FAQs
How do I properly care for my candle?
- When lighting your candle for the first time, burn for at least 2 hours to allow the top of the wax to melt completely. This will prevent tunneling!
- Always trim your wick before each use.
- Don't leave your candle burning for longer than 3 hours at a time and always burn on an even, heat safe surface.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep out of reach of flammable objects, pets, children, or anything that may catch on fire.
- Stop use when only 1/4” of wax remains. Wash tin and re-use or recycle :)
Are your candles non-toxic?
- Absolutely. That has been our mission + top priority from the beginning. We use only the highest quality fragrance oils in our candles that are tested + certified clean - free of phthalates, carcinogens, reproductive toxins + more. We use 100% pure soy wax (no paraffin!), lead free cotton wicks + FSC certified wood wicks.
What do I do if my wood wick won't stay lit?
- We absolutely love wooden wicks because they provide a unique and extra cozy candle burning experience, but they can be a bit finicky and require more maintenance than your regular cotton wicks. There are a few reasons why your wood wick might be flaming out:
- You may need to trim your wick. We recommend keeping your wick trimmed between 1/8" - 3/16". Fingernail clippers work great if you don't have a wick trimmer!
- Some wood wicks can take a few goes to get started. A few relights may be required but once lit, it should burn well!
- Since wood wicks are wider in size than cotton wicks, we recommend you light the wick all the way across, as opposed to just one end.
- Hold your lighter on the wick for about 5-8 seconds to ensure a good light.
- Yes! Our candle tins are made in the USA and 100% recyclable. Simply clean out your tin with hot water to re-use or recycle.
- We donate $1 from every sale to local non-profit animal rescues, a cause we are very passionate about. ❤️
