Frequently Asked Questions
For the best and safest burn:
- Never leave a candle unattended and keep it out of reach of children, pets, and anything flammable.
- Place candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts or vibrations.
- Trim your wick to ¼ inch before each burn and keep trimmings out of the wax.
- Burn for no more than 4 hours at a time.
- On the first burn, let the candle melt across the entire surface (about as many hours as the container is wide in inches) to prevent tunneling.
These safety tips are also printed on the bottom of your candle. Enjoy your clean, beautiful burn!
All products contain plant-based natural waxes and they are all paraffin-free. All of our candles are 100% all-natural soy wax, and our wax melts are a coconut, sunflower, and soy blended wax.
Burn time varies based on the vessel, your environment, and adherence to the 4-hour burn duration limit, but as a general guide: expect 6–7 hours of burn per ounce of wax.
