FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are your candles made of?
Our candles are made with natural soy wax, cotton cored wicks and phthalate-free fragrance and essential oils.
How to burn?
On the first burn, allow the melt pool to reach the edges of the container - this is the most important step! This will help to prevent tunnelling and give your candle a nice even burn. For more information, see our Candle Care Page.
Soy wax is a vegetable wax made from the oil of soybeans. Once harvested, the beans are cleaned, cracked, de-hulled, and rolled into flakes. The oil is then extracted and hydrogenated. Hydrogenation converts some of the fatty acids in the oil from unsaturated to saturated making it solid at room temperature! As a result of choosing soy, it is an eco-friendly renewable resource and clean burning! It also burns at a lower temperature, making it last much longer.
What is the burn time for your candles?
Burn time depends on many factors, however under ideal conditions and proper use, our candles will burn up to the following times:
8 oz Classic Candles: 40+ hours
8 oz Tumbler Candles: 45+ hours
Gold Travel Tins: 20+ hours
