The wickEvery custom candle comes with a choice of cotton or wooden wick, allowing you to select the burning experience you prefer.
Two wicks, a quiet flame or a gentle crackle.
Untreated Wooden Wick
Crafted from sustainably sourced hardwood, our wooden wicks are untreated and free from chemical coatings or metal cores. Made in the USA using wood sourced from FSC-certified mills, they offer a distinctive horizontal flame and a gentle, fireplace-like crackle. Their design promotes a consistent burn while bringing a natural warmth and character to every candle.
Lead-free cotton wick
Our cotton wicks are crafted from braided natural cotton interwoven with paper fibers, free from lead, zinc, and metal cores. Designed for use with natural waxes, their self-trimming construction encourages a steady flame while helping minimize carbon buildup and smoke. They offer a classic, quiet candle-burning experience, with each wick selected to complement its vessel.
candle careA Beautiful Burn Begins With Proper Care.
A little care goes a long way. Follow these simple practices to help your candle burn evenly and enjoy it from the first light to the last.
Trim Your Wick
Before each burn, trim cotton and wood wicks to approximately ¼ inch, following the care instructions provided with your candle.
Allow an Even Melt
On the first burn, allow the wax to melt toward the edges of the vessel to help prevent tunneling. Burn for 2–4 hours at a time.
Burn With Care
Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from drafts and flammable materials. Never leave a burning candle unattended or within reach of children or pets.
Know When to Stop
Burn in a well-ventilated space, keep the wax free of debris, and discontinue use when approximately ½ inch of wax remains.
