wax also prevents tunneling and residue build-up and provides a more fragrant experience than blended waxes.

​

What do you use to scent your candles?

​

We work with only pure, plant based scents. How can that be, when some of our candles are called in our own name? All of our scents are very complex and diverse and we work with a very broad range of botanical ingredients to create new and exciting fragrances. This allows us to put a unique spin on our names (creating new names is probably the HARDEST part!!). 

We believe that if you are going to make a candle with Soy wax, it better be scented using only pure botanical scents!

​

Are your candles organic?

​

Regardless of what some manufacturers may claim, no candle can actually be certified organic. (The solvents used in the hydrogenation process of any natural wax make that physically impossible). That said, our waxes are made from natural, Holland grown soy beans.

​

Does La Candela di Gerardi test on animals?

​

All of our products (including raw material) are vegan and cruelty-free. We do not test our products or ingredients on animals.

​

Can i custom my own candle?

​

Ofcourse you can, just send us a message, we will give you all the info needed to make the candle as you want!

soon we will adjust our page where you can compose and order your own candle yourself.

​

Is there a proper way to burn your candles?

​

Yes! A candle burn is affected by several factors including size and shape of vessel, wick, scent, temperature/draft in the room, etc. The key to achieving the perfect burn is to always allow your candle to completely liquefy across the top before blowing it out to avoid tunneling. Before each burn, make sure your wick is trimmed to ¼”. Don’t drop debris, like matches or wick trimmings, into the wax. Don’t place your burning candle on sensitive or uneven surfaces. Discontinue burning your candle when about ½” of wax remains.
