Frequently asked questions

The Rustic House candles are made with sustainable, American-raised soy wax. We also use cosmetic-grade fragrances and oils, which is ideal for people who are sensitive to fragrance. Since our candles burn so cleanly and are additive-free, they have a large and even scent throw. In other words, you will be able to smell our candles throughout a room instead of just a small area. 

It is super important to trim your wick to ¼ inch after each burn. If the wick is too long, the candle will burn too hot and quickly, wasting the wax. Plus, a long wick equals a long flame, which creates soot while the candle is burning.

Trimming the wick after each burn will keep your candle burning efficiently, and our white candle container crisp and bright. Since our candles burn so cleanly, they don’t have preservatives to prevent ashiness that may form on the container. A short wick will do the trick. 

In addition to glass candles, we offer wax melts! They are a safe, flame-free way to enjoy home fragrance. All you have to do is purchase our 2-in-1 Candle + Wax Melter with your wax melts. They may be small, but they are super concentrated! Each square lasts 48 hours.
