Wooden wicks provide a wider, flatter flame that creates a soft crackling sound, adding a sensory element to your space. They also tend to burn more evenly and produce less soot than standard cotton wicks.

Yes, these candles are formulated with essential oils and botanicals rather than synthetic fragrances. They are also paraffin-free and paraben-free, making them a cleaner option for those sensitive to common candle additives.

Before each lighting, gently trim the charred edges of the wooden wick to about 1/8 to 1/4 inch. This ensures the flame stays at the right height and prevents the candle from smoking.

Soy wax is water-soluble and burns very cleanly, so it typically leaves minimal residue. Once the candle is finished, you can easily clean the glass container with warm, soapy water to repurpose it.

The candles are designed to provide a natural, inviting aroma rather than an overwhelming scent throw. Because they use essential oils, the fragrance is intended to be subtle and purifying, making them well-suited for relaxation.
