Why isn’t my candle staying lit?
There are a few possible reasons for this. One common cause is that the wick may be too short, which can prevent the candle from staying lit. If you'd like to burn the remaining wax and get the most out of your candle, using a warmer might be a good alternative. If you're planning to burn your candle, I recommend doing so within a year of purchase. While beeswax doesn’t expire, it is a natural and organic product, and its performance may not be optimal if burned after an extended period of time.
What should I do with my vessel once the candle has burned down and the wick is gone?
All of the vessels I use are designed with longevity in mind and can be repurposed once the candle has burned down. To reuse the vessel, simply clean out any remaining wax and remove the wick. You can then enjoy it for its original purpose—such as a mug—or prepare it for a new candle, giving it a second life in your home.
What’s that gritty stuff at the bottom of my candle?
The gritty material you see is most likely rock salt, which I add to all of my container candles. This is done with intention to help clear the vessel of any negative energies as the candle burns. After numerous trials, I’ve found that the addition of salt does not affect the performance or quality of the wax in any way, ensuring a safe and enjoyable burn.
Will my molded candle make a mess as it burns?
When burned properly, your molded candle should not create a mess. Beeswax burns cleanly and evenly, leaving minimal residue. However, to ensure the best burn, it’s important to trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before lighting, as this helps prevent excessive dripping or uneven burning. Always burn your candle on a heat-resistant surface to catch any potential wax drips.
Why are your prices higher than other candles?
Beeswax is a premium material, and as such, it comes at a higher cost. One reason is its exceptional longevity—it burns much longer than other waxes. Additionally, beeswax is a more limited resource, which further drives up its price. I source only the highest-quality beeswax from reputable, sustainable suppliers to ensure the best product for you.
As a one-woman business, I am personally responsible for every aspect, from sourcing materials to creating each candle. Your purchase reflects not only the cost of the beeswax, but also the containers, molds, wicks, and shipping materials, as well as the time, skill, and care that goes into handcrafting each candle.
Why do you use beeswax as your wax base?
I’ve always cherished the calming effect of lighting a candle to create the perfect ambiance. However, during my search for a clean, safe scent, I discovered that many candles contained synthetic fragrances, which often posed potential risks to my family, pets, and myself. After conducting extensive research into these fragrances and their impact, I realized I needed to create a safer, more natural alternative. That’s when I chose beeswax.
Beeswax provides a pure, clean burn, releasing a subtle fragrance that enhances the atmosphere without overpowering it. Unlike synthetic options, beeswax creates a gentle, soothing environment while also purifying the air as it burns, making it the ideal choice for a healthier, more mindful candle experience.
What is the burn time of my candle?
On average, a beeswax candle burns for approximately 1 hour per inch of diameter. For example, a 2-inch by 2-inch beeswax candle typically provides a burn time of 4 to 5 hours. Keep in mind that burn time can vary depending on factors such as the environment and how the candle is maintained.
