The result of the Pale40 Wax process: a 4oz candle evenly balanced to throw a consistently timeless scent whether lit or without flame. The burn times are tested per batch, and time and time again, result in a 22 to 25 hour throw per candle during a 2-1/2 hour burn session. That’s a long lasting 4oz candle. If that’s not awesome enough, the wicks are never hard to cut, the soy wax melts evenly throughout the burn process, and the jars are easy to empty, clean, and reuse.
