Enjoy reading!!
Soy Wax Candle
Our soy wax is farmed and produced in europe, we use a 100% soy wax as base and only add fragrances to it.
​
Let your candle burn at least 15min to avoid tunneling. But don't be afraid if the surface of your wax doesn't melt completely. The lower you get to the bottom of your container, the warmer it'll be and the wax will catch up melting.
​
Soy wax has one really great characteristic... it is soulable with water and soap!! If you get wax stains somewhere you can just wash them off. And even better, you can wash out your empty container and reuse it for something else e.g. as a little plant pot or to store jewelry or other small items in it.
Container Candle
Our container candles are made of 100% european soy wax. They are scented and come with a beautiful wooden wick.
​
Be careful not to touch or move the candle while it is lit. The container can get very hot, place it therefore on a heat resistant surface.
Wooden Wick
Wooden wicks might need a bit longer to catch fire but they give a warm big flame.
The big advantage is that they don't need any trimming.
​
Keep the flame away from flamable materials, don't leave your burning candle unattended and keep away from children and pets.
Rapeseed Wax
Our rapeseed wax is farmed and produced in europe, we use 100% rapeseed wax with a splash of coconut oil for a smoother surface and colorants produced in Germany.
​
Rapeseed wax is very hard, it can produce a crack around the wick after extinguishing but this doesn't affect the quality of your candle. After lighting it again, the crack will get filled with liquid wax immediately.
​
Rapeseed candles don't melt completely like paraffin candles. They tunnel and the rim of the candle shouldnt be touched when warm, it's not possible to shape the wax like paraffin, it will breack off instead.
​
If you don't want to trash the leftover wax, just melt it down and reuse it. You can find tips on making your own candles further down.
Pillar Candle
Our pillar candles are made of 100% european rapeseed wax. They are unsceted but come in a variety of different colours.
​
The wax can drip while burning, to avoid this, don't touch or move your candle while it is lit.
Always place your candle on a big enough plate to catch leaking wax.
Cotton Wick
Our cotton wicks are theoreticaly self trimming, but it is always good to keep them a bit shorter and trim them to about 0,5cm after each use.
​
Please always center the wick after extinguishing your candle.
If your wick is nicely centered the candle will burn down evenly, leaving a cylinder of wax.
This wax "shell" gives off a beautiful indirect light.
​
Keep the flame away from flamable materials, don't leave your burning candle unattended and keep away from children and pets.
