Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are these candles suitable for massage?
Our wooden wick coconut wax blend candles are formulated primarily for ambiance and aromatherapy. While some customers enjoy using them as massage candles, please note that they are not specifically designed for massage use. Always test a small amount of the warmed wax on your skin to ensure it is at a safe temperature and compatible with your skin type.
2. How long do these candles burn?
Each candle has an approximate burn time of 55 hours when used under proper conditions. Factors such as wick trimming, room temperature, and draft conditions can affect burn duration.
3. How can I prevent soot buildup?
To reduce soot:
- Trim the wick: Keep the wick trimmed to about 1/4 inch before each burn.
- Avoid drafts: Burn your candle in an area free from direct drafts.
- Proper burn time: Allow the candle to burn long enough each time for a full melt pool, which helps prevent tunneling and soot.
4. What makes a wooden wick candle different?
Wooden wicks provide a unique, gentle crackling sound and a warm glow. They can also help distribute heat more evenly, enhancing the overall burning experience.
5. How should I care for my candle?
- First burn: Let the candle burn until the melted wax reaches the edge of the container to avoid tunneling.
- Wick care: Trim the wick before each use to maintain a clean, even burn.
- Storage: Store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their quality.
6. Are these candles eco-friendly?
Yes, our candles are crafted using a coconut wax blend,a renewable and sustainable resource combined with wooden wicks for an eco-conscious burn experience.
7. Can I use these candles outdoors?
While our candles are best enjoyed indoors for ambiance and relaxation, they can be used outdoors in sheltered areas. However, outdoor conditions such as wind can affect the burn quality and flame stability.
8. How do I extinguish the candle safely?
It is recommended to use a candle snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax to avoid smoke and soot. Avoid blowing out the flame directly to prevent wax splatter.
9. What should I do if my candle isn’t burning evenly?
If you notice uneven burning or tunneling, allow the candle to burn until the melted wax reaches the edge of the container. This creates a uniform melt pool, which can help correct the burn pattern over time.
10. Do these candles have added fragrance?
Yes, our candles are available in several subtly scented options. The fragrances are carefully selected to complement the natural aroma of the coconut wax blend without overwhelming the senses.
