The Gilded Collection Launch

I grew up in a small rural town in west Michigan filled with golden fields, green meadows and hidden forests. I would spend hours outside, dreaming a life filled with story and adventure, being the queen of my own backyard kingdom.

Now that i’m an adult, I find that my mind still wanders to these places- I still dream of this magic, and the memory of this brings so much comfort and joy to my heart. This is where my inspiration came from for our GILDED COLLECTION. These scents were mixed with these memories in mind- walking through golden wheat fields, climbing giant hills in the meadow, climbing trees and reaching for something far beyond my tiny perspective on life in reality. These candles are made to inspire- to connect and encourage dreaming, chasing magic, and bring out your inner queen.

Each candle features an image of a woman in her majesty, and is paired an encouraging poem that provides the scent with its own narrative- a story that connects people through courage.

I come from a family full of women; my mom had 3 sisters and I have 2. We all spur from a line of strong women who were not only inspirational, but also kind and full of enduring love. This past year my family said goodbye to my grandmother- a ever cheerful woman full of life, love, and never ending joy. Her memory now joins me in these magical spaces roaming the countryside of west Michigan, and they hold a kind of life that I had to share.

So today as we launch this new collection, we celebrate the magic of dreaming, imagination, and the power of women. We celebrate life, love, and the majesty of all queens everywhere.

The Benefits of Wooden Wick Candles

we often get questions on our wooden wicks, so we thought we would share why we use them, their benefits and how they are different from regular cotton wicks.

1. A clean burn: say goodbye to sooty residue and hello to a clean burning candle! because wooden wicks don’t “mushroom” they provide minimal carbon, soot, and debris build up. just trim off any charred wood from previous burns, and your flame will shine clean + bright.

2. Long lasting: who wouldn’t want a longer life?! the life of your candle is another fantastic reason to buy wooden wick candles- they burn slower than regular cotton wicks. simply add a bit of life to your candle by simply choosing a wood wick.

3. Wider fragrance throw: In a burn test between a wooden wick vs cotton wick candle, results showed that the wooden wicks diffuse heat more rapidly into the wax, and can push up to 35% more fragrance throw into a room, compared to cotton wicks. so what does this mean…? it means your candle is working better, stronger, and faster at spreading it’s fragrance!

4. The crackling ambiance: wooden wick candle wicks have a distinct crackling sound when burning, and a generally more calming and appealing aspect in creating ambiance- in a consumer-facing study, a whopping 96% of consumers said that wooden wick candles are more calming vs. their cotton wick counterparts, and 92% of consumers stated that wooden wick candles create more ambiance. you can’t argue with those numbers!

5. A modern aesthetic: in addition to an awesome ambiance, wooden wicks have a distinctive flat horizontal flame, giving your candle a modern feel that you won’t get with a cotton wick.

6. Toxin free: because our wicks are 100% wood, they are not only eco-friendly and sustainable, but also toxin and phthalate free.

7. Eco friendly + charitable: our wooden wick supplier uses wood sourced from FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified mills and for every $100 spent with them, they plant a tree with the “Trees for the Future” - and organization working to end hunger and poverty for small farmers through revitalizing degraded lands. this means that with every sable candle purchase, you are not only helping to plant trees, but also help support the lives of farming families. read more about this organization at trees.org.

Wooden Wick Candle Care

Wooden wicks are a bit different from a traditional cotton wick- they burn longer, cleaner, and have a cozy crackling ambiance. But they do require a bit of extra care. here are our tips and tricks to get the most out of your sable candle:

1. Always trim your wick before each use, removing all charred wood from previous burns. if you don’t, the wick may not stay lit long enough to fuel the flame, causing it to extinguish itself. to trim a wooden wick remove all charred wood (we suggest a wick trimmer).

2. Make sure to allow the wax to melt across the entire diameter of your candle on the first burn- this helps prevent tunneling, which can impact how well the candle burns.

These two simple tips will help your candle burn clean and long for the entire life of your wooden wick candle.

