It’s a Dandles speciality.

The little stats are simply decoration made from extra soy wax.

Throw them away or toss them into your melting candle. The wax stars are unscented.

Cut wicks before burning even on a new candle. Wicks should always be trimmed to a ¼ inch.

Dandles Candles are made from soy wax.

Specifically, we use Golden Brands 464. It’s made in the USA and is a widely used soy wax throughout the country. It is partially hydrogenated soy bean oil and comes in a flake form.

Soy wax is renewable and also a cleaner burning wax - just two of the reasons we use soy wax.

Paraffin wax can be toxic.

Paraffin wax candles contain a petroleum byproduct. They can also release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and soot that can trigger asthma, headaches, and dizziness.

Dandles Candles DOES NOT USE PARAFFIN WAX in any of our products.

Dandles candles and wax melts are created using soy wax.

See above for more details on soy wax.

Most Dandles do not have any color to them, so no dye.

There are a few exceptions where Dandles scents are offered in colored wax. Dandles uses a dye chip in those colored batches.

The dye chip is considered safe to use and burn according to California’s Prop 65 list of toxic chemicals. This means the manufacture does NOT consider them to contain reportable carcinogens under that regulation.

Soy candles, like Dandles, are the safer to burn with less soot than a paraffin wax candle.

Soot is very common with paraffin wax because of its petroleum foundation.

However, if wicked properly and with correct wick trimming, a soy candle should be close to soot free. That’s the benefit of burning soy candles.

Dandles uses high quality scent oils too which helps cut down on any soot risk there. However, that’s not to say every candle is soot free.

Lead-core wicks have been banned in the U.S. since 2003.

Most U.S. made candles were made without lead wicks starting in the 70s.

Any metal core wicks you see in an artisan candle like Dandles Candles are made from zinc, to stiffen the wick while burning.

Overall, most wicks used by artisan candle makers, like Dandles, use cotton and paper core wicks.
