In the 1990’s agricultural chemists began to develop a natural, softer, slower burning wax alternative to paraffin using soybeans. Soy wax is biodegradable and supports the American Farmer!

Many companies are promoting this. Harvest Glow, LLC DOES NOT RECOMMEND THIS! Some fragrances and dyes are not body safe. If you are looking for a natural moisturizer we recommend using soybean lotion or other natural ingredient lotions.

Yes. As reported by the National Candle Association, decades of research and a history of safe use in the marketplace support the safety of fragrances in candles. At Harvest Glow, LLC we only use fragrances formulated for approved candle use.

The phrase “triple scented” can be misleading. Many companies claim their candles are scented 3 times the amount of other candle makers. There is a maximum fragrance amount a candle can hold before it becomes unsafe. In the past, candle industry standards used .5oz as the standard. Now 1.5oz is the maximum fragrance amount suggested. So “triple scented” could mean 1.5oz based on the old standard or 4.5oz based on the new standard – this being unsafe! At Harvest Glow, LLC we use the best formulated fragrance amount to provide you with the best fragrance throw for your money.

Actually this is a natural characteristic of a natural wax. It’s unpredictable, so not all candles will have it. However, it is harmless and will not affect your candle’s performance.

Essential oils are naturally occurring from plant sources. Fragrance oils may contain some natural oils but the majority is a synthetic or “man-made” oil to produce a natural smelling scent that lasts longer and is not harmful to humans. Some essential oils (EO) can spoil and are sometimes difficult to get a good scent throw from.

Different fragrances affect people in different ways. We recommend that if a particular fragrance triggers your asthma to stay away from that fragrance in soy candles as well. Always remember to burn you soy candle in a well ventilated area.

While we are not experts in the animal field; we have heard from several of our customers that birds are able to tolerate soy wax candles. Please contact your veterinarian for more information.

These are carbon deposits called “mushrooms”. They develop when the wick is consuming the hot wax and fragrance mixture. Some fragrances create larger mushrooms. This may also occur if the wick is too long. Some mushrooming is normal and doesn’t need attending; however we recommend moving all mushrooms before each burning session. If the wick is too long; extinguish the flame and trim the wick to about 1/8 to 1/4″.

We do not recommend refilling our jars with candle wax because glass weakens as it accumulates imperfections from use. The jars can be used as holders for all types of items in your home such as: marbles, buttons, nails, cotton balls, and more. Also, our jars are accepted at recycling agencies that accept glass.

More than likely this is due to the wick not being centered. Extinguish the flame and center the wick; allow wax to set up and then re-light.

No soy candles are completely soot free – soy wax does emit a very small amount of colorless soot. The black spot could be from the flame being too large or close to that side of the jar or from blowing the flame out (this causes smoking). We recommend keeping the wick trimmed to ¼” and using a wick extinguisher to avoid smoking.

Soy wax is easily cleaned up with hot water and soap; however, we recommend checking with a professional for clean-up on furniture or clothing.

If we have the candles in stock we ship out within 1 or 2 business days – excluding summer months (we ship out on Mondays and Tuesdays- to avoid packages sitting in hot warehouses over the weekends). However, please keep in mind it could take 7 to 10 days especially during holidays. Our candles are handmade – no assembly line here – so sometimes we may be in the process of making candles for your order.

We tak care to package your order carefully. However, during the shipping process accidents happen. We recommend insurance to protect the customer’s interest. If for ay reason the merchandise is damaged in transit or lost, the customer is able to receive a replacement. Without insurance, we are unable to reimburse due to damage in transit or lost shipments.
