Candle Care and Questions
Each and every candle that we sell is created by our team of artisan candle makers in one of our two workshops on Vancouver Island.
We are thoughtful and intentional about every aspect of our products, from our ingredients to our packaging.
We use a blend of Garden-Grown Botanicals, Essential oils, and our own hand made Infusions and Tinctures in all of our Candles.
We blend these with natural fragrances, and clean synthetic fragrances in our Core Collection. The natural fragrances we use are plant-based aromatics that are produced using pure essential oils and aromatic isolates derived solely from natural, raw botanical sources.
We are excited to announce that we will soon be launching a Collection made entirely from 100% essential oils. Every candle we create is paraben free, phthalate free and cruelty free.
Yes! All of our packaging is made from post-consumer recycled goods, and can be recycled.
We take responsibility for our environmental impact by choosing recyclable paper materials
over plastic whenever possible, and reusable glass bottles instead of plastic.
Our packing peanuts are not styrofoam, they are made of corn and completely compostable.
We use a propriety blend of 100% natural coconut, soy and organic Cowichan Valley beeswax. The beeswax is a lovely hard wax, which allows the candle to burn longer than average. The coconut wax provides a beautiful, soft creamy surface and a lovely scent throw. The soy wax we use is certified carbon neutral, and an annually renewable resource. It is also vegan, biodegradable and 100% plant-based.
No! Definitely not. We use a a non-toxic cotton core wick in our candles. Our Wooden Wicks are 100% Natural wood from Sappy Fruit Trees sustainably sourced in the USA. They are created from wood species not listed in the CITED appendices or on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Because of our proprietary blend of waxes, our candles are the longest lasting, cleanest burning candles on the market.
We have many customer reviews raving about the extended burn time of our candles compared to all other candles on the market today!
10.5 oz candles candles burn for 80 hours, and our 14oz candles burn for over 100 hours when taken care of properly! That’s a lot of burn time.
Because of our carefully blended wax recipe, if you take care of your candle it will last for an exceptionally long time!
The first time you burn your candle, You will need to let it burn for at least 3 uninterrupted hours. This will ensure that the wax melts all the way to the edges of the jar. This is especially important for the first burn, as it creates a 'memory burn' which prevents tunnelling; ensuring you get to use all of the wax.
Allow the melt pool to reach the edges of the jar before blowing out the flame. After 3 hours, extinguish your candle.
Keep the wick centred and wax free of debris
This one is very important:
Trim the wick to ¼” before each lighting. Trimming the wick will ensure that the candle burns evenly. It will eliminate any soot or char on the wick, and prevent any smoking of the wick.
If your wick smokes when extinguished, you didn’t trim your wick enough. Try blowing it out, trimming it, and relighting.
Make sure to burn your candle on a stable, heat-safe surface away from
drafts and flammable materials. When it's burning, keep your candle in sight, away from children and pets.
During use, the glass may become warm so allow it to cool before handling it.
Absolutely! Our vessels are food-grade whiskey glasses, but they can be used for whatever you would like. Try planting a seed in yours and watching it sprout!
Our Apothecary Goods are deeply intentional and thoughtful pieces which are created and designed to last.
We created them to help others find connection. Connection to Self and Connection to Nature. We use 100% natural, pure ingredients in our products to create this connection, and our candles are created using ancient Ritual and traditional methods. We believe that everyone should experience the healing power of Nature, and we have created our pieces around this core belief.
We want to bring Ancient Ceremony and Ritual into your home in a modern, easily accessible modality. Our products are intended to help you heal and nourish your physical, emotional and mental self through Connection.
Because each gemstone is a beautiful gift from the Earth, no two will ever be exactly alike. The raw nature of the gemstones means that each one will embody a little something different from one to the next. Please keep in mind that your Gemstone may not be identical to the one in the website photo.
