• 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.

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.

Coconut wax is made from the meat of the coconut (organic, renewable, no pesticides) and then blended with some soy which is a harder wax to give it some body and reduce bloom to create a nice creamy container candle blend.

NOTE: Our coconut wax blend has small percentage of soy wax as well. Thi sis because coconut wax on it's own is too soft. So keep this in mind when shopping coconut wax candles, they will all be blended with another wax, a lot of times paraffin!

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, see our blog post
