FAQs - SkyeLight Candles
Our candles are made with 100% soy wax derived from US-grown soybeans. Our candles are non-toxic, vegan-friendly candles with phthalate-free fragrance oils and lead-free cotton wicks, offering a clean burn with a 50+ hour burn time.
Yes, every single one. Our handmade scented candles are hand-poured in small batches in North Carolina. That means more attention to each candle and a more consistent burn from top to bottom.
Yes. We use phthalate-free fragrance oils in all of our candles, so what you're breathing in is cleaner than most big box store, big brand candles on the shelf. Our wax is also a cleaner-burning option compared to traditional paraffin.
We have a range of candle scents including woody scents like Mahogany and Teak, floral options like Jasmine and Honeysuckle, bright citrus scents like Sunkissed Brazil, and sweet treat scents, too! Browse the full candles collection to see everything available.
A few things make a big difference:
- First burn matters. Let your candle burn until the entire top layer of wax melts to the edge. This prevents tunneling and gets you the full burn time.
- Trim the wick. Keep it around 1/4 inch before each burn. Long wicks cause uneven burns and excess soot.
- Keep it away from drafts. Airflow messes with the burn and can cause the flame to flicker and the wax to melt unevenly.
- Don't burn too long at once. 2-3 hours is the sweet spot. After that, let it cool before relighting.
We use phthalate-free fragrance oils, which removes one of the more common chemical concerns. That said, we always recommend keeping candles out of reach of pets and burning in a well-ventilated space.
