Are the candle holders safe?
All our candle holders are safe to use and tested.
Product Safety Australia regularly issues warns against combustible candle holders that ignite when exposed to heat of burning candle and pose a fire risk. These are usually cheap, plastic candle holders from overseas.
​
We test each type of a candle holder that we make by burning a candle from start to finish. For tea light candle holders we use a standard tea light candle holder and burn it until finish (approx. 5 - 6 hours). For pillar candle holders we use a 7 cm tall pillar candle holder and burn it from start to finish (>10h). We test each product at least 3 times.
​
None of our candle holders ignite (or even heat up) during usage.
Never leave burning candles unattended.
ALWAYS use a metal tea light container when burning candles in a wooden candle holder.
What are the candles made of ?
All our candles are made with 100 % Australian products: natural soy wax, lead-free cotton wicks, organic fragrance & colour products.
​
All these products are organic, vegan friendly & free of heavy metals and developed in an animal cruelty-free way.
​
All candles are entirely handmade using small batch technique, hand-poured and manually detailed. They are cured for 14 days.
​
What are the candle safety recommendations ?

​
-
