Jill Hood Soy Wax Candles
Jill Hood Soy Wax Candles started in September 2017. She always loved having candles or wax melts burning in the house and in the summer of 2017 decided to have a look making my own candles, however after many failed attempts she booked herself and her husband onto a candle workshop to learn the fundamentals of candle making.
She did a lot of research regarding all the different types of waxes and fragrances that were available and decided that after many years of burning toxic paraffin wax candles she wanted to try candles that had no artificial ingredients added.
Jill's candles are all handmade and hand poured using soy wax and the fragrances she uses are high quality pre blended and vegan friendly. The wicks are unbleached mixed cotton and linen.
Soy wax is a vegetable wax made from the oil of soy beans. Soy’s advantage is that it will burn cleaner than other waxes and slowly which means you can enjoy your candle for 30-40% longer than a paraffin candle.
When she introduces a new fragrance she ensures that testing has been carried out to make sure that the candle does not tunnel and that the fragrance scent throw is strong enough, as soy wax is not suitable for all fragrance oils, and each fragrance oil and vessel used requires a different sized wick. It’s not one size fits all. Candle making for Jill is very therapeutic and helps her unwind.

Her therapeutic products are made with love, are full of nourishment and smell Devine. They are very helpful for babies, children and adults with sensitive skin. Extremely beneficial for conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis and many other skin issues.
