Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, soy candles are considered 100% natural as they are made from soybean oil, a natural and renewable resource.

  • Soy candles produce minimal smoke when burned. However, trimming the wick before each use is essential to ensure a clean and smoke-free burn.

  • Yes, soy candles are vegan-friendly as they do not contain any animal-derived ingredients. They are an excellent choice for individuals following a vegan lifestyle.

  • Yes, soy candles are considered more environmentally friendly than paraffin candles. They are made from renewable resource and produce fewer toxins when burned.

  • While soy candles may be slightly more expensive than paraffin candles, their longer burn time and cleaner burn make them a cost-effective choice in the long run.

  • Yes! We take your well-being seriously. That's why we use only the highest-quality, phthalate-free fragrance oils in our candles.

  • Phthalates are a group of chemicals used in various products to make them more flexible or durable. You might find them in plastics, cosmetics, and household items.

    The concern is with specific phthalates, like DEP, which can be used in fragrances, candles, and soaps.

    Some companies claim to be "phthalate-free" but only avoid certain types, which can be misleading.

  • Unlike mass-produced candles, small-batch candles are handcrafted in much smaller quantities. This can range from a few candles at a time to a few dozen.
    Small batches allow for closer attention to detail during the entire candle-making process. This can result in a more consistent and higher-quality product.
    Small-batch candles tend to be fresher and offer a stronger and more vibrant fragrance throw because they're made in smaller quantities.

  • It depends on how many candles we make in a day. A typical “batch” is twelve; we usually make multiple batches per candle-making day. This process can take up to 8 or more hours in a single day.

    Once all of the candles have been poured, though, they will take around two weeks to cure.

    After the candles have been poured and cured, we will label everything and prepare them for you to bring home!

  • We prioritize a relaxing and hassle-free candle experience. Cotton wicks offer several advantages:

    Clean and Consistent Burn: They provide a steady, predictable flame that ensures you get the most out of your candle's fragrance and ambiance.

    Bright Light: The clean burn of cotton wicks results in a brighter flame, ideal for illuminating your space and creating a warm atmosphere.

    Lighting: Cotton wicks generally light more easily with a standard lighter. Wooden wicks may require a longer exposure to the flame to ignite.

    Maintenance: Cotton wicks require minimal trimming, while wooden wicks may need trimming more frequently to maintain a clean burn.

    Soot: Cotton wicks typically produce less soot than wooden wicks. This helps keep your candle and surrounding areas cleaner.

  • While we don't currently have a brick-and-mortar store (yet!), we're committed to making our candles accessible to you! Here are a couple of ways to experience them in person:
