Louka | Scented Soy Candle

Louka | Scented Soy Candle

Imagine a warm summer evening on the terrace. The sun is slowly setting, the air is still, and you just want to hold on to that golden moment a little longer. That’s exactly why we created our large Louka candle. Hand-poured from natural soy wax into a Jesmonite bowl — available in two finishes: natural white or soft marble. Inside, seven unbleached cotton wicks provide an even, long-lasting burn.

 When you choose lavender or citronella scent, the candle also acts as a natural insect repellent — perfect for keeping mosquitoes and small bugs away.

Note: The natural white shade of the bowl is the genuine color of Jesmonite material and not a paper-like pure white. It may have a soft, warm beige undertone.

After the candle burns out, you can gently wash the bowl with warm water and reuse it as a small flower pot or decorative dish.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
+

All candles are hand-poured in South Moravia. The entire process is a beautiful one, from casting the candle to the final packaging. The candles are made from soy wax and contain no toxic materials. Minor imperfections, such as small air bubbles or slight color variations, may occur as a result of the handmade process.

Candle composition:

  • soy and coconut wax

  • unbleached cotton wicks

  • fragrance composition made from essential oils and natural fragrance oils

  • Jesmonite candle container

The candle container is made from Jesmonite, a so-called eco-resin. Jesmonite is a two-part casting material composed of a water-based acrylic liquid and a mineral base. It contains no solvents or acrylic-based VOCs, making it environmentally friendly.

Due to the nature of Jesmonite, small air bubbles and surface irregularities may occur during the production process. These minor imperfections add authenticity and originality to our handmade products. Please take this into consideration before purchasing, as each piece may vary slightly from the illustrative photographs.

All products are handmade, and it is not possible to create an identical piece to the one shown in the illustrative photos. Please expect natural color variations between individual items.

CARE & USE
+

The candles are poured into handmade containers made from eco-friendly Jesmonite, which are produced directly in our studio. In our collection, you will find candles:

  • with or without top decoration,
  • with cotton wicks or wooden wicks.

The behavior of the candle and the required care may vary slightly depending on the specific variant, so it is important to follow the instructions below.

First burn

⚠️ The first burn is crucial for proper candle performance.

Allow the candle to burn until almost the entire surface of the wax has melted, but do not overload it with excessively long burning.

⏱️ The maximum recommended burning time is 2 hours.

Burning the candle for too long during the first use may cause:

  • overheating of the container,
  • uneven wax melting,
  • impaired performance during future burns.

Cotton wick care

Before every lighting (both the first and each subsequent use), the wick must be trimmed to a length of 3–5 mm.

A properly trimmed wick:

  • ensures a calm and stable flame,
  • extends the candle’s lifespan,
  • reduces the risk of smoking and overheating of the container.

An overly long wick may cause:

  • black smoke,
  • an excessively large flame,
  • excessive wax melting.

If the wick begins to drown in the wax, it has been trimmed too short. In this case, carefully remove some wax around the wick using another object. ⚠️ The candle must not be lit or hot while doing this.

Be careful when trimming the wick – loose soot may fall into the wax and cause it to darken. This effect is caused by improper handling and cannot be considered a manufacturing defect.

Candles with top decoration

With candles that feature top decoration, please note that:

  • the wax may not melt all the way to the edge of the container,
  • wax discoloration may occur due to the pigments and decorative elements used.

These are natural characteristics of decorated candles and are not manufacturing defects. These effects do not impact the candle’s functionality or safety.
