PRODUCT DETAILS


Thoughtfully Crafted for You and Those You Love

Our candles are hand-poured in micro batches using our exclusive olive oil wax blend—a renewable, non-toxic alternative that ensures a clean, long-lasting burn. Each fragrance is infused with essential oils and free from phthalates, making them safe for you, your pets, and the environment.

We use a natural cotton wick for an even, consistent flame. Cruelty-free and consciously made, these candles are more than a scent—they’re an experience of comfort and peace of mind.

Burn Time

7.5 oz — up to 55 hours

11 oz — up to 65 hours

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Keep Your Wick Trimmed

Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This helps minimize smoke, prevents flickering, and ensures a more even burn every time.

2. The First Burn Matters

For the initial use, avoid burning your candle for longer than 4 hours. It’s okay if the wax doesn’t fully melt to the edges on the first go—any leftover wax will gradually even out with future burns.

3. Burn Responsibly

Always keep your candle in sight while it’s burning. Make sure it’s placed away from anything flammable, and avoid areas with drafts or movement. Never leave a lit candle unattended.

4. Extinguish with Care

To safely put out the flame, use a candle snuffer or gently blow it out. Avoid strong puffs of air that could cause wax to splatter. Let the wax cool before touching or moving the vessel.

5. Repurpose Your Jar

Once your candle has around 1/2 inch of wax left, it’s time to retire the flame. But that doesn’t mean your jar’s journey ends—it’s designed to be reused and re-loved around your home.
