Bats on Halloween Eve Candle

Our candle gel is the Penreco Versagel™ brand. These gels are specially formulated for candle making and offer flash points of 450°F and a (typical) sustained burn (Fire Point) of 500°F. 

Zinc cored wicks are used in our candles because they stand straight in hot gel during production and burning. Wick length and placement are calculated carefully for each candle.

Our fragrances are high-quality and meet all health and safety standards as set by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA). Our candle scents have been tested and are compatible with gel candles when used according to Penreco’s guidelines. Our candles are designed to enhance, but not overpower, your space with aroma.

We choose heat-resistant containers manufactured for candles such as high-temperature resistant glass jars with bamboo lids, long-lasting, sealed ceramic containers, and mercury glass votives. All our containers are nonporous, smooth, and thick enough to avoid cracking.

Only non-combustible, non-flammable materials are used as decorative embeds in our candles. Items such as glass and ceramic figures, sea glass, marbles, rocks or shells, are used as embeds in our candles. Sand is often used in the bottom of our seascape and landscape candles and a “flame stopper” is added to the wick to extinguish the flame before touching the sand. (This is a small metal tube that fits over the wick and slides down to the point where we want the flame to stop, and then it is crimped with pliers).

Gel candles typically burn twice as long as traditional candles. This is because gel wax has a lower melting point than traditional waxes, allowing it to burn more slowly. The exact burn time can vary based on the size of the candle.

Yes! The transparency of gel wax allows light to pass through, creating a beautiful and rich glow throughout the entire candle.
