What are Votive candle wicks made of?

Our wicks are made from 100% cotton, free of lead and heavy metals. They are clean-burning and safe for indoor use.

How often should I trim the wick?

Trim your candle wick to 1/4 inch (6 mm) before each burn to ensure a stable flame and avoid soot or mushrooming

Why does my candle produce smoke or soot?

This can happen when the wick is too long or if the candle burns in a drafty area. Always trim the wick and burn on a stable surface.

How long should I burn a candle each time?

For sculptural candles, we recommend burning no longer than 1 hour at a time to preserve shape and prevent overheating.

How can I tell if I'm buying a quality candle?

Check for clean ingredients (like non-GMO soy wax), cotton wicks, and artisan craftsmanship. Mass-produced candles often use paraffin or synthetic blends.

Are soy candles better than paraffin?

Yes. Soy wax burns cleaner, longer, and is plant-based. Paraffin is petroleum-derived and can emit toxic compounds.

Are scented candles harmful or toxic?

VOTIVE only uses phthalate-free synthetic oils or therapeutic-grade essential oils. We avoid any biohazard-labeled fragrance compounds.

What are volatile organic compounds (VOCs)?

VOCs are chemical compounds that evaporate into the air. Some candles emit harmful VOCs, but VOTIVE uses only clean-burning, low-emission ingredients.

Should I be concerned about lead in wicks?

You shouldn’t be — as long as you buy from trusted sources. VOTIVE uses lead-free, eco-certified cotton wicks in all candles.

How do I prevent tunneling in jar candles?

Allow the wax to melt to the edges on the first burn. For sculptural candles, shorter burn times and an even surface help prevent uneven melting.

Is it safe to burn Votive candles around pets?

Yes — if the ingredients are safe. All VOTIVE candles are free of paraffin, heavy metals, and toxic fragrances, making them safe for households with pets.

What is the benefit of soy wax?

Soy wax is plant-based, biodegradable, non-toxic, and burns 30–50% longer than paraffin, with less soot and cleaner air quality.

Do essential oil candles burn clean?

Yes — but only when made with pure oils. VOTIVE uses only therapeutic-grade oils and never mixes them with synthetic fragrances.

How are candles made?

Each VOTIVE candle is hand-poured in small batches using non-GMO soy wax, with artistic molds and hand-finishing to ensure sculptural quality.

What fuel types are used in candles?

VOTIVE uses only soy wax — a renewable, vegetable-based wax. We never use paraffin or palm wax.

How can I improve candle fragrance (hot throw)?

Let the candle burn long enough to form a full melt pool. Choose candles made with high-quality, phthalate-free oils for better scent projection.

Can decorative candles be safely used in bedrooms/living rooms?

Absolutely. Our sculptural candles are safe and elegant, as long as they are burned with proper care and never left unattended.

What are creative ways to display candles?

Use trays, mirrored surfaces, and natural elements like dried flowers or books to create cozy, layered spaces with sculptural candles.

What safety measures should I follow when burning candles?

Always trim the wick, keep away from drafts, place on a heat-resistant surface, and never leave a burning candle unattended.

Are flameless candles a good alternative?

They’re practical for some, but they lack the emotional ambiance and natural glow of real, clean-burning soy candles like ours.
