While burning your candles we recommend following a few care guidelines:
FIRST BURN: It is very important that you allow the candle to burn until the entire top of the candle turns into a hot wax pool. Even to the edges. Doing this prevents future tunneling.
NEVER let the entire candle turn to a hot wax pool. This causes your wicks to fall over/be too close to the glass, potentially compromising your jar for future refills.
Only let a jumbo candle burn for approximately 4-6 hours.
Always trim your wicks to ¼”-½” prior to each burn. We sell wick trimmers that will get you just the right length.
DO not set your jar on a warm surface (i.e. your stove) as this will cause your wax to melt quicker, and warm the bottom of the jar unnecessarily causing your wicks to dislodge.
Do NOT use the lid to extinguish your candle. Use a wick dipper to extinguish the flame. This results in NO smoke production. We sell wick dippers.
Never leave a candle unattended.
Keep out of reach of children.
Avoid quick changes in temperature.

Soy wax is incredibly soft. Use a spoon to scrape out any remaining wax. Use super HOT water and some dish soap. Run the water in the candle for a moment to melt any residual wax. Scrub it up with a rag and wallah!
You can peel the label off and again, a super hot water soak will have the sticky grime off in no time.

We use soy wax. It is environmentally friendly and a renewable, sustainable resource. Soy wax burns slower, meaning your candle lasts longer. Soy wax is an excellent fragrance carrier that does not require a chemical amplifier, resulting in a well balanced, true to scent candle.
All of our fragrances are phthalate free. Exposure to phthalates has been linked to endocrine disruption, reproductive abnormalities, cancer, asthma and a few other nasty things that it would be best for you to not have.
We choose no scents that have a Prop 65 warning. Prop 65 is an initiative out of California to notify citizens and label products that contain a wide range of naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals used in products that knowingly cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
MOST of our scents are completely “clean” meaning toxin-free. Our scents are free of carcinogens, mutagens, reproductive toxins, organ toxins and acute toxins.
We continue to source only the cleanest and best in scenting trending away from "fragrance." We do not use "essential oils" in our scents as many essential oils are not intended to be burned.
We use an all cotton paper wick that is free from aluminum and zinc. Cotton paper wicks burn clean and consistently producing less pollutants. Their consistent burn decreases tunneling and uneven melting, extending the life of your candle. Cotton paper wicks can burn at higher temperature increasing scent diffusion which is the ultimate priority.

Hugs from Heaven is not its own individual scent. The purpose of a Hugs from Heaven is that it evokes a special memory of the loved one who has passed. So in turn we hope you’ll pick your own special scent that will remind the recipient of their loved one.
For Grandmas/Moms: Banana Nut Bread, Cinnamon Drizzle, Wildflower, Sweet Magnolia, Buckeye Blend, Sunday Brunch
For Moms/Girlfriends: Prickly, Weekender, Boozy Pear, Cozy Mornings, Good Juju
For Grandpas/Dads/Male Friends: Moose, Ohio Blend, Lux Woods, Mountain Air
This is not its own “scent.” A “Hug from Heaven” is something that we hope reminds you of the departed and that may be different for each person. You pick one of our 16 signature scents that cover a variety of scent profiles, or an in stock seasonal scent, and we fill a jumbo candle with that scent that reminds you, or the recipient, of the loved one who has passed. If it was Grandma you want something that smells like baking, or something that smells like fresh cut flowers. If it was a father you might want something masculine. If it was a friend you might want something fruity. We have seen individuals take the candles to local florists who do beautiful flower arrangements around them.
