WHAT'S IN OUR CANDLES?
at The Wick Lab we've got sky high standards
WAX
We use 100% soy wax. No wax blends here - and zero additives. As a vegetable based wax, Soy burns cleaner than other waxes (*cough cough* paraffin) and does not give off any harmful by-products. Soy is thicker than paraffin, which means a longer overall burn life! 100% biodegradable, rest assured Soy wax is environmentally friendly. Our wax is made from soybeans grown right here in America. So when you come in to pour a candle, you're supporting American Farmers!
OILS
We have high standards for our oils. You won't find any phthalates in our fragrance oils. Phthalates are found in hundreds of products. For candle making purposes phthalates are solvents used to increase the strength of a fragrance oil. While that sounds great - phthalates can damage the liver, kidneys, lungs and the reproductive system. All our oils pass through a high standard of quality assurance before they are even considered to be placed on our shelves.
WICKS
Our cotton wicks are exactly that: cotton. This means there isn't any iron or zinc in our wicks - a common component of 'cotton' wicks. Our soft crackling wood wicks are sustainably sourced and expertly hand-crafted right here in the USA.
Bottom Line:
We want your candle to be a candle we would light in our home. We pride ourselves in providing sustainably sourced, environmentally friendly and quality ingredients for your pour-your-own products. Waft on into The Wick Lab confident in the fact you're not getting any icky chemicals, additives or carcinogens in your candle!
