General FAQ’s.
The Wellness Candle® is a healing non-toxic candle like no other! Each candle infusion is crafted around a specific intention and made using a healthy blend of pure organic beeswax, organic coconut oil, therapeutic grade pure essential oils and natural crystals. Unlike soy or paraffin candles, these high integrity candles have air purifying and healing effects. When you burn your Wellness Candle®, negative ions are emitted which bind to toxins and help remove them from the air.

Yes, our beeswax, coconut oil and essential oils are 100% natural, pure, non-toxic and hypoallergenic. The Wellness Candle® burns completely clean – In fact, these candles actually help cleanse the air and your environment. You can feel safe using a Wellness Candle® anywhere in your home.
It’s important to note that most candles are not safe for your home and can aggravate allergies or lung & respiratory conditions. Paraffin candles (petroleum based) with synthetic fragrance oils, increase indoor air pollution. Recent studies have shown paraffin candles especially ones scented with synthetic fragrance oils, can increase indoor air pollution. Synthetic fragrance oils are commonly used to scent most candles (even cleaner burning soy candles) and contain phthalates to stabilize and enhance the scent. Phthalates are a common hazardous chemical known to cause harmful abnormalities, birth defects and reproductive problems.
When you burn your Wellness Candle®, negative ions are emitted which bind to toxins and help remove them from the air. The more you burn your candle the more the crystals and essential oils become infused and activated releasing their unique energetic and aromatherapeutic properties into your environment. The negative ions are drawn to positive ions, positive ions are the ions that hold onto things like dust, mold and odors; the negative ions latch on to the positive ions which are loaded with “contaminants” causing them to drop cleaning and purifying the air. A great example is that of a rainstorm, it is a negative ionic event, which is why we say the air smells so fresh after a rainstorm.
The 8oz Glass Wellness Candle® burns for about 40 hrs and the 4oz Gold Travel Tin Wellness Candle® burns for about 20 hrs.
Yes, our candles are completely non-toxic, burn clean and safe to use around your furry friends. Some pure essential oils can be dangerous to household pets, but only in their undiluted form, applied directly to skin or ingested. Our candles don’t use a high enough concentration of any essential oil for them to cause irritation to your pet. Please don’t burn your candle within reach of your pet.
Candle burning & usage
Yes, in fact we highly recommend you reuse the glass candle container. They’re dishwasher safe, very high quality and make wonderful drinking glasses. We like using them for “wellness shots” 😉
We’ve found the most effective method for cleaning the wax residue from the glass is to warm the container slightly in an oven on very low heat or in a bowl of hot water. This will soften the wax enough to remove with a butter knife. If there’s still wax residue remaining, you can turn the glass upside down on a paper towel covered cookie sheet and place in the oven on very low heat. The remaining wax will melt off. Carefully remove the cookie sheet, and with a pot holder pick up the glass and wipe out any residual warm wax with a paper towel and then wash with soap and hot water.
Yes, we have found the melted organic coconut oil, organic beeswax and pure essential oil combination to be an excellent cuticle cream and lip balm!
We call this the “initial burn”, it helps set the stage for the life of the candle. The size of the wax pool on the initial burn will pretty much be the opening from there on out. Let the candle burn until the entire top is almost liquid wax. After the initial burn it is best to let the candle burn for long stretches, this is the best way to get the most out of your candle.
We use a natural cotton “ECO” wick that is self trimming. It’s unlikely, but if the wick “mushrooms” or doesn’t self-trim, simply trim it to 1/2 of an inch before lighting again – this should resolve any issues.
Ideally your candle should be extinguished using a snuffer or by being ‘dunked’. We have beautiful gold candle snuffers available in our shop. ‘Dunking’ is the method of dipping the wick into its own pool of liquid wax using a metal tool, chopstick, or even a small stick.
You don’t need to trim your wick on the first burn. After the initial burn of 3 hours we recommend making sure the wick stays trimmed to about 1/2 inch. Note: Some of our packaging says to keep wick trimmed to 1/4th inch – this is incorrect and results in too short of a wick.
