FAQs
Products
- What type of wax do you use?
- Each of our candles is handmade with a premium coconut & apricot wax blend. This naturally rich wax produces a clean burn that will last hours longer than your favorite brands, has an unforgettable scent throw and container adhesion, and keeps its gorgeous, creamy and glossy appearance. Our candles are all cruelty-free, non-toxic and contain no lead, plastics, paraben, or phthalates.
- What type of wicks do you use?
- Consistent with our quality, we primarily utilize wood wicks made from natural, responsibly harvested soft wood in our candles. Wooden wicks are more sustainable than cotton wicks, as thousands of wicks can be attained from a single tree. They give off an amazing crackle sound that's similar to a fireplace, and burn more evenly and produce less soot from beginning to end than traditional wicks.
- There are cotton wicks in some of our available candles, but these candles are not part of our ongoing collections.
- Why should I trim the wick and only burn your candles for 4-5 hours at a time?
- These are common instructions and good practices for any candle and are meant to prolong a candle’s burn time. A longer wick creates a larger flame, a larger flame melts the wax faster, and the wax melts faster than the wick burns away. So the longer your candle burns, the larger the flame gets, causing your candle to melt faster and faster. Keeping the wick trimmed and burning 4-5 hours at a time slows everything down so you get a longer burn time. Additionally, burning your candle for 4-5 hours at a time ensures that the wax melts all the way to the edge of the container. The melted wax (not the flame) is what gives off your candle’s scent, so this will maximize your candle’s scent when lit. It will also prevent your candle from “tunneling”, or burning a hole down the center of the candle while leaving a ring of un-melted wax along the inside of the container.
