More than wax in a jar...
How to recognize a quality, hand-made candle
How does one know if the candle you’re buying is a quality product, a product that will perform to your satisfaction long after the purchase? Will you be recognized for your good taste, and in turn, proud to display the candle in your home? How may you be confident that your choice will be received as a valued gift? We know that today’s discriminating consumer demands variety, attractive packages, brilliant, true colors, long lasting fragrances, consistent quality, and superior value. Here is how this is accomplished by the candle maker:
Process
Our premium candles are truly hand-made. We pour each one at a time from small batches and purposely “mottle” (texture) the wax, to produce an appearance of graininess. Without mottling, a candle seems paste-like and bland. But with mottling, each candle becomes unique and alive, ever changing with use and time.
Ingredients
The wax we insist on in the candles we sell is of the highest-grade paraffin blend available--made especially for candles. This is important, not only for consistency during manufacture, but to ensure optimum burn quality. The wicks are paper or cotton core, and guaranteed lead-free. We use only the richest dyes, proven to penetrate deeply throughout each candle. In addition, a special ultra-violet inhibitor is included to reduce fading caused by bright lights and harmful rays from the sun. All fragrances are carefully selected for authenticity and long-lasting effect. You will find the experience of our candles consistently pleasurable after many hours’ use.
Product Qualification
Each new product is tested before any are made available for sale. Wax, wicks, dyes, fragrances, even container shape, all contribute in some way to the effectiveness and pleasure of candle burning. We test-burn our candles for many hours, in variety of conditions, to make absolutely certain that our combinations are reliable, safe, and will perform admirably over the life of the candle.
