Candle Care + Info

How can I best care for my candle?

• Always allow your wax pool to reach the edge of your vessel. I recommend burning your candle for at least one hour (no more than 4 hours) to give your candle the happiest life.

• It's best to keep your candle wick trimmed to a 1/4 inch before each burn. (helps your candle burn at a slower rate)

• Do not allow debris to inhabit your wax pool.

• Be smart about where you burn your candle. Keep it away from flammable objects and small children.

• Never leave a burning candle unattended.

How long do the candles burn?

We use a slow-burning coconut wax blend - which creates a larger wax pool (perfect for filling the air with aromas) and burns slower than paraffin or soy wax (making them last longer!)

mini jar ⋅ 4 oz ⋅ burn time 20-30 hours min

standard jar ⋅ 8 oz ⋅ burn time 40-50 hours min

large jar ⋅ 16 oz ⋅ burn time 60-70 hours min

Note: trimming the wick regularly to ¼” will help your candle burn at a slower rate.

What is coconut wax?

Coconut wax is made from the meat of the coconut (organic, renewable, no pesticides). Our coconut wax is blended with a small percentage of soy wax because coconut wax on it's own is too soft. Keep this in mind when shopping for coconut wax candles, as they will all be blended with another wax or waxes. Often times even small amounts of petroleum-based paraffin wax is used, because it a cheaper alternative. Our wax is 100% paraffin-free!

Why coconut wax?

We wanted a product that was better for the planet and safer to burn indoors. Waxes like paraffin are too toxic and other natural waxes based only with soy, just didn't fill the room up with scent like we wished. Our coconut wax blend is extremely clean burning, has amazing scent throw, as well as lets us feel good by reducing our impact on the planet. We go more in-depth about why we chose coconut wax, read our blog

What's in your fragrances?

We happily use all natural • 100% phthalate-free • skin-safe fragrance oils which are infused with pure essential oils.

Our products are non-toxic, our suppliers adhere to the strict RIFM (Research Institute for Fragrance Materials) standards regarding fragrance safety and meet CA Prop 65 standard.

Are your products really all natural?

Yes! All of our products are created with premium, plant-based waxes (coconut and soy blend) and infused with pure essential oils.

They are void of any parabens • synthetic fragrances • dyes • additives or artificial preservatives • phthalate • and cruelty-free!

Can I recycle my candle jar?

Absolutely! We do encourage you to repurpose your jar as a vessel for storage or even plants. We also will take your jar to refill them or repurpose them as candles. If you wish to recycle, we recommend cleaning out your jar first, for tips on how to clean your jar and more info on our refill and recycle program head over here
