Q: Are your candle fragrances safe?
Our candles are made with pure essential oils and natural aromas. All of our candles are phthalate-free and paraben-free.
Q: Are wood-wick candles harder to light?
Wood wicks can be harder to light at the beginning which is why we add a 100% cotton wick along with the wood to make it an easy start.
Q: Why use wooden wicks instead of cotton wicks?
They are organic and offer a fabulous ambiance with their crackling sound. Wooden wicks have no carbon build-up or output and do not mushroom. Our wicks are made in the USA from Forest Stewardship Council certified wood.
Q: Why use soy wax?
Soy candles are a natural option made from vegetable oil (soybeans). Paraffin candles are made from petroleum oil. As a result, soy wax candles do not increase the CO2 level in the atmosphere as paraffin candles do. Furthermore, soy candles do not require harsh chemicals to scent them.
Q: How do I prevent my candle from tunneling?
Candles have “memory” meaning the wax will only melt as far as it did the first time you burned the candle. We suggest burning your candle until the entire top surface of your candle becomes liquid. This may take 2 to 4 hours during the first burn.

Q. Why do you sell your tea lights in metal tins?
We use metal tins because they are environmentally friendly. Once the candle is finished, the metal cup can be recycled. Our tins are popular for weddings, special events, decorative table design, company gifts, and party favors.
Q: I purchased the candle subscription but I am moving can I postpone my subscription?
Yes, you can postpone, skip, or cancel at any time provided it’s 10 business days before the delivery date so we can stop any future payment to your credit card and the order.
Q: What are your candles made out of?
Our candles are 100% pure natural soy and coconut oil blends and 100% soy and beeswax blends. Did you know that a company only has to add a small amount of soy (about 10%) and still call it a soy candle? Our candles are a blend of 100% soy and 100% pure coconut oil making our candles a clean natural burn. No harsh chemicals, lead, dye, toxins, toxic fragrance oils, or paraffin.
Q: What are the other benefits of soy candles?
– Soy candles burn 50% longer
– The scent from a soy candle emits a stronger scent aroma
– Soy candles burn cleaner
-Soy candles do not leave a soot
Paraffin candles release petro-carbon soot that stains your walls, furniture and is circulated through your air ducts. This soot, according to the American Lung Association, contains 11 documented toxins, 2 of which are known carcinogens — toluene and benzene.
Q: Are essential oils as potent an aroma as the toxic alternatives?
We believe our candles offer as strong of an aromatic experience as their counterparts without the negative health effects. Our customers tell us they love the natural aromas inspired by nature and especially enjoy not having the negative health side effects from using toxic alternatives.
Q. Why choose beeswax?
Beeswax is a byproduct of the honeybee which is a natural option. It is the only naturally occurring wax in the world. It burns brighter and longer than any other candle waxes. Beeswax candles can clean the air by emitting negative ions. Burning beeswax is ideal for those who suffer from asthma or allergies.
