Natural Bug Repellent Soy Wax Candle
Soy wax is my favorite wax for candles because it provide a clean burn and a good throw. It is also very easy to clean out of the jar when you've finished using it so it can be recycled for other uses.
I use wooden wicks because I love the way they sound and their aesthetic look and feel. They also burn the wax slower than cotton wicks. Sometimes wooden wicks can be more difficult to have remain lit. To combat this, I dip the entire wick in wax before I pour the candle. You may still have to lite the wick a few times before it takes.
For these special outdoor summer edition candles I used a bug repellent blend of essential oils: Citronella, lemongrass, and cedarwood.

BURNING INSTRUCTIONS: Trim wick (if needed) between each use. Keep candle free of any foreign materials including matches and wick trimmings. Only burn the candle on a level, fire resistant surface. Do not burn candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Stop use when only ¼’ wax remains.
