Mojo FAQ

Mojo Candles are made from 100% premium soy wax.

We use premium 100% natural Soy Wax, specifically formulated for candles. It is composed of non-petroleum renewable resources and derived from natural soybean oil. Biodegradable, free from pesticides and herbicides, kosher certified and also free from any Genetically Modified Material. Our soy wax is not tested on any animals and is manufactured meeting FDA standards.

Mojo Candle wicks are made from 100% lead-free cotton.

Black residue may appear on the glass of your candle if the wick is not trimmed. Ensure the wick is always upright and trimmed to 7mm before use and each time you re-light your candle. The black residue can be removed with a napkin or wet cloth.

Some candles can look like there are little drops of water on the surface. This is called “sweating” and can happen for two different reasons. 

One reason is that it may have a slightly higher concentration of fragrance oil than usual and is expressed through the surface to release it.This actually means that more scent is permeating the air for you before you even burn it!

Another reason is that the candle has been left in direct sunlight on a high temperature day or too close to a heat source, like a heater or any appliance that creates heat. 

This is similar to when a candle burns it begins by “sweating” before creating the wax pool which increases until the entire surface of the candle has melted to release the scent.

Wax is a natural substance and can easily be affected by the fragrance added and also by the environment.

The ingredients of fragrance oils can change the creamy colour of the wax so that it creates a yellow discolouration, especially if the fragrance load ratio is high. 

Candles left in the sun can also be affected and partial areas of the surface can fade or discolour. 

Because we use 100% soy wax, you may also see some Frosting or Crystallising occur on the surface of your candle. These are the common terms for “polymorphism” and describe the white coating that can appear on soy candles. Frosting is a perfectly natural effect of using soy wax and is unique to vegetable waxes, especially soy. All soy waxes frost to some degree and it is a sign that you have purchased a 100% natural soy wax candle. 

None of these natural occurrences affect the burning of the candle so you can enjoy your candle’s ambience as you usually would.
