🌿 Clean Candles & Spray Scents — What We Leave Out

Our products are made without: Carcinogens, Mutagens, Reproductive Toxins, Organ Toxins, Acute Toxins, Phthalates, Parabens, Sulfates, Formaldehyde, UV Inhibitors, Dyes, Petroleum, and all compounds listed under California Prop 65. They are also 100% vegan.

We use a proprietary blend of 100% sustainable soy wax. If you're allergic to soy and need Apricot Coconut candles, just leave a note at checkout—we’ll customize your order.

Our wicks are always 100% cotton.

🕯️ Triple Wick Candle Care Tips for all candles not just ours!

1. First Burn = Full Burn
Let your candle melt to the edges on the first burn (2–4 hours). This prevents tunneling and sets the stage for an even burn every time.
Important: Make sure there are no drafts, open windows, or fans nearby—triple wicks are especially sensitive to airflow and burn best in a still environment

2. Flame Flicker Fix
If the flame seems weak or flickering, check for drafts or an overly deep melt pool. Blow out the candle and gently drop a cotton ball into the center to absorb excess wax. Remove the cotton ball avoiding hot wax on fingers, relight the candle, and a full flame should return. This is especially common with candles containing high levels of vanilla or other dense fragrance oils such as pumpkins, bakery, and warm scents.

2. Trim All Three Wicks
Before each use, trim each wick to ¼ inch to keep flames steady and reduce soot.
Note: Triple wicks may not always need trimming—if the flames are strong and the wicks aren’t mushrooming, you can skip the trim.

3. Burn Time Matters
Limit each burn session to 3–4 hours. This keeps the wax pool safe and prevents overheating. Make sure all wicks are always lit to keep melt pool even.

4. Keep It Centered
If a wick drifts off-center or has bent over, gently reposition it while the wax is soft to ensure even burning.

5. Stop at ½ Inch
Discontinue use when ½ inch of wax remains to avoid heat damage to surfaces.

Candle Safety Guidelines

Keep burning candles away from children, pets, and flammable materials.
Only place candles on heat-resistant surfaces or holders. Drink coasters are not necessarily heat-resistant.
Never move a burning candle—liquid wax can cause injury or damage.
Extinguish candles when wax reaches approx. 1/4" to avoid overheating the container.
For optimal performance and burn time, follow these tips:

🕯️ Wick Candle Care Tips for all candles not just ours!

First Burn

Allow wax to melt fully to the edges to prevent tunneling.

Multiple Wicks

Light all wicks each time for an even burn.

Wick Maintenance

Trim wick to 1/4 inch before each use to prevent soot buildup.
Avoid flame contact with the sides of the vessel to prevent blackening and overheating.
If blackening occurs, extinguish, let wax set, wipe clean, and check wick length.

Scent Tips

If scent seems faint, leave the room briefly and re-enter. Drafts, fans, or open windows may affect scent flow.

General Care

Discontinue use if the candle is cracked, chipped, or damaged.
Remove any debris (e.g., wick trimmings or matches) before re-lighting.
Keep wick centered before wax cools to ensure even burning.
If wick is too short and drowning, extinguish and remove some wax with a tissue or cotton ball.
Remove any “wick blossom” before re-lighting.
Cover candles when not in use to prevent dust buildup.
Use a candle snuffer to extinguish. If unavailable, blow gently and steadily—keep hair and face away from flame.

⏳ Burn times vary due to fragrance, color, usage habits, and environment.
