All of our candles are hand poured using lead-free paper core wicks, vegetable-based soy wax, essences and plant essential oils. We strive to be as environmentally friendly as possible and reduce the amount of toxins put in the air. These candles come in an 8 oz. tin for a convenient way to bring the aroma and beauty with you! Use the tin cover to put candle out. Each candle will burn approximately 35-40 hours.
