Our candles are made with 100% all natural, food-grade ingredients. The red candles are made of filtered beeswax, and pigmented with rose clay, lac resin, and hibiscus. The black candles are made of natural beeswax, and pigmented with charcoal. The tray is a pigmented stoneware. Our flat braided wicks are made of natural cotton and paper —without metal or chemical stiffeners.

A cloudy, whitish coating, known as a “bloom,” may appear on the surface of the candles or tray –this “bloom” is an indicator of high purity beeswax, and is the normal crystallization of natural oils in the wax as they rise to the surface. To revive the luster of your candles and tray, gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. Some pigments naturally fade with UV exposure –keep out of sunlight to preserve color, or burn to reveal the unfaded color within. The stonewear tray can be cleaned with a rag and hot water; it is not dishwasher-safe!

**Never leave a burning candle unattended. Fire is dangerous, and should be kept out of reach of children, pets, and flammable materials. Keep away from drafts or vibrations. Failure to follow instructions could result in fire hazard, injury, or death.** While our wicks are typically “self-trimming”, they should be minded and kept at 1/4” in length. Candle wax will be hot when candle is lit. Allow candle to cool before moving or relighting. **Burn on a heat-resistant surface.**Candles are liable to drip, and you should be prepared for any surface you place a candle on to be covered in wax. Wax should be allowed to cool before attempting to remove.
