Collection: Candles & Wax

Our candles are made with a coconut-soy wax blend — a natural, renewable alternative to paraffin. Coconut-soy burns cleaner and cooler than paraffin, produces significantly less soot, and holds fragrance beautifully without the need for synthetic additives. It's better for your home air quality and better for the environment than petroleum-based waxes.

Our candles are scented with either pure essential oils or phthalate-free, skin-safe fragrance oils — never with harsh synthetic fragrance compounds that contain harmful additives. We're intentional about what goes into the wax because whatever burns in your candle ends up in the air you breathe. Every scent in our candle collection is chosen with that in mind.

We use cotton wicks, which are free from lead and zinc — materials sometimes found in lower-quality wicks that can release harmful compounds when burned. Cotton wicks burn evenly and cleanly, which means a better scent throw, a more consistent melt pool, and less mushrooming or carbon buildup on the wick tip.

A few simple habits make a big difference. For your first burn, let the candle stay lit long enough for the entire surface to melt to the edges — this prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn throughout the life of the candle. Trim your wick to about 1/4 inch before each burn to prevent excessive flickering, soot, and wick mushrooming. Keep your candle away from drafts, and never burn for more than four hours at a time. Our blog post on 8 candle care tips covers everything you need to know to get the most out of every candle.

Burn time varies by candle size and how well the candle is cared for. Our 7.5 oz candles are rated for approximately 40 to 50 hours of burn time under ideal conditions — trimmed wick, no drafts, and burns kept to four hours or less at a stretch. You'll find the estimated burn time listed on each individual product page.

Absolutely - and we encourage it. Once your candle is finished, place the jar in the freezer for an hour or so and any remaining wax will contract and pop out easily. Remove the wick tab, wash the jar with warm soapy water, and you have a clean glass container ready to repurpose as a planter, a storage jar, a makeup brush holder, or whatever suits you. It's one of our favorite things about using glass vessels instead of tins.
