FAQ's

What makes your candles different from other "clean" candle options?

Our candles are made from 100% pure beeswax, organic hemp wicks, and scented with third-party tested, therapeutic-grade essential oils and botanical extracts. You will not find 100% beeswax with hemp wicks anywhere currently on the market (others are wax/oil mixes). We are committed to using no synthetic fragrances, paraffin, or harmful chemicals, ensuring a clean, natural burn every time.

Why can’t I smell my candle before lighting?

Here are three things to keep in mind when burning a candle scented with plant-extracts or essential oils:

1. The Container Top

If the container top isn’t metal, you may not notice the scent as strongly before lighting the candle. Don’t worry—once lit, the warmth will begin to release the aroma.

2. Give It Time

Natural candles take a little time to build up their scent. Allow the candle to burn long enough for the wax to melt to the edges of the container (this is called a full melt pool). Once it does, you’ll begin to enjoy its full fragrance.

3. Adjusting Expectations

If you’re used to fragrance oils, essential oil candles may seem more subtle at first. You can burn more than one candle in a room for a stronger scent, or simply let your nose adjust. Our candles are carefully formulated for safe, gentle scenting and will naturally fill a space—especially for those who are not accustomed to synthetic fragrances.

How do I care for my candle to ensure the best burn?

To get the most out of your candle, trim the wick to 1/8 inch before each use. This prevents excessive flickering, minimizes soot, and helps your candle burn evenly. Additionally, allow your candle to burn long enough for the wax to pool to the edges of the jar during the first burn. This helps prevent tunneling and ensures a clean, even burn throughout the life of the candle.

What is the best way to trim my wick?

Allow the Candle to Cool: Always wait for your candle to cool before trimming the wick to avoid any accidents or burns.

Use a Wick Trimmer: A precision wick trimmer is ideal for getting a clean, even cut. It’s designed to trim the wick to the right length—around 1/8 inch—and helps you avoid messy trimming.

Trim to 1/8 Inch: Trim the wick to about 1/8 inch above the wax surface before each burn. This length will promote a clean burn and prevent excess smoke or soot.

Do all of your options have essential oils?

No! We offer Unscented, Warm Vanilla and Vanilla Latte candles and wax melts, which are scented without essential oils, only botanical extracts. These candles are perfect for those who prefer a warm, cozy scent without essential oils.

Are essential oils safe for myself, my family, and my pets?

Yes, essential oils are generally safe for you, your family, and your pets when used properly. Certain oils are not recommended by some health professionals for children and pets. That said, we encourage our customers to do their own research to decide what is best for them.
