Q: How should I burn my Bottlenose Candle for the first time to ensure an even burn?A: For the best results, your first burn with a Bottlenose Candle should last at least 4 hours or until the entire top layer of the wax has melted into a liquid. This ensures that your candle will have an even burn throughout its lifespan, preventing tunneling and maximizing the candle's overall performance. Additionally, by following this guideline, you contribute to the longevity and quality of your hand-made, soy wax candle, making your experience with Bottlenose Candles truly enjoyable. Remember, with every purchase, you're also supporting Dolphin Research Australia.

Q: How should I prepare my Bottlenose Candle before lighting to ensure the best burn quality?A: Before lighting your Bottlenose Candle, ensure that the wick is no longer than 5mm in length. This small step is crucial in preventing smoke and keeping the inside of your glass clean. Untrimmed wicks can cause smoke, leading to a darker residue inside the glass. If you notice any smoke while the candle is burning, simply extinguish the flame and trim the wick shorter before relighting. This practice not only enhances the longevity and aesthetics of your candle but also ensures a more enjoyable and cleaner burning experience. At Bottlenose Candles, we emphasize quality in every hand-made soy wax candle we produce, and following these simple tips will help maintain that quality throughout the life of your candle. Additionally, with every purchase, you're supporting Dolphin Research Australia, combining a delightful sensory experience with a meaningful cause.

Q: Why should I choose soy wax candles from Bottlenose Candles over other types of candles?A: Choosing soy wax candles from Bottlenose Candles offers several significant benefits. Firstly, soy wax is completely natural and derived from environmentally friendly sources. Unlike paraffin wax, which is a byproduct of petroleum, soy wax burns cooler, effectively extending the burning time of your candle. This means you get more value and longer enjoyment from your purchase. Additionally, soy wax is non-toxic and non-carcinogenic, making it a safer option for both your health and the environment. By choosing Bottlenose Candles, not only are you opting for high-quality, hand-made products, but you are also supporting sustainability and environmental conservation efforts. Moreover, with every sale, we donate to Dolphin Research Australia, making your purchase even more impactful.

Q: What makes Bottlenose Candles' soy wax candles a better choice compared to paraffin candles?A: Bottlenose Candles' soy wax candles are a superior choice for several reasons. Firstly, soy wax releases fragrance naturally and for a longer duration, providing a consistent aromatic experience. These candles can last 25-50% longer than paraffin candles, making them a more economical option. Additionally, soy wax is eco-friendly; after your candle has burned down, you can easily wash out the jars with hot, soapy water, allowing the jars to be recycled. Beyond the practical benefits, purchasing from Bottlenose Candles also supports a noble cause, as every sale contributes to Dolphin Research Australia, aligning your love for quality candles with a positive environmental impact.
