The Wixology candle line incorporates the spirit of Kentucky bourbon-based cocktails into a multifaceted product. To encourage our customers to recycle their glass, we chose high quality, old-fashioned glasses. These glasses can be reused as cocktail glasses or plain drinking glasses after the candle has been burned. All of our wax is 100% soy wax and GMO free, grown in the United States, and Kosher Certified. Additionally, they use phthalate-free fragrance oils and lead-free cotton wicks in all our products.
