Do you use sustainable practices?

All our candles are hand poured by a small business in Australia. Our products are not tested on animals, are free from Parabens, PEGS and contain no animal by-products and therefore vegan friendly.

Are your candle jars recyclable?

Yes, our glass jars are 100% recyclable. Simply wipe out with a dry paper towel while the wax is still warm (or soak it in hot water) and then hand wash it as you would any glass, with soap and water.

Can I burn all the way to the bottom?

Stop burning the candle when the wax lower than 1cm. For safety concerns, we do not recommend burning the candle all the way down to the bottom to get the very last scent from the remaining wax as the container may become too hot and the wicks may become unstable.

Why isn't my candle lighting?

Wooden wicks require a bit of maintenance and patience. It may take up 3-5 seconds more to catch fire than the traditional cotton wicks. Sometimes when wicks are too long, they may not catch fire easily. Trim the wicks properly and have another 1-2 tries will solve the problem.

Why is my print a different colour?

Filament colours might appear slightly different than what is shown due to new rolls and different manufacturers, we will endeavour to source filament as close as possible to the colour shown on the website.
