The Polar Plunge Jar Candle features a beeswax construction with a fragrance profile combining zesty grapefruit and orange top notes grounded by earthy vetiver. Its cotton wick is designed for a clean, even burn, requiring an initial full melt pool to establish consistent wax memory for subsequent uses. The candle is housed in a jar placed on a heat-safe surface, with wick trimming to 1/4–1/2" recommended before each light to maintain burn quality and reduce bloom buildup.
Dive into the invigorating spirit of Polar Plunge, a beeswax travel candle inspired by the enduring tradition of the Martha's Vineyard Polar Bears. Founded in 1946 as a safe space for Black swimmers, this remarkable group gathers at Inkwell Beach on summer mornings to move, connect, and inspire. Notes of zesty grapefruit and orange are grounded by earthy vetiver, capturing the Polar Bears' essence of hope, vitality, and community with each uplifting burn. For the best burn experience, keep the following in mind: The first time you light your candle, allow it to burn until the wax pool melts all the way to the edge; for a larger candle, this may take several hours. Wax has " memory," so if it is extinguished with a partial pool, that will prevent a full, even pool from forming in the future. Trim your wick each time you light the candle, removing any " bloom" from the previous burn. We recommend lighting a wick that is 1/4-1/2" in length. Ensure that your candle is placed on a heat-safe surface. Do not allow wick trimmings, dust, or other materials to accumulate in the wax pool. To ensure safety and longevity, be sure to check the bottom of your candle for additional instructions, including details on when to discontinue use.
