Here is a candle hack you might not have known. Our Indian Rosewood lids are thoughtfully designed to be used as a protective and stylish base for your candles, preventing heat damage to your surfaces.
A crucial candle care tip to help you recharge your soul and your candle. Always trim your candle's wick before lighting to ensure a cleaner, brighter, and longer-lasting burn.
We are often asked how our pillar candles are dripless. They are made from a harder wax with a higher melting point, which means the wax only melts right near the flame, ensuring a mess-free experience.
Dripless pillar candles have several advantages. They create less mess, burn for a longer period, and come in a wide variety of colors, making them a versatile and attractive choice for any occasion.
Our dripless pillar candles are a smart and stylish choice. Because they are less likely to drip, they won't damage your surfaces, and their longer burn time means you can enjoy them more.
About Candle Care & Tips
The secret to a cleaner, longer burn starts before you even light the wick. We always recommend trimming your cotton wick to about a quarter-inch before every use. This simple habit prevents excess soot, keeps the flame steady, and ensures the soy wax melts evenly, which prevents tunneling and gives you significantly more burn time from every jar.
Mastering the Memory Burn
When you light your candle for the first time, allow it to burn until the wax melts across the entire surface to the edges of the jar. This is called the 'memory burn.' Soy wax has a memory; if you extinguish the flame before it reaches the edge, the candle will likely tunnel on future burns, wasting wax and reducing the scent throw. Give it an hour or two on that first light, and you will notice a world of difference.
Understanding Our Dripless Technology
For those who love our pillar candles, you may wonder how they stay so neat. We use a harder wax blend with a higher melting point, specifically engineered to melt only near the flame. This keeps the wax contained, protecting your furniture from drips and ensuring a mess-free experience for your dining or coffee tables.
Giving Your Vessels a Second Life
We design our glass jars and Indian Rosewood lids to be more than just packaging. Once your candle has finished its final burn, simply scoop out any remaining wax residue with a warm cloth. Our jars make excellent desk organizers, succulent planters, or vanity catch-alls. The Rosewood lids can serve as coasters or dust covers for other small items. It is our way of ensuring that while the scent is temporary, the quality remains in your home long after the flame fades.
