How we make our candles

A short note on wax, wicks, and the small batch philosophy that shapes every pour.

How we make our candles

Everything starts with soy wax and a very simple promise: no shortcuts.

Wax

We use food-grade soy wax, poured by hand into small vessels in batches of thirty or fewer. A slower pour gives a smoother top and a cleaner burn.

Wicks

Cotton, double-braided, trimmed to quarter of an inch. It is almost embarrassing how much a good wick matters.

Scent

We blend our own fragrance oils. We test every batch for at least a week before we decide it is ready.
