Our candles are crafted from 100% all-natural soy wax, sourced from US-grown soybeans. They are completely free of additives, dyes, phthalates, and petroleum-based products.

We recommend the oven method:

• Turn your oven to its lowest setting, 'Keep Warm' or 100 degrees.

• Place the vessel on a baking sheet in the oven.

• Once the wax melts, remove the vessel and pour the wax into a disposal container (never pour wax down the drain).

• Remove the wick, wick clip, and sticker, then clean the vessel with soap, water, and a paper towel.

• Use rubbing alcohol to remove any adhesive residue.

This is known as wet spots, caused by shrinkage and air bubbles as some areas of the wax cool faster than others. It does not affect the candle’s performance.

This is called frosting, a natural crystallization of soy wax. It indicates the wax’s purity and does not affect candle performance.

Exposure to bright sunlight or fluorescent lights can cause natural soy wax to turn yellow. This does not affect the scent or performance of the candle.

If your candle pools unevenly, it may be due to a draft or an uneven surface. Try rotating the candle or moving it to a different, draft-free location.

Soy wax dries rougher than other waxes. This aesthetic characteristic does not impact the performance of the candle.

While soy wax is popular in massage candles, we have not tested our candles for this use and do not recommend using them on the skin.

We use eco-friendly, clean-burning, hand-crafted wooden wicks made from FSC Certified 100% natural wood from Sappy Fruit Trees, sustainably sourced in the USA. These wicks are created with a vegan, non-toxic proprietary adhesive and are untreated.

Yes, trimming the wick maximizes candle performance. Before each relight, pinch off the loose ash, or use a wooden wick trimmer, ensuring the wick is at least ⅛” above the wax.

For the best experience, burn your candle until the wax pool reaches all edges of the vessel. This prevents tunneling, which can be difficult to fix but we can help you solve if needed.

The wick is held by a metal clip at the bottom of the vessel. The clip is approximately ⅜” high, so you won’t be able to burn the candle past that point.

If your wooden wick smokes, it is likely due to insufficient trimming of the ash. Before relighting, ensure all loose ash is removed either with your finger or a wooden wick trimmer.

Wooden wicks are not ideal for outdoor use as they are more prone to extinguish in a breeze. If you plan to use your candle outdoors, let us know before we pour it, and we can adjust it to create a lantern effect.

• Place a small layer of sand at the bottom of the vessel, followed by pebbles/gravel, then fill with soil, leaving about ½” space at the top.

• Place the dust cover on the soil and cover with ⅛” of soil.

• Water thoroughly and place in a sunny spot, keeping the soil moist during germination.

Sprouts can appear in as little as 72 hours, with full maturity to bloom taking about 12-14 weeks. Following our instructions, you can expect an 80-90% germination rate.

Yes, all the flowers are safe for animals, but they are not intended for consumption. We recommend placing them out of reach to prevent pets from eating them.

We source our vessels from stoop sales, estate sales, antique stores, thrift stores, and rummage sales. Upcycling these unique finds is a key part of our eco-friendly mission, and we create fragrances that complement their design.

Absolutely! We love repurposing vessels and giving them new life! Bring clean, gently used, undamaged vessels (glass/ceramic) to our studio or any of our markets (check our Instagram page for locations).

Upcycling vessels is at the heart of our mission, and we love getting creative with them! Absolutely, you can bring in your clean, glass or ceramic vessel to our studio or weekly markets (see our Instagram for details) and we'll be happy to turn it into a special candle for you. We'll check the fit and confirm it's a good match before pouring. However, there are a few limitations to keep in mind: unglazed ceramics, very thin glassware, or an uneven bottom might not be suitable.

Our fragrances are free from carcinogens, reproductive toxins, and other potentially hazardous chemicals, ensuring a safer home fragrance experience.
