Batch 001
Welcome to Brooklyn Candle Factory.
I am excitedly typing this in hopes we have made a connection already because if you have gotten this far on our site I am confident we both share a deep love for candles. Hence our quest for the healthiest candle ever. Bringing us to my very first edition of our Signature Candle, Batch 001. This is the healthiest candle I can make so far. Meaning no toxic chemicals, and all natural ingredients.
I made Batch 001 candles for everyday use, ritual, romance, and gifts. Eco conscious, natural, simple, practical, elegant, are words I kept in mind. Our candles are also free of additional branding because I do not like stickers on my candles. They are also great smelling. We use organic essential oils only. This batch was limited to 149. Hand poured this past winter of 2022 I used the finest soy and coconut wax I could find closest to wear I live here in Brooklyn NY. I am always searching for local vendors so if you know of any, please get in touch at hello@brooklyncandlefactory.com.
This batch has a 42+ hour burn time, and come in a heavy base, reusable 11 oz glass amber or clear tumblers with a matte black tin lid. I did have a few of these candles burn for 96+ hours while testing them but I am having a tough time duplicating that candle formula which is driving me nuts of course but I am still learning, growing and improving my craft everyday. Our burn time will only get longer from here.
Our soy wax candles contain exactly 98% soy wax with 2 % vegetable oil wax and come with or without organic “ health shield” essential oils. They have hemp wicks. Cute matches and striker paper are included in a beautiful black shipping box that completes this perfect gift candle. My inspiration for this candle was clean air and better breathing. I have my mom to thank for turning me on to organic Health Shield oil from Healing Solutions. Look them up. I love them.Thanks mom.
Our coconut wax based candles contain 98% coconut wax, 2% soy wax, and also come with or without organic “ health shield” oils. I poured the same candle as above, but I used a coconut based wax because I like the way it smells. My inspiration for this was scented candles make me sick, so make me one I’d want to lick.
Batch 001 created a variety of candles unlike what I expected my first batch to be but I just let me intuition lead and was guided by the fun of pouring these candles. I never poured so many at once before. I wanted to explore different waxes, how they adhered to the glass, hot vs. cold scent throws, scent vs. no scent scents, burn times, and hemp wicks vs cotton wicks. There are many choices to make when you get into candle making. These combinations I used making Batch 001, that we now call our Signature Candle Collection, is what I consider to be the healthiest natural candle available. After all, I started this so I could burn a healthy candle and at least know exactly what my candle is made of and make my own decision from there. When you order from our shop you get to pick your own wax and or oils from our drop down menu. More choices will be coming in the future.
Thank you for choosing Brooklyn Candle Factory. I look forward to providing you a healthy and beautiful candle.
