the candle I've been searching for

I’ve been searching forever for a clean, organic candle I can feel good about burning around my family & pets and I finally found it! I love the intentionality behind these candles - it's obvious there is lots of care and thought put into every element to make it a high quality product. The scent is lovely and not overpowering / synthetic, it burns evenly and for much longer than other natural candles I’ve tried, and the branding is beautiful. Each time I light this candle my home feels cozy and nurtured!

Wonderful scent!

Love the scent! It fills the room but is not overpowering or artificial. I also love the natural and organic ingredients that we can trust and enjoy. Will certainly purchase again.

Candles Reimagined - Love them!

I think they're on to something special with these clean burning, natural fragrances. Great gifts, even better for the home!

I love this candle

I love this candle. It’s the cleanest lavender scent, I’m burning it constantly and love the subtle natural beeswax with the lavender.

Perfect!

This is the best candle ever it smells perfect, and, because it is organic, it will last longer than the others. Genius!

FAQs

How long do your candles typically burn?

The 3oz tins in our collections provide approximately 20 hours of burn time, while others can burn as long as 80 or 100 hours. Natural waxes like beeswax and coconut burn more slowly and efficiently than paraffin, giving you significantly longer enjoyment from each candle.

Do your candles produce soot or black smoke when burning?

The natural wax candles in our collection produce minimal soot compared to paraffin candles. When burned properly (wick trimming as needed, burning away from drafts), they create a clean, bright flame with virtually no black smoke. The combination of organic natural waxes and cotton/linen wicks ensures a much cleaner burning experience.

Are the wicks in your candles lead-free?

Absolutely. We only select candles using cotton and linen wicks. Lead wicks were banned in the US in 2003, but we go beyond compliance by partnering with brands that carefully select natural fiber wicks that burn cleanly and safely.

Why might the scent throw vary between different candles in your collection?

The candles we source use organic essential oils and organic fragrance oils that often create a softer, more subtle scent experience compared to conventional candles with synthetic fragrances. This intentional choice results in pleasant, nuanced aromas that won't overwhelm a space. Scent throw can also vary based on the specific botanical ingredients used, the natural wax base, and environmental factors like room size and air circulation. We believe this softer approach to fragrance creates a more authentic and enjoyable sensory experience.

Do you offer gift wrapping or corporate gifting options?

Yes! While the standard packaging from our candle makers is already gift-worthy with beautiful presentation, we're happy to provide special gift wrapping upon request. The candles come in recycled and FSC-certified boxes with accents that make a thoughtful impression.

Why do some of your candles cost more than conventional candles?

The candles in our collection reflect the true cost of quality ingredients and careful craftsmanship. Natural waxes like beeswax and coconut cost significantly more than paraffin. Organic essential oils and clean fragrance oils are more expensive than synthetic alternatives. Additionally, these candles burn longer than conventional options, providing better value over time while supporting ethical sourcing practices and environmental sustainability.

How do I get the most out of my candles?
  • Trimming: these wicks are self-trimming; simply remove any excess carbon build-up before relighting
  • Minimum burn time: for best results, burn for at least 2 hours at a time
  • Maximum burn time: limit to 4 hours per session (for safety)
  • Store: keep in cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
  • Safety: burn within sight; keep away from children, pets & flammable objects
