Our Products

  • How do you refill the candle?
    When you’ve burned the candle down, simply place the infinity vessel in the freezer. The wax will freeze within 30 minutes to 1 hour. Remove the infinity vessel and run a knife around the edge of the remaining wax to pop out. Replace with a refill. The wax and wick remains are both completely compostable, but it’s a good idea to confirm that your local waste management service accepts wax before adding it to the bin.
  • What is so special about this wax blend?
    Many candles still use paraffin wax, which is derived from fossil fuels. We use an natural, vegan blend of soy and apricot wax. It hold scents well, it’s clean to the touch, and most importantly, it is not environmentally destructive.
  • How long will it burn for?
    The candles and refills will burn for 40-50 hours. The best way to prolong burn time is to follow our candle care tips, so you can make the most of every moment.
  • How should I best care for my candle?
    When using the candle for the first time, let it burn for 2-3 hours until the entire top layer of wax has become liquid. This will help ensure an even burn, which extends the life of your candle. Regularly trim the wick to 1/4 inch height and center the wick after use. This ensures the flame doesn't get too high (which can emit smoke) and that the candle continues to burn evenly. Be careful not to leave a candle unattended or place a lit candle in a draught as this can not only impact how it burns, but also put your home at risk.
  • What material is the wick?
    The wick is made of 100% cotton yarn. It's a free standing wick which means there is no metal plate attached to the base, which helps reduce waste.
  • How should I dispose of the excess wax and wick?
    The wax and wick remains are both completely compostable, but it’s a good idea to confirm that your local waste management service accepts wax before adding it to the bin. You can dispose of it with other bio-based materials.
  • Is the candle vessel freezer and dishwasher safe?
    Yes! The vessel is safe to use in both the freezer and dishwasher. We do recommend that you do not leave it in the freezer for more than 1 hour at a given time. Cermaic is durable, however if left too long in extreme temperatures you do increase the risk of cracking. We also recommend that you remove any excess wax before placing it in the dishwasher.
  • Where are the candles made?
    The candle vessels were handmade by ceramicists in Portugal, including the shaping, firing and labeling. This means that each vessel is unique. The candles themselves were poured in England.
  • What should I do if my candle tunnels?
    Candles can tunnel for several reasons, namely if the candle is placed near a draught or isn't burned for long enough. If this happens wrap a piece of aluminum foil around the edges and let the candle burn until it retains an even pool of wax. Be sure not to scrape off excess wax and add it to the melting wax as this can drown the wick!
