About Our Candles
Our goal is to create natural soy candles with scents that will enhance your homes atmosphere without overpowering it!
Black Fern Gifts uses soy wax because it is a renewable source and 100% natural wax derived from soy beans. Soy wax is non-toxic and cleaner burning as it is made without toxins, carcinogens and pollutants so it is less likely to aggravate allergies.
Since soy wax is a vegetable based wax, during the burning of our candles, it does not produce black soot or give off harmful byproducts.
As soy wax is a natural product, you may see variations in the look when unlit and while burning. That is completely normal and is a characteristic of soy wax, but does not mean the quality is affected.
Using soy wax also means that your candle will last longer as soy burns slower and is an excellent fragrance carrier.
Our fragrances are phthalate-free and of the highest quality, infused with essential oils. The company we purchase our fragrance oils from formulate them without phthalates and without ingredients found on California’s Proposition 65 list.
This company also goes a step further by avoiding these 5 major hazard groups:
- Carcinogens: These are materials known or thought to cause cancer.
- Mutagens: Materials that change the DNA of a cell, harming the cell 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 organ's.
- Acute Toxins: Toxins that can cause adverse effects from a single exposure. Generally, this would be accidental exposure like spillage or ingestion.
So, when we say our candles are as clean as we can make them, we mean it!
A lot of thought went in to our packaging and we decided on clean and simple instead of bold and expensive, so that our high quality candles are affordable for everyone!
Candle Care
If used correctly, our candles will provide you with a beautiful clean burn!
- Soy wax has a memory. To ensure your candle doesn't tunnel, for the 1st burn and all subsequent burns, allow the wax pool to reach the edges of the container before extinguishing.
- How memory works is if you light a soy candle for the 1st time then extinguish it before the wax pool reaches the edges, the next time you burn it, the candle will melt across as far as it did the first time.
- Burn your candle for a max of 4 hours each time you use.
- Always trim you wick to 1/4" to ensure proper burn.
- Burn candle on a stable surface and never leave unattended.
- Always keep away from kids, pets and anything flammable.
Our candles are hand poured and not mass produced to ensure quality and freshness.
