Did you know that soy wax is biodegradable? It’s true! After you burn this candle (leave about ¼ inch wax in the jar towards the end of use), pour hot water into the jar to help remove the last bit of wax. Once the wax and water cool, take out wax floating on the top of the jar. (It’s okay if there are some wax beads on the side of the jar). Wash the jar and lid (dishwasher safe) and voilá! You now have a new jar to use!
