Frequently Asked Questions

ABOUT OUR CANDLES

What type of wax do you use in your candles?

Our candle selection features two wax varieties: soy wax and a blend of coconut-soy wax. Both are natural, sustainable, vegan, and free from toxins.

What are soy and coconut soy candles?

Soy candles are made from soy wax, which is derived from soybean oil. They are a natural alternative to traditional paraffin candles. Coconut Soy candles are made from a blend of soy wax and coconut wax. This combination enhances the scent throw and provides a smoother, creamier texture compared to soy candles alone.

Soy and coconut soy candles burn cleaner and longer than paraffin candles, producing less soot and toxins. They are also biodegradable and renewable, making them more environmentally friendly.

CANDLE CARE

How do I care for my soy and/or coconut soy wax candles?

To ensure an even burn and maximum scent throw, trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each use and allow the candle to burn until the wax pool reaches the edges of the container. Avoid burning candles for more than 4 hours at a time and keep them away from drafts and flammable objects.

How do I light my wood wick candle?

Hold the flame to the wood wick for 5–10 seconds until it catches evenly, as wood wicks can take longer to ignite. For the first burn, you can also rub a small amount of melted wax or candle oil on the wick, this helps it catch more easily and ensures an even burn. If the wick goes out, let it cool for a few seconds and relight, it may take a few tries!

Why does my candle have a rough or uneven top after burning?

Pitting or cratering on the surface of soy and coconut soy wax candles is a common occurrence due to uneven cooling, especially in 100% wax formulations. The good news is that this aesthetic issue doesn’t compromise the burn quality or fragrance diffusion, serving as a testament to the candle’s 100% natural soy and coconut soy wax composition.

Why does my soy and/or coconut soy wax candle look frosty?

Frosting represents a distinctive natural trait found exclusively in pure soy and coconut soy candles. It’s an integral aspect of the candle experience and serves as a reliable indicator of the genuine use of all-natural soy or coconut soy wax in your candle.

SCENT & customizability

Do soy and/or coconut soy wax candles have a strong scent?

Soy and coconut soy candles can have a strong scent throw, but it ultimately depends on the fragrance oils used and the quality of the candle. Look for candles labeled with a strong scent throw for a more potent aroma.
