The Homestead 7oz Soy Candle

"Some rituals stay with you forever…”, she thought to herself. There was a certain something about the tedious act of hanging clothes outside to dry. She set the heaping basket of laundry down onto the lush grass at her feet. Maybe it was the extra time spent in the sun, she wondered. Was it the act of pinching each garment in between the wooden pins with intention? Could it be the smell of mountain air that seemed to embed itself into the fibers of the towels? She stopped to press a warm, clean washcloth to her face and breath in the scent of fresh linen. Its possible, she thought, that aside from being traditional, there was something spiritual about line drying your laundry. Like charging quartz under a full moon – absorbing the earth’s energy into every thread and keeping that little bit of sunshine against your skin as you sleep through the night in a breeze-dried nightgown.

Our soy wax is sourced from soybeans grown in the United States. No ingredients used in this candle are tested on animals.

→ Candle Care
The first time you light your candle, allow the wax to pool all the way to the outer edges of the glass jar. Allowing a full melt pool guarantees an even burn (no tunneling) and maximum fragrance throw. To ensure optimum scent and a cleaner burn please keep the wick trimmed in between burns and do not burn for over 3 hours at one time.
Always burn candles on a level, heat-resistant stable surface and keep your candle away from any drafts or other heat sources to avoid your candle burning too quick or unevenly.

🕯️ Candle Pro Tip 🕯️
Want your candle to last longer with minimal soot? Trim the wick to 1/4” before every single burn, and avoid burning for over 3 hours at one time.

More Info on soy candles:
• Due to the nature of our 100% pure soy wax, may notice a slight frosting on the top of your candles. This is completely normal and a sign that the candles are, in fact, made with soy wax!
• Soy wax is non-toxic and environmentally friendly.
• Soy wax is biodegradable and can be cleaned up with soap and water if spilled.
• Soy candles have a more natural, lighter scent compared to paraffin wax candles. They burn cleaner and do not release potentially harmful petrochemicals into the air while burning, and are great for those who are sensitive to strong headache causing candles in the stores today.

DISCLAIMER:
Each item is made in my small home studio on long island, NY. Because all of these items are handmade, they may have minor imperfections at times such as: slightly off-centered label or wick, tiny markings on the outside of the jar, textured wax on top (typical with natural waxes), etc. None of these impact the quality of the candle. Please realize that scents are subjective and I appreciate you taking the chance on my aromas without sniffing them first. Some Amber & Oak candles are novelty items and can be non-traditional scents. They are my personal creative interpretation of the story behind the candle and it is possible for you to disagree with the scent. Kindly review my shop policies if you are unsure about a scent or send me a message to ask any questions you may have prior to purchasing! :)
