The Candles
What are your candles made of?
We use locally sourced all-natural soy wax and lead-free cotton wicks. Our premium fragrance oils are phthalate-free, vegan, and cruelty-free. We follow IFRA (International Fragrance Association) guidelines which is the fragrance industry standard to keep scented products safe for use.
How do I get the best burn?
The first burn sets the tone for the rest of the candle’s life. Let the wax pool all the way to the edges. Our wax is designed to burn slowly so this may take 3-4 hours. Trim the wick to about ¼" before each lighting. Keep burn times under 4 hours, and stop once ¼" of wax remains.
For safety, always burn on a flat, heat-resistant surface, away from drafts and anything flammable. Never leave a candle unattended, and keep out of reach of children and pets.
How long will one candle last?
You can expect 40+ hours of burn time, though this varies based on burn habits and environment.
