JLux candles are made with 100% renewable, eco-friendly soy wax and poured in North Carolina. I make my candles without toxic paraffins and phthalates since paraffin wax has been found to contain known carcinogens that can be emittied into the air when burned.My candles have a 40-50 hour burn time, that's plenty of time to enjoy your favorite JLux fragrances and have them fill most special places in your home or space.
