QUESTIONS

  • How do I use a wood wick?
    *We us non-toxic and eco-friendly wood wicks which are sourced from FSC-certified mills* • WHEN LIGHTING A WOOD WICK, TILT THE CANDLE WHILE LIGHTING THE WOOD WICK ON EITHER SIDE FOR EASIER LIGHTING. CAUTION WHEN ATTEMPTING TO LIGHT YOUR CANDLE THIS WAY. • COCONUT SOY WAX WILL PIT DUE TO ITS NATURAL STATE AFTER COOLING. • AFTER EACH BURN, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO TRIM THE WOODEN WICK TO 5MM WITH CANDLE WICK TRIMMERS. • IF THE WOOD WICK WILL NOT LIGHT, TRIM OFF ANY DEAD PORTION OF THE CANDLE WICK THAT WILL FLAKE OFF BY TURNING THE CANDLE UPSIDE DOWN, AND REMOVING ANY CHARRED WICK WHILE THE CANDLE IS FULLY COOLED INCLUDING THE WICK. NEVER TOUCH THE WICK OR WAX WHILE HOT!! • BEFORE EXTINGUISHING THE CANDLE FLAME, BE SURE TO ALLOW THE WAX MELT POOL 2-4 HOURS TO REACH THE EDGE OF THE VESSEL. IF EXTINGUISHED PRIOR TO THE FULL MELT POOL, THE CANDLE WAX WILL TUNNEL DURING THE NEXT BURN. • IF THE WOOD WICK GETS TOO HOT, THIS IS DUE TO THE WICK BEING TOO LONG. BLOW OUT YOUR CANDLE AND LET IT COOL COMPLETELY PRIOR TO TRIMMING THE WOOD WICK. YOU WILL KNOW WHEN THIS OCCURS DUE TO NO SCENT THROW OR BURNT SMELL.
  • How do I use a cotton wick?
    *WE USE LEAD AND ZINC FREE COTTON WICKS* TRIM YOUR COTTON WICKS TO (1/4 INCH) PRIOR TO YOUR BURN. BEFORE YOUR NEXT BURN, WE SUGGEST USING CANDLE WICK TRIMMERS TO TRIM THE COTTON WICK TO (1/4 INCH) AGAIN PRIOR TO RE-LIGHTING. IF THE COTTON WICK IS TO TALL THE FLAME WILL FLICKER CONTINUALLY OR WISPS OF SOOT CAN BE SEEN LEAVING THE FLAME PERIODICALLY. REMEMBER, A WELL MAINTAINED CANDLE MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO PERFORMANCE AND LONGEVITY EACH RELIGHT. IN DOING SO, THIS WILL ENSURE THE WICK DOESN'T EXCEED IN LENGTH WHICH WILL RESULT IN A HOTTER BURN, SOOT, AND USE UP YOUR CANDLE QUICKER THAN NORMAL. BEFORE EXTINGUISHING THE CANDLE FLAME, BE SURE TO ALLOW THE WAX MELT POOL 2-4 HOURS TO REACH THE EDGE OF THE VESSEL. IF EXTINGUISHED PRIOR TO THE FULL MELT POOL, THE CANDLE WAX WILL TUNNEL DURING THE NEXT BURN.
  • Do you use harmful chemicals?
    We strive for purity. As our scents are 100% Phthalate- Free Our scents exclude these harmful chemicals: Carcinogens: These are materials known or thought to cause cancer. Mutagens: Materials that change the DNA of a cell, harming the cell and causing diseases like cancer. Reproductive toxins: Toxins that adversely affect reproductive organs and increase the risk of birth defects. Organ toxins: These are toxins that can cause adverse effects or disease within specific bodily organs. Acute toxins: Toxins that can cause adverse effects from a single exposure. Generally, this would be accidental exposure like spillage or ingestion. "Phthalates, including but not limited to BBP, DEHP, DBP, and DEP Phthalates are esters of Phthalic acid and are used to dissolve raw materials when making fragrance oils. They have been used for decades in a myriad of pharmaceuticals, household, and industrial products.

  • What are scent notes?
    What do top notes, middle notes and base notes mean when talking about fragrance? A perfect combination of these three notes makes a fragrance lasting and appealing. Top Note - This is the initial impression the fragrance oil makes when you initially smell a candle or remove the lid. It is the most volatile, meaning it will evaporate the quickest. Middle Note - The middle note is the “heart” of the fragrance. It can take 10 to 20 minutes for the middle notes to fully develop. When you are burning a candle, the middle notes are the most prominent. Base Note - also called the “Dry Down”- The base notes are what give a candle lasting qualities. It is the scent that lingers even after the candle is extinguished.
  • How long can I burn my candle for?
    Burn your candle for up to 2-4 hours at a time. BE SURE TO NEVER BLOW OUT A CANDLE UNTIL THE UPPER WAX LAYER HAS MELTED ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE CANDLE’S SURFACE AREA. BY ACHIEVING A FULL MELT POOL, YOU WILL AVOID ENDING UP WITH WHAT IS GENERALLY REFERRED TO AS THE DREADFUL 'TUNNELING.' WAX HAS A THING WE CALL A 'MEMORY' PER BURN. THIS IS WHY IT'S CRUCIAL TO ACHIEVE A FULL MELT POOL BETWEEN 2-4 HOURS SO YOUR CANDLE CAN PERFORM UP-TO-PAR EACH RE-LIGHT. KEEP WAX POOL FREE OF DEBRIS BURN IN PROPER HOLDER DON'T BURN CANDLE FOR MORE THAN FOUR HOURS AT A TIME STOP BURNING WHEN 1/2 INCH OF WAX REMAINS. BURN WITHIN SIGHT. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN, PETS, AND THINGS THAT CATCH FIRE NEVER LEAVE ANY CANDLE UNATTENDED
  • Why should I not burn my candle for more than 4 hours?
    Power burning is the practice of burning a candle for over four hours, and we strongly advise against it. This can lead to overheating of the container, which may result in breakage, and can cause the fragrance to fade more quickly than desired. Instead of engaging in power burning, we provide our customers with expert guidance on proper candle care, highlighting the importance of trimming wicks, extinguishing the candle after four hours, and keeping it within sight while lit. This method effectively prevents overheating, manages carbon buildup on the wick, and minimizes excess smoke and soot, enhancing the overall candle experience. Once the candle has cooled for more than five hours, it is safe to relight, ensuring the longevity of your candle's burn time.
