Proper candle care means that your candle should not be lit for more than three to four hours at a time and should only be relit after the wax has rehardened. In between uses, your wick should be trimmed about 1/4 of an inch. As always, keep your lit candle within sight, on a flat surface, away from flammable objects, away from drafts and away from children and animals. Please see our Candle Care page for more information.

Our scented sandles are made with virgin coconut soy wax. This wax is a vegan blend of coconut, natural soy and a teeny-tiny bit of highly refined food-grade parrafin wax. This wax is gluten free, paraben free, phthalatee free and paraben free. This helps the candle to have a clean and slow burn with a strong smell.

It's simple. Every couple of weeks switch the dry side of the reeds into the jar for maximize the scent. Please do this with caution as the diffuser liquid can stain certain materials.

The sprays are only safe to use on linen and as an air freshener.
