Why Soy Wax?

Mar 11

Natural soy wax burns cleaner than other waxes - paraffin is a bi-product of petroleum, which is highly toxic. Soy wax offers a much cleaner burn, and is safe for your health.
Soy wax burns at a lower temperature, so the candles last longer. Our 11.5 oz candles have a total burn time of 60+ hours, and our 8 oz tins have a total burn time of 45+hrs.
Soy was is an excellent fragrance carrier and does not require chemical amplifiers. The result is a well-balanced beautiful scent throw.
Soy wax supports our American Farmers and is a renewable resource. Choose Soy as a health and environmentally safe option!

All of the candles at Birch House Candles are made from 100% soy wax with no additives, and by now you can probably understand why!

Our Candle Making Process

A quality candle does not happen by accident, it’s a careful work of art that comes with countless hours of wick testing, to ensure an even burn, and fragrance testing, to guarantee a beautiful scent throw.

We are proud to share our process with you... not for you to try to make your own candles, but so you have an appreciation of the art.

Candle Care

01. For best burning results, we recommend burning for 4 hours at a time.

02. Allow the melted wax to reach the edge of the jar before blowing out your candle. This will prevent "tunneling" down the middle, which is especially important on the first burn.

03. Always trim the wick to 1/4" before lighting to ensure a longer-lasting candle and safer burn.
