Frequently Asked Questions

Our candles

What are your candles made of?

Every candle is hand-poured in small batches in Pennsylvania using 100% soy wax, lead- and zinc-free cotton wicks, and premium essential and fragrance oils. They are paraffin-free, phthalate-free, and cruelty-free.

How long will my candle burn?

Burn times are approximate: up to 40 hours for a 9oz candle, up to 60 hours for a 10oz candle, and 70+ hours for a 16oz candle.

Why does my candle look a little different from the photo?

Soy wax is a natural material and every batch is poured by hand, so small variations in color and surface texture are normal. They don't affect how your candle burns or smells.

How do I get the best burn?

Trim the wick to 1/4" before each burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edge of the jar the first time you light it, and burn for no more than 4 hours at a time. See our Candle Care page for more.
