As you may have noticed, most of our natural soy candles come in a glass jar with a lid. Did you know that clear glass is easier to process during the glass recycling treatment in a foundry? So brown (amber), blue, or green glass is a longer and more energy-intensive process to recycle. This is one of the reasons why 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 recycling sorting and processing system.

So we chose our food-grade jars for our candles to give them a second life once you've finished enjoying your soy candle. You can remove the remaining wax, detach the wick, and simply put the jar and its lid through the dishwasher cycle, and now you have a nice jar for preparing small snacks or storing small items to better organize (in the kitchen, garage, or office!)

Candle makers often use the color of the glass to hide imperfections in soy wax. Indeed, soy wax is natural, but it sometimes frosts or has small air pockets on the sides, which is less aesthetic. But since soy wax is clearly a better option for your health and burns much slower than paraffin wax (which, by the way, is a petroleum derivative), we have made the best choices for the superior quality of our soy candles.

Now, enjoy! There's no season not to enjoy burning a candle. Discover our spring fragrances like peony, Sicilian sweet pea, and lavender.
