At Scents and Suds, we take pride in our diverse range of candle collections, each crafted with distinct materials to suit their unique purposes and aesthetics. Here's a breakdown of what each of our collections is made of:

• Soy Collection: Our Soy Collection is the epitome of natural simplicity and eco-friendly choices. Each candle in this line is made from 100% soy wax, renowned for its clean, toxin-free burn. Soy wax is a renewable resource that burns longer and cleaner than traditional waxes, making it a healthier choice for both you and the environment.
• 
  
• Art Collection: The Art Collection is where creativity meets eco-consciousness. These candles are hand-poured and artistically crafted, blending soy wax with other natural waxes and ingredients. This unique combination allows for a variety of textures and styles, while still maintaining an environmentally friendly approach. Each candle in this collection is a piece of art, adding both light and aesthetic beauty to your space.
• 
  
• Legacy Collection: Our Legacy Collection is specially designed for commemorating life’s special moments. These candles use high-quality paraffin wax to ensure the best possible image transfer and clarity for personalized photographs. While different from our soy-based products, we assure you that our paraffin wax is responsibly sourced, reflecting our commitment to environmentally conscious choices within the constraints of this unique product.

At Scents and Suds, we're committed to providing you with high-quality, eco-friendly candles, no matter the collection. Each line is designed with both sustainability and customer experience in mind, ensuring that you receive a product that not only looks and smells beautiful but also aligns with environmentally conscious values.

Our candles are designed with safety in mind. However, as with any product that involves a flame, it's important to use them responsibly, especially around pets and children. Always place candles out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental burns or ingestion. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and ensure it's placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, flammable materials, and external heat sources.

The burn time for our candles varies by size. Our 8.5-ounce candles have an approximate burn time of 77 hours, while our 16-ounce candles can burn for around 144 hours. To maximize burn time, ensure you are following proper candle care and maintenance guidelines.

To ensure the best performance and safety from your candles, follow these tips:

• Trim the Wick: Before each burn, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This helps prevent soot and extends the life of your candle.
• Initial Burn: The first time you burn your candle, allow it to burn until the wax pool reaches the edges of the container. This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn.
• Maximizing Scent Throw: For the best fragrance release, burn your candle in a well-ventilated room and avoid drafts that can disturb the flame.
• Safety Measures: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep it away from things that can catch fire and out of reach of children and pets.
• Proper Extinguishing: Use a candle snuffer to extinguish the candle. This prevents hot wax from splattering and reduces smoke.

For returns, we accept products in new condition within 30 days of purchase. If the candle has been burned, we offer an exchange within the same time frame. We strive to ensure customer satisfaction with every purchase.’

Choosing the right candle depends on the size of your space and the ambiance you wish to create. For larger rooms, consider candles with stronger scents or multiple wicks to ensure the fragrance fills the space. For smaller areas, a single wick candle with a lighter scent may be sufficient. Consider the mood you want to set – calming, invigorating, or festive – and select a scent that complements it. Also, take into account any sensitivities to fragrances among household members.
