Frequently Asked Questions
About Our Products
Our candles are made using a premium coconut & apricot wax blend, chosen for its clean burn, excellent scent throw, and smooth appearance.
We use high-quality, phthalate-free fragrance oils that are specifically formulated for candle and home fragrance use. All fragrances we use are IFRA-compliant and meet current industry safety standards.
While our fragrances are not all essential oils, fragrance oils allow us to create complex, consistent scents that perform beautifully in candles while avoiding ingredients—like phthalates—that many customers prefer to avoid.
While we focus on high-quality, responsibly sourced ingredients, no candle can be considered completely non-toxic. We avoid making absolute claims and instead prioritize phthalate-free fragrances, IFRA compliance, and proper formulation to ensure our products are safe when used as directed.
Some fragrances may contain essential oil components, but most of our scents are crafted using fragrance oils designed for optimal performance in candles. Pure essential oils alone are not always safe or effective in candle-making, which is why we use professionally formulated fragrance blends.
Candle Care & Safety
For the best and safest experience:
- Trim your wick to ¼ inch before each burn
- Allow the candle to melt fully across the surface on the first burn
- Do not burn for more than 3–4 hours at a time
- Always place candles on a heat-safe surface
- Never leave a burning candle unattended
Proper candle care helps extend the life of your candle and ensures a clean, even burn.
Trimming the wick helps:
- Reduce soot
- Prevent large flames
- Improve burn performance
- Extend candle life
A properly trimmed wick makes a noticeable difference.
Minor soot can occur due to:
- Wicks that are too long
- Drafts or air movement
- Burning longer than recommended
Keeping your wick trimmed and avoiding drafts will minimize this.
Wax Melts & Room/Linen Sprays
Yes, when used as directed. Always use wax melts in an appropriate wax warmer and never add water. Keep away from children and pets, and discontinue use if overheating occurs.
Yes — our wax melts are made with the same phthalate-free, IFRA-compliant fragrances used in our candles, allowing you to enjoy the same scents without a flame.
Our room and linen sprays are made using high-quality, phthalate-free fragrance oils blended with a professionally formulated base designed specifically for home fragrance use. All fragrances used are IFRA-compliant and meet current industry safety standards when used as directed.
Yes, our sprays are designed for light use on linens, upholstery, and fabrics. We recommend:
- Testing on a small, inconspicuous area first
- Spraying from a distance (12–18 inches)
- Allowing the fabric to dry completely before contact
Avoid over-saturating fabrics and do not spray directly onto delicate materials such as silk or leather.
Our sprays are formulated for home fragrance use and do not contain phthalates. Like most room and linen sprays, they may contain alcohol or a professional fragrance carrier to ensure proper scent dispersion and fast drying. We avoid unnecessary additives and focus on safe, effective formulations.
We recommend using room and linen sprays in well-ventilated areas and allowing the scent to dissipate before allowing pets or children into close contact with treated fabrics. As with all home fragrance products, keep sprays out of reach of children and pets and avoid direct contact with skin, eyes, or ingestion.
No. Our room and linen sprays are not intended for personal or skin use. They are formulated specifically for use in living spaces and on fabrics only.
Store sprays in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat. Always ensure the cap or sprayer is securely closed when not in use.
