Candle Details

We craft these candles by hand in our single-batch studio with a natural soy wax blend made from US-grown soybeans.

Fragrance Throw

These candles are crafted with two natural cotton wicks (lead and zinc-free), which provide a slow burn that's excellent for perfuming medium to large-sized rooms and treasured spaces.

Product Integrity

All of our candles are safe for your home and free of phthalates, carcinogens, and hazard toxin groups that are included on (and are similar to) items on California's Prop 65 list.

Crafted by hand

IN LEXINGTON, KY

We craft all of our candles by hand in single and small batches. This ensures top-of-the-line quality and love that can only emit from such care.

To maximize this candle's life and quality

Before Each Use

Trim the candle's natural wicks to about 1/4" before each use. Trimming the wicks allows for a more even, consistent burn and will prevent black soot from building around the sides of your candle.

Use Time

Because we craft our candles with natural ingredients, burning them continuously for about 4 hours during use is best. Snuffing our candles after about 4 hours allows ingredients in the candle to reset themselves and remain perfectly fragrant with each use.

Natural Materials

Natural candles have a memory. So, if you're experiencing wax buildup around the sides of the container, don't worry and let it rest.

About the Wax

If you're burning the candle for about 4 hours during each use, and the wax begins to build up around the sides, keep taking care of the wicks before each use, and over time, this will sort itself out.

Wax Build Up

If you've read about our natural wax and are still experiencing buildup around the sides of your candle, chances are you're snuffing it too early with each use. Let an oil pool form entirely on the top before snuffing so the candle may start with a clean burn each use.
