QUESTIONS

How should I use and maintain a wood wick?We use non-toxic, eco-friendly wood wicks from FSC-certified mills. When lighting, tilt the candle and light the wick on either side. After each burn, trim the wick to 5mm. If the wick won't light, trim off any charred portions once the candle is fully cooled. Allow the wax melt pool to reach the edge of the vessel (2-4 hours) before extinguishing to prevent tunneling. If the wick gets too hot, let it cool completely before trimming. Never touch the wick or wax while hot.

How should I use and maintain a cotton wick?We use lead and zinc-free cotton wicks. Trim your cotton wick to 1/4 inch before each burn. Use candle wick trimmers to maintain this length before relighting. If the wick is too tall, the flame may flicker or produce soot. Proper maintenance ensures better performance and longevity. Allow the wax melt pool to reach the edge of the vessel (2-4 hours) before extinguishing to prevent tunneling.

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 should I burn my candle each time?Burn your candle for 2-4 hours at a time. Ensure the upper wax layer melts completely across the surface to avoid tunneling. Wax has a 'memory,' so achieving a full melt pool is crucial for optimal performance. Keep the wax pool free of debris, use a proper holder, and never burn for more than four hours. Stop burning when 1/2 inch of wax remains. Always burn within sight and keep away from children, pets, and flammable objects. Never leave a burning 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.
