Cocoa butter: The perfect balance of healthy & hydration

Cocoa butter has been used by people around the world for centuries and there are still many benefits that we are not even aware of yet. It was used by indigenous people all over the world and it has since been used in many cosmetics, medicines, and beauty treatments.

Cocoa butter benefits can be found in its numerous uses. Cocoa butter is beneficial to skin and hair health as it helps to protect against dryness and flakiness. It also improves blood circulation, which can result in lower blood pressure levels.

Cocoa butter benefits can also be found in its substance composition. Cocoa butter contains antioxidants like flavonoids, nutrients like zinc, copper, magnesium, and calcium - all of which may help prevent oral cancer as well as contribute to heart health by preventing cardiovascular disease.

Cocoa butter is known for its many benefits, including its ability to reduce the signs of aging. It can also be an effective remedy for skin damage and sunburns.

The moisturizing effect of cocoa butter can help soothe dry skin, prevent stretch marks during pregnancy, or heal insect bites. It also helps in protecting your skin from the harmful effects of UV rays and environmental pollutants.

Cocoa butter is one of the best natural chemicals found in nature which makes it a perfect ingredient for healthy skin care products and cosmetics.

Soy Candles & Melts vs Store Bought Candles & Melts

We are exclusive...

At Sillage Lux, only the finest and most natural ingredients are used in our products. Other than hand curated fragrances, our candles use soy wax and not paraffin wax. Paraffin wax is used in many store bought candles. Paraffin wax produces a lot of soot and releases harmful toxins in the air due to the petroleum that is in paraffin wax. Soy wax produces little to no soot, does not release harmful toxins in the air, and contains no artificial chemicals.

The soy wax that is use in our products is 100% natural and the soybeans are grown in the United States. The wax is non-toxic and environmentally friendly. Since there are no artificial chemicals, some of our soy products may have frosting on the tops & sides, or wet spots were the wax did not full adhere to the container. Additionally, our soy products have to cure ("rest") for a period of days, in order to produce a quality product.

Candle Care & Safety

Important Information for Candle Users

When lighting your candle for the first time, allow it to burn for at least 2 hours or until the wax has melted all the way to the edge of the glass. This will create a candle “imprint” and prevent the candle from tunneling (only burning in the center of the wax). Wax has a memory, and it will always burn up to the radius of the last burn. To ensure you get the most out of your candle and increase its longevity, make sure to burn it for at least 2 hours each time.

GENERAL CARE

Always keep the wick trimmed to ¼” before each burn to ensure your candle is burning gently and to keep your wax pool free of debris
We recommend burning no longer than 3-4 hours at a time and stop burning when only ¼” of wax remains in the jar
Never leave your candles unattended! Always place away from children, pets, and drafts.
Keep your candle in a well-ventilated area when lit. Do not place under a cabinet or on a shelf. Your candle needs room to breathe!

SAFETY

Drafts can cause the flame to flicker excessively which can lead to small puffs of smoke and lead to a build-up of soot. Keep the candle away from windows to avoid.
Burning your candle for longer than 4 hours at a time can cause your candles’ flame to become too large and cause an excessive build-up of soot.
Not trimming your wick after each use can cause the wick to “mushroom”. This can cause the wick to flicker excessively and lead to soot building up as well
If your candle jar starts to show soot around the rim of the jar, use a damp cloth to wipe it off. Also, ensure the candle wick has been trimmed to ¼” and that there are no foreign objects in the wax pool.
