Know before you buy
This candle is designed to evoke a cozy, rustic atmosphere. It features a blend of premium fragrances and essential oils meant to capture the comforting, nostalgic feeling of being indoors during a winter storm.
To ensure an even burn and prevent soot, trim the wooden wick to about 1/8 inch before each use. Removing the charred bits from the previous burn helps the wick light easily and maintain a steady, crackling flame.
Yes, this candle is made with 100% American-grown soy wax and is completely paraffin-free. This composition results in a cleaner burn that produces less soot than traditional paraffin candles.
Absolutely. The heavy glass jar is designed to be reused. Once the wax is gone, simply clean out any remaining residue with warm, soapy water, and the jar can be used for storage or as a decorative piece.
Wooden wicks can sometimes be slightly more temperamental than cotton wicks. For the best results, light the wick across the entire width rather than just at one corner to ensure the flame catches evenly.
