Non-toxic candles are crafted to minimize the emissions of harmful substances and promote a healthier environment during use. Here’s a breakdown of what makes a candle non-toxic:

• Wax selection: Our non-toxic candles use natural waxes — beeswax and soy wax.
• Fragrances: Our non-toxic candles use fragrance oils that are free from harmful chemicals like phthalates. Phthalate-free fragrance oils ensure a safer aroma experience without compromising indoor air quality.

On our journey to reach perfection, the experimentation phase revealed that 100% soy wax candles fell short of our aspirations. We discovered that blending soy wax with beeswax gave us not only a longer, but a stronger burn — a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence.

A fragrance oil is a blend of essential oil and a synthetic aroma. Our fragrance oils are crafted without the inclusion of harmful phthalates, frequently found in conventional fragrances.

Our non-toxic candles are generally safer for individuals with allergies or sensitivities. Their reduced emission of pollutants sets them apart from conventional candles. It’s worth noting though that while our candles are formulated to minimize sensitivities, some individuals might still experience reactions to specific scents. For instance, someone with a coconut allergy may find our coconut-scented candles unsuitable for their sensitivities. Your comfort and well-being are at the heart of our candle experience.

Burn times vary based on the candle size and usage. However, our candles tend to burn longer due to their higher melting points.

• large candles + refills provide 55+ hours of burn time.
• small candles + refills provide 35+ hours of burn time.
• candle tins provide 22+ hours of burn time.
• wax melts provide 36+ hours of burn time per package.

The clean-burning nature of our all-natural wax blend combined with quality wicks and fragrances work to keep black soot at bay. However, it is important to regularly trim the wick and follow care guidelines. Neglecting wick maintenance may lead to an oversized flame or a “mushroomed” wick, potentially causing soot.

While we are thrilled to offer environmentally-conscious choices, recycling capabilities vary by locations. Our wax melt clamshells and candle tins might find new life in recycling systems that align with their materials. As for our small and large candle jars, they’re designed with a second act in mind. Reuse your jar more than once with our refill option. Read more about how to clean your candle jar for reuse here.

Due to the density of beeswax, our candles take a longer time to reach a full melt pool (when the melted wax reaches all the way to the jar). Give your candle time and it will eventually melt the entire top layer of wax.

• If you'd like to speed up the process to a full melt pool, carefully trim the wicks without trimming it below the wax’s surface. Trimming too low could result in extinguished flames once the wax liquifies. Once lit, delicately wrap the top of the jar with foil, allowing an opening at the top. Keep a watchful eye, it won’t take long for the foil to trap enough heat to melt the remaining wax. For video instructions, click here.
