Modern Forestry all candles are made with 100% American grown soy wax (not watered down with paraffin fillers) which lasts 30-50% longer than paraffin wax. They are clean-burning, phthalate-free and contain essential oil-based fragrance oils. Soy candles are non-toxic, have very little soot release, and maintain a longer scent throughout the life of the candle. We do not add coloring, additives, or stabilizers to the candles. We let it dry in its natural form and allow the oils to react with the drying process some of which create different variants in color. Most of our candles dry in the natural creamy coloring from the soy wax. Some dry with a darker hue while others are a little brighter depending on the temperature and oil reactions. This doesn’t change the structure and quality of the soy candle. We use lead-free cotton wicks and cedar wicks. Our candles are hand-poured into glass mason jars.
Burn time can be affected by several different factors like wind draft, length of wick, and size of container. Soy wax is known to get 6-7 hours of burn time for every 1oz of wax. Our 4oz candle burns a minimum of 20 hrs, 8oz is 40 hrs, and 16oz is 80 hrs.
