About candles
What are your candles made of?
Our candles are made from pure soy wax.
Why soy wax? What are its benefits?
Soy wax is a natural, vegan product made from soybeans. It burns more slowly than paraffin (roughly 30% longer), diffuses scent beautifully, and is not harmful to the environment.
How long does a soy candle burn?
Burn time depends on the size: a 180 g candle burns for approximately 30–35 hours.
How to light your candle correctly the first time?
On first use, let the candle burn until the wax melts evenly across the entire surface all the way to the edges. This prevents tunnelling and ensures even burning in the future. On subsequent lightings, the wax will melt to the edges more quickly.
Why does a candle burn unevenly and form a tunnel?
A tunnel forms if the candle was burned too briefly during its first use — soy wax "remembers" its melt line. To fix this, wrap the candle in aluminium foil, leave an opening at the top, and let it burn for 2–3 hours.
How long can a candle be burned at a time?
We recommend burning your candle for no more than 4–5 hours at a time. Burning it too long overheats the wax and can weaken the scent.
Is it necessary to trim the wick?
Yes, before each use, trim the wick to 5–7 mm — or simply break it off by hand; it will snap to exactly the optimal length. This ensures an even flame, prevents soot, and extends the life of the candle. Only trim the wick when the candle has cooled.
How to store your candle properly
Store the candle in a cool place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Soy wax is sensitive to high temperatures: heat or sunlight can cause the candle to lose its shape and scent.
Is a candle suitable as a gift?
Ano — každou objednávku balíme do dárkové krabičky v ceně. Nemusíte nic dokupovat ani přebalovat, svíčka je připravená k předání.
