After a long, cold and temperamental Canadian winter, and an unpredictable Canadian spring, we can finally welcome Summer at long last. One of the best methods of preparing yourself for the now warmer seasons and embracing it before it’s gone is to prepare your sense of smell. Smell is directly linked to your memory and emotions, that’s why Ebony & Ivory Candle Co. has hand crafted a collection of summer candles right here in Canada to get you ready for the warmth. These summer scented candles are made with 100% soy wax, non-toxic ingredients, and hand poured in the heart of southern Alberta. These candles are the pinnacle of small-batch Canadian craftsmanship.
Us choosing to use 100% soy wax for all of our candles wasn’t a random choice. Soy wax has a lower melting point and is cleaner than paraffin wax, which allows for less soot and smoke to be released into the atmosphere. This is beneficial especially during the summer months when windows are open to improve indoor air quality. Soy wax also burns slower and last longer which means fewer candle changes during the Summer months. Soy wax is ideal for those who are health-conscious about the products they bring to their home, especially when it influences the air around them. We use Phthalate free fragrances which means you don’t have to worry about yourself or anyone else in your home getting a headache from the fragrance. The combination of 100% soy wax and phthalate free fragrance allows for the candles to have a better scent throw, meaning more of your home will be filled with that irresistible fragrance.
