FAQ

What are your candles made of?

  • Pure soy wax and fragrance oil. That's it. No yucky paraffins or toxins. =)

 

Why soy wax?

  • It's non-toxic
  • Longest burn time of all waxes
  • Creates no harmful by-products when burning
  • Less likely to trigger allergies
  • 100% biodegradable

 

How long will my candle burn for?

  • 45-60 hours depending on how long your burn sessions are
  • We recommend burning in 3-4 hour increments to extend the life of your candle

 

Are the scents super strong?

  • Soy wax is less harsh on the nose due to its super clean burn, so your candle will have just enough fragrance without being annoyingly overpowering
  • Our sweet/citrus scents tend to be the strongest of the bunch
  • Book Fair is definitely the strongest candle-- it's very fragrant even if left unlit with the lid off. If sweet and strong is not your vibe, I'd opt for a warmer scent like Character Crush, Mood Reader, or Bookstagram 

 

Why does my candle look rough/bumpy at the top after it's been burned?

  • This is how you know you have a 100% soy candle! Pure soy wax will usually cool at an inconsistent rate, sometimes trapping air on the surface and cause a bumpy look
  • It's totally normal and does not effect the performance of the candle =)

 

Why don't I smell the candle immediately after I light it?

  • Pure soy candles need to melt all the way to the edges of the jar in order to start releasing their full fragrance!
  • This is why it's super important to let your candle burn for at least 3-4 hours before extinguishing each time they are lit
  • Size of the room is also a factor-- our candle size works best for smaller rooms such as an office, bedroom, or kitchen.