The Benefits of Naturally Fragranced Soy Wax Candles

Do you know someone who avoids candles due to headaches? Have you ever wondered why candle companies use different types of wax, like paraffin, soy, or beeswax? What many people may not realize is that candles can be crafted from a variety of ingredients—some of which can be quite harmful and hazardous to your health. which is why we meticulous vet all the materials used in our candles here at Sable Candle Co. Our candles are crafted with natural soy wax, toxin-free fragrance oils, pure therapeutic-grade essential oils, and clean burning wooden wicks. Each one of these components was thoughtfully selected during the development of our candle line to create the highest quality candle for your home.

OUR WAX

We only use natural soy wax in all of our candles, and there are a few reasons for that. The main reason is that it provides a cleaner, toxin-free burn compared to it’s counterpart paraffin.

Paraffin wax is commonly used to make candles and wax melts because it is generally cheaper to produce than soy wax. Since paraffin wax is derived from petroleum, coal, or shale oil, it has been found to contain carcinogens (cancer-causing agents) such as benzene, and other toxins like toluene which can cause migraines and other health complications. The chemical toluene found in paraffin wax mainly affects the central nervous system in the brain. Toluene enters your body when it evaporates into the air that you breathe. Research shows that melting paraffin wax-based candles emitted toxic toluene and benzene, while soy candles & wax did not.

Another benefit of soy wax is that it offers a longer, slower burn compared to paraffin- which means you get more out of the life of your candle! For these reasons, we choose soy wax to give you the best value of quality, burn time, and value for your candles.

OUR FRAGRANCES

In addition to choosing natural soy wax, we also vet all of the fragrance oils used in our candle quite carefully. Fragrance oils are often synthetic products made in a laboratory with many additional ingredients being chemicals and petroleum by-products. In fact, according to a report by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), approximately 95 percent of the chemicals used in synthetic fragrance oils are derived from petroleum. Among those chemicals are aldehydes, as well as benzene derivatives and toluene (similar to paraffin wax discussed above).

Other chemicals found in fragrance oils are phthalates and parabens- they are used to extend the aromatic strength and lengthen the shelf life of the candle. Both paraben and phthalates have been linked to adverse health effects, including cancer, reproductive problems, endocrine disruptions (hormones), allergic reactions, and respiratory issues.

Because of this, we intentionally find toxin free oils for our candles- we often used pure therapeutic grade essential oils, as well as toxin free clean natural fragrance oils. What is the difference between the two? Essential oils are truly from nature- they are collected through a distillation process that carefully separates the essential oil from the flowers, needles, twigs, fruit peels, seeds or roots where it is found. It is a process that requires far greater effort and expense than the manufacturing of synthetic fragrance oils.

Clean natural fragrance oils are man made, but are developed intentionally without any of the preservatives and toxins that are often found in synthetics- they are phthalate + paraben free, and put through rigorous standards to ensure they are free of any carcinogens or other toxins known to cause health problems.

OUR WICKS

We want to craft the best, high quality, clean candles for your home and we believe wooden wicks are the best option to do so. They offer a cleaner and longer burn, wider fragrance throw, are eco friendly and offer a cozy atmospheric experience.

When you burn a wooden wick, they burn slower than their cotton counterpart, which means you get more out your candle. They also don't “mushroom”, like cotton wicks, so they provide minimal soot and debris build up when burning. Wooden wicks also burn stronger than cotton wicks, dispersing fragrance with a wider throw. In a burn test between a wooden wick vs cotton wick candle, results showed that the wooden wicks can push up to 35% more fragrance throw into a room, compared to cotton wicks.

They are also a sustainable option- our wooden wick supplier uses wood sourced from FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified mills and for every $100 spent with them, they plant a tree with the “Trees for the Future” - and organization working to end hunger and poverty for small farmers through revitalizing degraded lands. this means that with every sable candle purchase, you are not only helping to plant trees, but also help support the lives of farming families. read more about this organization at trees.org.

Lastly, they offer a unique experience through their cracking ambiance. Wooden wick candle wicks have a distinct crackling sound when burning, and a generally more calming and appealing aspect in creating ambiance- in a consumer-facing study, a whopping 96% of consumers said that wooden wick candles are more calming vs. their cotton wick counterparts, and 92% of consumers stated that wooden wick candles create more ambiance. you can’t argue with those numbers!
