There’s something special about lighting a candle - the soft flicker, the gentle aroma, the instant calm it brings to your space. At Joa Cosmetics, we believe every candle should do more than just smell good - it should elevate your environment, reflect your values, and care for the planet.
That’s why our scented candle collection is crafted with 100% natural soy wax, organic cotton wicks, and vegan, cruelty-free fragrances. From Earth to Air, Fire, and Citronella, each candle is hand-poured to embody the elements and transform your atmosphere.
But to truly enjoy your candle — and make it last — there’s an art to burning it the right way. Here’s how to get the most from your Joa soy candle.
Why Choose Soy Candles from Joa Cosmetics?
Soy candles are a conscious choice for cleaner living. Unlike paraffin candles, which are made from petroleum, soy wax is natural, renewable, and biodegradable.
Each Joa Cosmetics candle is:
-
Handcrafted with sustainable soy wax
-
Vegan & cruelty-free , no animal testing or by-products
-
Infused with essential oils and fine fragrance
-
Poured with care in reusable glass jars
The Best Way to Burn Your Joa Soy Candle
1. Trim the Wick Before Every Burn
Before lighting, trim your wick to about ¼ inch (6 mm). This helps prevent soot and ensures a steady, even flame.
2. Let the Wax Pool on the First Burn
Allow your candle to burn until the entire surface melts from edge to edge (usually 2–3 hours).
This helps prevent tunneling — when wax only melts down the center — and gives you the cleanest, longest burn possible.
3. Avoid Drafts
Place your candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface away from windows, fans, or air vents. Drafts cause flickering, uneven burning, and wasted wax.
4. Don’t Burn Too Long
Limit each burn to no more than 4 hours. Extinguish your candle, allow it to cool, and trim the wick before relighting.
This helps maintain wax integrity and extends candle life.
5. Stop Before the End
When only ½ inch (1.3 cm) of wax remains, it’s time to say goodbye. Burning beyond that can overheat the jar or damage surfaces.
How to Care for Your Candle Between Uses
-
Keep it clean: Dust or debris can interfere with scent throw and flame quality.
-
Store it smart: Keep your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or frosting.
-
Reuse the jar: Once finished, wash out the remaining wax with warm, soapy water and repurpose the jar for plants, brushes, or storage.
Light With Intention
Every Joa Cosmetics soy candle is designed to turn your moments into rituals, a breath of calm after a long day, a flicker of warmth during quiet mornings, or a soft glow for gatherings with loved ones.
When you burn your candle mindfully, you’re not just adding fragrance to a room, you’re creating an experience.
