Know before you buy

No. The candle is formulated without synthetic repellents, added fragrances, dyes, or parabens. The scent comes entirely from the natural essential oil blend.
Each 9oz candle provides approximately 30 hours of burn time. For best results, ensure the wick is trimmed before each use to maintain an even burn.
While the candle is made with natural ingredients, it is always best to use caution when burning any candle around children or pets. Ensure the candle is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface and kept out of reach.
