The Art of Candle Making: How We Hand-Pour Our Soy Candles and Ensure Quality Control

Candle-making is an age-old craft that has evolved over centuries, and today, it has become an art form cherished by many. At Gentle Glow, we take great pride in hand-pouring our soy candles and ensuring the highest level of quality control. In this article, we will take you behind the scenes and reveal the meticulous process that goes into creating our exquisite candles.

1. Sourcing the Finest Ingredients: The journey to creating exceptional candles begins with selecting the best materials. We exclusively use 100% natural soy wax derived from soybean oil. Soy wax burns cleaner and slower than traditional paraffin wax, resulting in a longer-lasting and more environmentally friendly candle.

Our skilled artisans pour the melted soy wax into individual containers, ensuring smooth and even distribution. Hand-pouring allows us to pay attention to every detail, resulting in candles with a personalised touch and an exquisite finish.
4. Quality Control at Every Step: Maintaining exceptional quality is at the heart of our candle-making process. We follow rigorous quality control measures at every step to ensure that each candle meets our high standards. From inspecting the fragrance oils and wicks to monitoring the temperature and pouring technique, we leave no stone unturned in our pursuit of perfection.
5. Cooling and Curing: Once the candles are poured, they are left to cool and cure. This crucial step allows the candles to settle and develop their full fragrance potential. We exercise patience and let the candles rest for an appropriate period to ensure that they deliver the best scent throw and burn performance.
6. Packaging and Presentation: We believe that the experience of a candle extends beyond its scent and burn time. At Gentle Glow, we pay great attention to packaging and presentation. Each candle is carefully inspected, labelled, and placed in a thoughtfully designed glass jar. We take pride in delivering a complete sensory experience, from when you lay eyes on our candles to when you light them.
