Why a clear glass jar for our candles


As you may have noticed, most of our natural soy candles are in a glass jar with a lid. Did you know that uncolored glass is easier to process in a glass foundry? So brown (amber), blue or green glass is a process that takes longer and uses more energy to recycle. This is one of the reasons we chose this clear jar for our candles.
But did you also know that glass is still not properly recycled in Quebec and often ends up in landfills? This remains a whole problem, as many municipalities in Quebec do not have a properly installed sorting and recycling system. 
So we chose our food safe jar for our candles to give them a second life when you are done enjoying your soy candle. You can remove the rest of the wax, detach the wick and simply put the jar and lid in the dishwasher and you now have a nice jar to make little snacks or store little things to keep organized (in the kitchen, garage or office!)
Often candle makers take advantage of the color of the glass to hide the imperfections of the soy wax. Indeed, soy wax is natural but it sometimes makes frosting or small air pockets on the sides, which is less aesthetic. But since the soy wax option is clearly better for your health and its combustion is much slower than paraffin wax (which by the way is a petroleum derivative), we have put in place the best choices for the superior quality of our soy candles. 
Now, enjoy it! There is no season to enjoy burning a candle. Discover our spring fragrances like peony, Sicilian sweet pea and lavender.
