We use a Luxury blend primarily consisting of coconut wax, with a touch of soy and apricot wax. Coconut wax is organic, clean-burning, and offers longer burn times compared to paraffin wax. 

Burning your candle for 2-3 hours maximizes the candle’s lifespan and ensures an even melt pool across the vessels surface, which then prevents tunneling (candle burning down the middle and not across). 

Please use a wick cutter to trim your cotton wick to 1/4”. A small pair of scissors may also be used to cut diagonally. 

To trim a wooden wick, use a wick cutter to remove the charred portion, exposing approximately 1/4” of the wick. If you do not have a wick cutter, a nail clipper can work just as well. Alternatively, pinching off the burnt top works just as well. Please ensure that you wipe away any debris before relighting.

In order to maintain your candle, we suggest trimming the wicks and cleaning the surface top of your wax prior to relighting. When wicks aren’t being trimmed, there will be carbon build up which in turn creates soothing or black smoke. The candle will also burn hotter, in turn shortening the life of the candle. By being diligent with trimming the wick, you are helping to keep your flame at a safe and appropriate height, and this in turn extends the burn cycle of your candle. 

Wood wicks contain natural tannins which may cause discoloration. This is a normal reaction and does not affect the candle's quality.

This can be caused by a few reasons. Avoid placing your candle around drafts and windy areas. Do not place candles on tilted surfaces. Ensure that your candle is melted all the way across the surface prior to snuffing out, in order to avoid tunnelling which in turn can drown the wick. If this happens, scoop out a layer of wax to a levelled top exposing approximately 1/4” of the wick. Then relight and let melt all the way across the top. Never tilt a candle while it is still burning. 

While any lighter is suitable, we recommend using an electric lighter to avoid tilting the vessel or soot buildup on glass or concrete. If this happens, residue can be easily wiped off once the candle cools off. 

Our fragrance oils include pure essential oils specifically formulated for candles, as well as synthetic grade perfume oils. They are free of phthalates, carcinogens, and reproductive disruptors.

We use a water-based sealer free of harmful chemicals or VOCs.

We kindly advise against pouring hot water into concrete jars as it may cause cracking. Instead, scoop out unused wax with a spoon (remove the wick) and dispose of responsibly. Use warm water or a warm cloth to clean the vessel.
