Frequently Asked Questions
Candles
It sure is. Our candles are made from a unique blend of coconut and soy waxes.
Here is one tip that should help.
Before you light your candle:
- Be prepared to let the candle form a full melt pool. This means patiently allowing it to become liquid from edge to edge before extinguishing the flame. Candle wax has memory, it's all in how you start.

In general our 12oz candles burn for 70 hours. Our 4oz candles burn for 15 hours.
We recommend recycling it. For fun you could always upcycle it!
Some folks have done some pretty fun things with their vessels like using them as planters, pen holders, candy dishes, paper clip holders, etc.
If you do a fun upcycle don't forget to post it and tag us!
Reed Diffusers
Place reeds into the mixture to draw the solution up. As the solution is drawn into the reeds, then fragrance will begin to diffuse into the room
We recommend starting off with 8 reeds, then adding additional reeds if a stronger scent is desired. If you enjoy a strong scent, begin with 1-2 more reeds than usual.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, surfaces and furnishings.
Keep away from heat sources. Keep out of reach of children and animals. Do not consume. Wash hands thoroughly if you come in contact with the fragrance oil.
Typically they last close to 3 months.
Give those reeds a good flip and the scent should be refreshed and as good as new.
If that doesn't work it may be time to refill that diffuser. We've got refills and reed replacements that should take care of that.
