NUSOY Candles

Our NUSOY Candle Line offers a safe alternative to harmful paraffin candles. These soy candles burn cleaner and longer because they don't burn hot. They can be enjoyed by many that normally can't burn candles because of allergies and asthma. The soy wax used in the nuSoy line is derived from vegetables. It is non-toxic and all natural. It burns cleaner and cleans up with soap and water. It burns longer and releases fragrances naturally, faster and longer.

The core product of the NUSOY Soy Candle Line is the NUSOY Candle Making Kit. The kit comes with everything you need to make candles from natural soy wax, right at home! Use the kit to create and enjoy your own candles. You can even sell the candles or give them as gifts. We also offer refill kits and other products for your candle making needs.

Promote wholeness, health and well-being in your life with the Nussentials NUSOY Candle Line.

Candle Making Safety

While melting wax may seem relatively straight-forward, you can avoid accidents and enjoy the fun of candle making by carefully observing a few safety tips:

• NEVER LEAVE MELTING WAX UNATTENDED. Make it a habit to constantly monitor the temperature of your wax. If wax reaches its flash point vapors become flammable. Since the flash point of wax is typically above 300°, you’ll always be safe by never exceeding 200º.
• ALWAYS USE A WATER POT. A water pot helps distribute heat and allows for more stable temperatures. Never melt wax directly on your stove.
• AN ELECTRIC HEAT SOURCE IS RECOMMENDED. If you accidentally over heat your wax, electric heat with no open flame, is less likely to ignite. Careful temperature monitoring will ensure a safe, fun experience no matter what heat source is used to melt your wax.
• USING SAFETY GLASSES IS ADVISED. This helps prevent splatters to the eyes.
• ALWAYS USE A THERMOMETER. Use it to monitor your wax temperature.
• ALWAYS HAVE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER WITHIN REACH. Review the instructions on the fire extinguisher to familiarize yourself with proper operation. For small wax fires, use something like a pot lid to smother the fire. Never use water to extinguish a wax fire. Liquid wax behaves much the same way as oil, and therefore needs to be treated like an oil fire.

Candle Burning Safety

• Lighted candles should always be within sight. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
• Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire.
• Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets.
• Read and follow all manufacturer instructions carefully.
• Trim the wick to 1/8 inch each time before burning.
• Always use an appropriate candleholder placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
• Keep burning candles away from drafts, vents and air currents.
• Extinguish a candle if it smokes, flickers repeatedly, or the flame becomes too high. Cool, trim wick, check for drafts, and re-light.
