Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
FAQ's
What are your candles made of?
We use all-natural soy wax and cotton wicks in every candle. Soy wax is a sustainable and eco-friendly choice.
Benefits of soy wax candles:
✔️ Clean-burning with no black soot
✔️ Longer-lasting burn time
✔️ Naturally derived and environmentally friendly
Benfits of cotton wicks:
✔️Lead and zinc free for a healthier burning experience.
Why do your candles need to cure for two weeks?
We use 100% soy wax and our candles require a curing period of two weeks. This allows the fragrance oil to fully blend with the wax, resulting in a stronger scent throw once burned.
What are your candle burn times?
Our 10 oz candles have an estimated burn time of up to 70 hours, depending on how long they are burned at a time. For best results, burn in 4-hour increments to maximize longevity.
Why does my candle have white or light spots in the wax?
Frosting is a natural characteristic of soy wax, not a flaw. It does not affect the scent, burn quality, or performance of the candle. Because soy wax is a natural product, frosting is unavoidable, but it simply highlights the authenticity of a 100% soy wax candle.
