About My Candles

I make my candles with an all-natural soy wax, produced from American-grown soybeans, which means minimal soot buildup and a longer burn time.  

My candles are produced in my house, by me, with my family helping to sniff, smell, and hand-pour--always with a smile.

One of the greatest advantages of a soy wax candle is that it is completely renewable. The soy I purchase to make my candles has been American grown, and more than likely was in the ground less than a year ago! My eco-friendly all natural soy candles have been coupled with a lead and zinc free wick, giving you a burn that's clean and slow, with minimal soot buildup as well. 

Soy wax is a *memory* wax, so have your candle melt to the edges of the container to form a wax pool with each burning, otherwise you'll get a candle-tunneling effect. I have found burning candles in 3-4 hour time periods gives the best outcome.

Some interesting tidbits about my candles:

  • My wicks have a natural wax coating, and are lead and zinc free.

  • Natural soy wax produces a clean burn, is non-toxic, and long lasting - made with American grown soy beans.

  • My candles are phthalate free, and I use just the right amount of both fragrance and essential oils to give you a pleasant but not overpowering scent.

  • When your candle has been exhausted, you can reuse and re-purpose the jar simply by removing any leftover wax and rinsing with warm soapy water. The wick base will come off as well and any residue can further be removed easily with goo cleaners.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • While I smooth the surface of my candles after the wax has set, please allow for natural imperfections on the surface of the wax. They are minimal, if observable at all, and will 'melt away' upon burning your candle.

  • There’s a vanillan content to some of my fragrance oils. If exposed to sunlight/daylight/flourescent light, they can yellow over time. The vanillan content is stronger in some fragrance oils than in others, which is also why some will stay ivory while others yellow. I could put a UV Inhibitor into my candle wax, but that’s adding something not natural into my candles, which I don’t want to do. Don’t worry, they still burn the same way. Your best bet is to keep them out of direct sunlight.

  • Do you have your candle near a doorway or draft? Is there a ceiling fan in the room? Did you walk by your candle? Honestly, that small of a change in airflow can affect how evenly your candle burns. Have “candle faith” and simply rotate the candle 180° and the wax will even out over time.

  • At this time, I do not accept returns. If you feel your candle has been damaged during transit, contact me for replacement options.

  • Orders will ship in 1-2 business days. Pickup orders are available as soon as you receive your fulfillment email (just make sure my email address is in your safe send/receive contacts!).

  • While I used to do this, it quickly became a full-time job to clean out the vessels and reuse them. However, you can bring them to your local transfer station and they can be recycled there! *Barnstable sends their glass to Dennis, which is then crushed up and used in their asphalt!
