How We Make Our Soy Wax Candles: Behind the Scenes in Wisconsin

Ever wonder what goes into making the perfect soy wax candle? At our workshop in Wisconsin, we take pride in crafting high-quality, eco-friendly candles that not only fill your home with delightful fragrances but also support sustainable living. From sourcing premium soybeans grown in the USA to hand-pouring each candle, every step of our process reflects our commitment to excellence and sustainability.

Sourcing 100% USA-Grown Soybeans

Our journey begins with sourcing soy wax made from soybeans grown by American farmers. Soy wax is a renewable, biodegradable, and sustainable material that burns cleaner and lasts longer than paraffin wax. By choosing USA-grown soybeans, we ensure the highest quality while supporting local agriculture and reducing our environmental footprint.

The Wax Melting Process

Once we have our premium soy wax, it’s time to melt it down. In our Wisconsin workshop, we use professional-grade equipment to carefully heat the soy wax to its ideal melting point. Maintaining the right temperature is crucial for ensuring a smooth and consistent burn in the finished candles.

Selecting Premium Fragrances

The heart of any great candle is its fragrance. We partner with trusted suppliers to source high-quality, non-toxic fragrance oils. From soothing lavender to invigorating citrus, each scent is carefully chosen to provide a clean and long-lasting aroma. We also test every fragrance to ensure it pairs perfectly with our soy wax for optimal scent throw.

Hand-Pouring with Precision

Every candle we make is hand-poured in small batches to ensure consistency and quality. After blending the melted soy wax with the fragrance oils, we carefully pour the mixture into eco-friendly containers. Our team’s attention to detail ensures that each candle is poured evenly and free of imperfections.

Choosing the Right Wick

The wick is a small but critical component of a soy wax candle. We use high-quality cotton wicks that are lead-free and designed to burn cleanly. Each wick is carefully centered during the pouring process to ensure an even burn.

Cooling and Curing

After pouring, the candles are left to cool and cure. This step allows the wax and fragrance to fully bond, resulting in a stronger and longer-lasting scent. Depending on the candle size and type, the curing process can take up to 48 hours.

Finishing Touches

Once the candles have cured, we trim the wicks to the perfect length and inspect each one for quality. We then label and package them with care, ensuring they arrive at your doorstep in perfect condition.
