Candle Care Tips and FAQs

While candles produce beautiful scents and are great to look at, it's important to practice safety.

Here are some candle care tips:

  • The first burn of any candle is the most important. The first burn should be 2-3 hours long, so the top layer of the candle can melt. This ensures that the candle doesn't tunnel. Once a candle has tunneled, it reduces the amount of wax available to burn and shortens the burn time.
  • Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours. Long burns times can lead to overheated glass.
  • Trim your candles to 1/4" each time you light your candle to prevent the flame becoming too large and avoid smoking.
  • Keep the wax pool free of any debris.
  • Keep candles out of reach from children and pets and away from curtains or any flammable materials.
  • Do not leave a burning candle unattended.
  • Keep candles away from any fans, windows or air currents.
  • Allow your candle to cool for at least 2 hours between burns.
  • Store candles in a cool and dry place, with their lid on.

Here are some answers to frequently asked questions:

  • Are the candles all-natural?
    Yes, the wax is 100% natural soy and free of chemicals found in traditional paraffin waxes. The wicks are all-natural cotton as well for a clean burn. They are lead and zinc-free.

  • What is the difference between regular (paraffin) and soy wax?
    Paraffin wax is made from petroleum and is not a sustainable as it's made by removing the waxy substance from crude oil. Soy wax on the other hand, is made from extracting oil from soybeans, which are a renewable resource.
  • Do soy wax candles have longer burn times?
    Yes, soy tends to be more dense, which means it takes longer for the flame to burn through
