We are Grand Island Candle Company. Our candles are inspired by Western New York, the moments and memories; lifestyle and mood. We hand blend and pour all of our candles in small batches in our Grand Island candle studio using sustainably grown soy wax derived from American-grown soy beans and phthalate-free perfume oils infused with essential oils. We pride ourselves on our craftsmanship, ethical production, accessible prices, and presentation.
Plus they smell Great!!
Poured by hand in Grand Island, New York with 100% soy wax derived from American-grown soy beans. Glen Park is a 15oz double wick candle with no added dyes or chemicals, scented with essential oils and premium grade fragrance. Two lead-free cotton wicks results in 60+ hours of eco-friendly, clean burning candle enjoyment. Glen Park is a complex floral powerhouse. Delicate yet satisfyingly bold, this candle captures spring at the peak of its blossoming glory with its marriage of magnolia, peony, and freesia. Base notes of powder and wood wrap up this complex bouquet with a clean, graceful finish.
Directions:
Always trim wicks to 1/4 inch before lighting (we suggest using a wick trimmer). The first time you light your candle, let it burn for 3-4 hours to allow the melted wax to reach the edge of the container to prevent your candle from tunneling.
Candle Safety:
Follow the 2 foot rule - don't place a burning candle near clothing, books, curtains or anything flammable. Place candle holders on a stable, heat-resistant surface (candle coasters work great). Keep lit candles away from drafts, ceiling fans and any air currents. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish all candles when you leave a room or before going to sleep or if the flame gets too close to the candle holder or container. A candle should not be burned for more than four hours at a time. For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 1/4 inch of wax remains in the container.
