Question 1

Are the ingredients in Mia Bella Candles all natural?

Accepted Answer

Our wax is made up of all natural materials but we do not use natural fragrances in the majority of our candles. It is our opinion that most natural fragrances and essential oils do not produce as good a scent nor last as long as synthetic scents. Most of our scents are made specifically for our alternative wax formula and in the cases where we deem that a natural scent can function at the same level as a synthetic we use a natural scent. *Note: Our main goal was to address soot concerns among "mainstream" candle buyers and their candles. We were not looking to develop a candle for the much smaller "all natural" market-place.

Question 2

Where are the candles made?

Accepted Answer

All of our candles are made at the corporate office, warehouse, and manufacturing plant located in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

Question 3

Are Mia Bella's a 100% soy candle?

Accepted Answer

Our original formula was 100% soy but we found that soy is NOT the best ingredient to develop an alternative candle. 100% soy does NOT hold enough scent to create a strong scented candle. The proprietary formula we currently use is specifically designed for our candle's needs (clean burning and also strongly scented) and is comprised of vegetables and other natural, renewable resources. Although soy has the benefits of clean burning and warm water cleanup, our blend has those benefits PLUS allows us to make the candle one of the strongest scented candles in the market!

Question 4

Are Mia Bella's wicks lead/zinc free?

Accepted Answer

The wicks are lead free and also core free (no zinc) and are made from 100% cotton. Although our wicks are considered self trimming, we still recommend that you trim the wicks to between 1/8 and 1/4 inch at all times. (Burn instructions recommend that you NEVER burn a candle continuously for more than 3 hours!)

Question 5

I've noticed some black on the jars, is that soot?

Accepted Answer

The "soot" that most people are concerned about is the "soot" that comes from using paraffin in candles (because of oily residue). All items that are burned (including alternative candles) must give off some percentages of soot. The small percentage of soot that might be seen on an alternative candle would be carbon from the wicks or because the flame has gotten too high and the wick is in need of trimming. Some fragrances also give off small amounts of soot.
