• Vegan & cruelty-free

• Scented with essential oil–infused, clean fragrance oils
• Finished with a clean-burning cotton wick—no lead, no zinc, no toxins

These are not your average candles—they’re sacred tools for ritual and relaxation.

To experience your candle fully and extend its burn life, follow these care rituals:

First Burn = Set the Memory

Burn for 2–3 hours on your first light, or until the wax reaches the edges of the jar. Each time you light your candle, let the candle burn until the wax melts across the entire surface area. This prevents tunneling and helps your candle burn evenly from top to bottom.

Trim Your Wick

Always trim your wick to 1/4 inch before each burn. A trimmed wick keeps the flame steady, reduces soot, and helps your candle last longer.
Use a wick trimmer for best results.

Burn Safely & Check The Time

Always Burn your candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface, avoid drafts and keep away from fans, children, pets, curtains, or drafts.
Never leave your candle unattended and don’t burn for more than 4 hours at a time.

Storage

Keep your candles in a cool dry space and avoid sunlight that can warm and melt your candle wax unevenly.

Know When to Let Go

Stop burning when about 1/2 inch of wax remains in the jar. This prevents overheating and keeps your vessel safe. You can use a spoon to scoop out any remaining wax then wash your jar out with hot water. Once dried you can repurpose your jar.

Make It a Ritual

Before lighting, take a deep breath. Set an intention. Invite in calm, clarity, love—whatever you need. Let your candle become more than just a scent. Let it be a sacred space in your day.
