HOW LONG WILL THE CANDLES BURN?

THE BURN TIME FOR OUR 8OZ CANDLES IS APPROX 40-60 HOURS

 

WHAT DOES "IFRA CERTIFIED SAFE" SCENT MEAN?

AN IFRA (INTERNATIONAL FRAGRANCE ASSOCIATION) CERTIFIED SCENT SIGNIFIES THAT THE FRAGRANCE HAS MET STRINGENT SAFETY CRITERIA TO MINIMIZE POTENTIAL HEALTH RISKS WHEN USED AS INTENDED IN VARIOUS CONSUMER PRODUCTS. THIS INCLUDES ASSESSING POTENTIAL RISKS LIKE SKIN SENSITIZATION, IRRITATION, PHOTOTOXICITY AND OTHER HEALTH CONCERNS

 

WHY WOOD WICKS?

NOT ONLY DO WOOD WICKS MAKE THAT INCREDIBLE CRACKLING SOUND, THEY ALSO BURN SLOWER AND LONGER THAN COTTON WICK CANDLES BY UP TO 25%, GIVING YOU MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK! WOOD WICKS BURN HOTTER FOR MORE SMELL POWER (SCENT THROW), LEADING TO A MORE FRAGRANT CANDLE. WOOD WICKS HAVE NEARLY ZERO CARBON BUILDUP AND THEREFORE NO SOOT AND THEY REQUIRE LESS TRIMMING THAN A COTTON WICK

 

WHAT DOES "HAND-POURED" MEAN?

WHAT DO WE MEAN WHEN WE SAY "HAND-POURED"?  IT MEANS THAT WE MAKE CANDLES THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY.  WE TAKE THE TIME AND CARE WITH OUR OWN TWO HANDS. EVERYTHING AT BE.JOY IS DONE BY HAND - FROM THE SETTING OF THE WICK TO THE POURING OF THE WAX.  

 

HOW BIG IS THE SCENT THROW (HOW MUCH SPACE WILL THE SCENT COVER?)

THE SCENT THROW OF OUR 8 OZ CANDLES WOULD COVER TWO LARGE ROOMS.  AVERAGE CANDLES USE ABOUT A 5-6% FRAGRANCE LOAD (AMOUNT OF SCENT ADDED). THE DIFFERENCE WITH BE.JOY'S CANDLES IS THAT WE USE A 10% FRAGRANCE LOAD - THIS MEANS STRONGER SCENT AND FURTHER SCENT THROW.  IS ALSO MEANS HIGHER COSTS, BUT WE DO NOT SKIMP ON QUALITY!
