Wax Types:
Soy Wax: A natural wax that provides a clean burn and a gentle scent in the room.
Coconut Oil Wax: A natural wax that provides both a clean burn and a strong fragrance in the room.
How strong will the scent be in my candle?
Scent strength is based on two factors: type of wax used and % of scent to wax allowable for the wax to perform properly. This is called "fragrance load".
Soy Wax: has an allowable fragrance load of approximately 2%-8%
Coconut Oil Wax: has an allowable fragrance load of approximately 2%-10%
Geeda’s Hand Poured Candles uses the highest % of Fragrance load allowable by wax type. You choose the wax and we provide the strongest scent possible.
Wick Types:
We use paper wicks for Pillars and for natural waxes. We used Cotton wicks for traditional wax container candles because it is a slightly cooler burning wick for this soft wax. We do not use any metal in our wicks.
Fragrances:
All our fragrances are phthalates free and while 90% are also skin safe, we do not do any testing on skin.
