Comments (13)Um I make soy candles which are from 100% soybean wax, no additives. I only add fragrance oil, and I use natural fiber wicking. Where you have a fire and burning, you'll have soot. Sometimes, if I've over wicked a tester, I'll get black soot, not like thick smudgey stuff that is common in alot of paraffin commercially made candles but none the less soot...veggie, and soy candles can make black soot. And if burned properly a quality made paraffin candle will not make black soot either. And there is truth to the burning of petrolum/paraffin can cause asthmatics to have issues with breathing, and some animals as well....See MoreSoy candle & self cleaning wick
Comments (0)For those of you who make candles maybe you can help me. I want to purchase some 100% soy scented candles wholesale for my non profit to do fund raising. I cannot find a pure soy candle with a self cleaning wick. When I say self cleaning, I'm talking about a wick that falls off as it burns and doesn't turn into a big black glob that throws off black smoke. Can you help?...See MoreCB Advanced Soy Help
Comments (2)What brands of fragrance oils have you tried? There can be great differences in quality. It sounds like you are doing everything right, but you may just be using an oil that works poorly....See Moresriston
