Luminous Candles FAQ

Soy wax is a natural, renewable resource that burns cleaner and longer than paraffin. It produces significantly less soot, meaning your walls and air stay cleaner.

On the first burn, ensure the liquid wax reaches the very edge of the jar. This memory burn prevents a hole from forming down the middle and ensures you get the most out of your candle.

Trimming the wick to about 5mm before every light prevents the flame from getting too large, reduces smoking, and stops mushrooming at the tip.

We recommend burning for no more than 4 hours. This prevents the glass from overheating and ensures the fragrance oil doesn't burn off too quickly.

Absolutely! Once about 1cm of wax remains, stop burning. Wash the jar with warm, soapy water to remove any residue. They make beautiful plant pots, stationery holders, or tea light containers.

Yes. Our soy wax candles are 100% plant-based and we never use ingredients tested on animals.

Small white crystals (frosting) are a natural characteristic of 100% soy wax. It doesn't affect the scent or burn quality — it's actually a sign that your candle is made from pure, natural wax.

No. For safety, never leave a lit candle unattended. Always keep them within your line of sight and away from drafts, pets, and children.

Use a candle snuffer or dip the wick into the wax pool and straighten it back up. This prevents smoke and keeps the wick primed for the next light.

Most of our holders are designed for standard tea lights or dinner candles. Check the Dimensions section on each product page to ensure a perfect fit for your specific candle.
