About your Candles
Why Coconut-Soy Wax
I chose an organic coconut and soy wax blend because I wanted a plant-based, paraffin-free foundation that reflected both the quality of my candles and my commitment to more conscious materials. Its lower melting point supports a slower, more even burn, helping each candle last longer while producing less visible soot when properly burned and maintained.
Creamy coconut wax supports beautiful fragrance diffusion, while soy wax adds stability and creates a balanced, consistent burn. Paired with carefully selected phthalate-free fragrance oils and pure cotton wicks, the result is a thoughtfully crafted candle made without paraffin, petroleum-based wax, or unnecessary fillers.
Estimated Burn Times
Every candle includes care instructions to help you achieve the highest-quality burn and aromatic throw. Burn times are approximate and may vary depending on wick maintenance, placement, and length of each burn.

Candle-Care Essentials
A wick trimmer is a small investment that can make a meaningful difference in your candle's performance. Before each burn, trim the cooled wick to approximately ¼ inch. A tall or flickering flame often means the wick is too long, which can cause soot, overheat the vessel, and consume the wax more quickly.
A rechargeable candle lighter is also helpful, particularly as the candle burns farther into the vessel. It eliminates the need for disposable matches and makes relighting your candle safer and easier.
How to Enjoy the Best Burn
-
Trim before lighting. Before every burn, trim the cooled wick to approximately ¼ inch and remove all wick trimmings or debris from the wax.
-
Establish a full melt pool. During the first burn, allow the melted wax to reach or come close to the edges of the vessel. This helps prevent tunneling.
Giving Your Vessel a Second Life
Our glass and ceramic vessels are made to last well beyond the candle itself. Once the wax is spent, a little care transforms them into beautiful everyday objects — a planter, a brush holder, a catch-all, or a bud vase.
How do you clean out your candle jars?
The easiest method is the warm-water soak:
- Pour a small amount of hot (not boiling) water into the vessel and let it sit for a few minutes. The residual wax will soften and float to the surface.
- Pour off the water and lift out the loosened wax disc with a spoon or butter knife. Wipe away any remaining residue with a paper towel.
- Repeat if needed, then move on to washing.
Alternatively, place the vessel in a 200°F (93°C) oven for 5–10 minutes on a foil-lined tray. The wax will melt and pool; carefully pour it off (never down the drain — wax can clog pipes) and wipe clean with a paper towel while still warm.
Removing lingering scent
A light scrub with a paste of baking soda and dish soap — left on for a few minutes before rinsing — is usually enough to neutralize any remaining fragrance. For stronger scents, a brief soak with a small amount of white vinegar works well.
First hand-wash after cleaning
Once the wax is fully removed, wash the vessel with warm water and dish soap as you normally would. Dry thoroughly before use. Our glazed ceramics and glass vessels are hand-wash recommended to preserve their finish over time.
Safe ways to reuse your vessel
Cleaned vessels are well-suited for non-food use: small plants or succulents, desk or vanity organizers, cotton rounds or Q-tips, dried botanicals, or a simple bud vase. Because our vessels are decorative rather than food-grade certified, we recommend keeping them out of direct food or beverage contact after candle use.
