soy wax frosting: why is my candle top changing?

tis the sesason to discuss frosting… no, we are not discussing sugary goodness, but we are talking about a natural process that happens to soy wax!

have you ever noticed that the top of your soy candle may get “frosty” if you keep it a long time without burning? Have you ever wondered if this is normal?

well it is! when the glossy top starts to turn to a more opaque finish, it’s called frosting. this is a natural characteristic of soy wax, and it is one way that you can tell that the candle is made with pure, all natural soy wax.

when the wax arrives to our studio, it comes in opaque white flakes- these are melted down and poured into your candle. overtime, frosting is simply the wax returning to it’s natural opaque state. frosting does not affect the way candles burn or impact the scent throw, so even if you see this on a candle you have kept for a while, go ahead and light it up!

so next time you take a look at your candle and notice little imperfections, let it remind you it was made by humans with the best all natural ingredients!

because it is april and we are located in the great state of michigan, we thought we would share how to transition your home into the spring and summer months by using certain candles to create a brighter environment in the home. basically we are kicking winter to the curb! to do this, we are looking for light, airy, and floral notes in candles- these notes illuminate your home and create a sense of growth and rejuvenation.

the gilded collection: a narrative

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 it’s own narrative- a story that connects people through courage. the artwork done by my husband michael rajnicek, who not only puts up with my crazy ideas, but encourages them in all their glory. the poems are written by myself- they are words pulled from childhood adventures made to inspire future generations.

me with my “birthday crown” at a childhood birthday opening gifts.

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 where not only inspirational, but also kind and full of enduring love. this past year my family said goodbye to my grandmother- a headstrong 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 we are sharing them and releasing the collection online! today is a special day, not only because it is the day our collection is being released, but because it is the first day of march- my birthday month. I know this seems incredibly silly and childish, but even as an adult i keep up this excitement around birthdays, because life is better with with celebration…. and birthday crowns.

so today we celebrate the magic of dreaming, imagination, and the power of women. we celebrate life, love, and the majesty of all queens everywhere. i hope you enjoy!

why wooden wicks...?

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.

summer candle scent inspirations

i took a bit of time away from the studio to enjoy the michigan summer… and it was simply wonderful. and far too short. i enjoyed seeing new things and breaking my normal routine, as well as getting hit with the important reminder that it is the simple moments in life that give you what you truly need.

looking back on a few photos, i thought about those moments- enjoying the cool breeze on your face, watching the clouds pass by, staring into the campfire for hours on end, and exploring enchanted waters and magical meadows. these are the moments that foster inspiration- the quiet moments that allow your brain to reset and your heart to open.

these moments brought me back to why we make candles, and where we find our inspiration. it brought me back to my favorite scents of all time, and especially for those summer nights… and i wanted to share them with you! these are a few of what i currently have burning in my own home. i hope you enjoy!

1. my all-time favorite is our pine + scotch blend. it is “a day at the cabin with a glass of scotch in hand- the perfect blend of pine, smoke, and crisp forest air.” seriously, it’s like a tiny little campfire in your living room. light it up and just stare at the flames for a while enjoying the scent of smoky pine on a summer night.

2. a close second is oak + moss… another rustic scent that has “a strong base of rustic cedarwood, oak, and musky earth, topped with lighter notes of soft moss and forest greenery.” simply enjoy an evening walk in the woods after a summer thunderstorm.

3. lastly, is our soft and sweet juniper + rose blend. this one is perfect for “a warm afternoon on the porch with a slight breeze and sangria in hand. a combination of fruity florals and sweet summer air.” it is a perfect steamy summer night with sweet florals and fresh air.

we hope you enjoy these moments just as much as we do- the world needs this magic, so go explore!

a look in the studio

you may have burned our candles, shopped from us online or in person, or purchased our products from one of our retailers… but have you seen where our candles are made?! we thought it would be kinda fun to show off our studio- to share the space where we mix the magic that we send to your home…

our studio is broken down into stations where we have different tasks- mixing, pouring, cooling, labeling, and shipping. this structure is important for a few reasons like work efficiency and cleanliness (we like to keep melted wax away from our beautiful labels and packaging!)

here is our mixing + pouring station. we have our large waxmelter where we melt around 45-50lbs of wax at a time. we use pouring pitchers to add fragrance oils in, stir, and then pour that batch into our candle vessels.

once the candles look good, we move to labeling! each candle gets labeled by hand with their appropriate collection / scent label.

our studio is located on wealthy street in grand rapids, michigan - a busy shopping district full of coffee shops, restaurants, and other small retail shops.

in our studio space, we have a small showroom where you can shop our collections as well as other candle accessories, homewares and art.

so next time you light up a sable candle, remember the faces and hands that made it, and space it came from. hope you enjoyed the sneak peek into our studio life!

we use bakery style racks to house our cooling candles. after they are handpoured, we move the tray to one of these racks to finish fully setting.

after setting, we do a quality check for any imperfections in the wax (pits, uneven setting, clumpy wax, bubbles, etc). If they need to be fixed, we move them to another rack.

after each candle is labeled, we do another quality check before sending the candles to our backstock shelves, out in orders, or to one of our retailers.

check out a list of our retailers:

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.

we choose our ingredients with intention and precision- shop all of our handcrafted wooden wick candles below:

Why Materials Matter.

Have you ever heard of someone avoiding candles because they cause headaches? Have you ever wondered why candle companies use different types of wax, like paraffin, soy, or beeswax? What most people don’t know is that candles can be made with many different ingredients- some being quite harmful and dangerous to your health, which is why we are quite particular on what we put into our candles here at Sable Candle Co. Our candles are made with a base of 100% all natural soy wax, and then fragranced with a mixture of all-natural toxin-free oils and pure therapeutic-grade essential oils, and finished with clean burning wooden wicks. Each one of these materials is chosen with intention when developing our line of candles.

---

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.

>>> Read more about where soy wax comes from: What is Soy Wax?

---

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!
