Vintage candle snuffers

Want to know how to be sure that our candles are made using 100% natural vegetable wax? The natural properties of vegetable waxes means you may see imperfections on our candles - specifically something called “frosting”. This does not affect the quality of your candle and it will burn well with a strong scent.We use all-natural soy, coconut and rapeseed wax in our candles and wax melts.

Our fragrances are always phthalate-free and cruelty-free.

All ingredients are vegan, sustainable, and/or recyclable or recycled.

Candles:

Burning Instructions:Always burn candles within sightNever burn candles near flammable itemsKeep candles away from children and pets

Trim wick to 1/4″ before lighting. Keep the candle free of any foreign materials including matches and wick trimmings. Only burn the candle on a level, fire-resistant surface. Do not burn the candle for more than four hours at a time. Stop use when only 1/4″ of wax remains.

Wax melts:

How to use wax melts: add the wax melt to the upper dish of your oil burner and light a tea candle on the lower part of the burner. As the tealights warms the dish from below the aroma will be released into your room from the wax melt. Never leave a lit candle unattended, and keep away from children and pets.

Seashell candles:

These candles are designed to be ornamental, however if you wish to burn them, it is advised to place them in a bowl of sand to stabilise them and avoid them tipping as the wax melts. Never leave a candle unattended. burn on a heat-resistant surface.

Unique container candles:

Please take care not to burn these candles right to the bottom. Soy wax melts at quite a low temperature, but when the wax gets too low the naked flame may cause the vessel to crack. Never leave a candle unattended and burn on a heat-resistant surface.

Reed Diffusers:

Turn the reeds every couple of weeks to prolong the fragrance life.

Keep out of reach of pets and small childrenDo not ingest the liquidAvoid placing in areas where the bottle can be knocked over. May damage wood and porous surfaces if spilled
