      FAQs β€” Mummy Taper Candle

      What colors does this come in?

      Available in Orange, White, and Black. Select your color at checkout.

      What fragrances are available?

      Multiple phthalate-free fragrance options are available. Select your preferred scent at checkout.

      How tall is this candle?

      8.6 inches (21.9 cm) tall β€” the mummy form gives it real height and presence. Works well standing freely or as the tallest piece in a grouped Halloween display.

      Is this a functional candle or display only?

      Fully functional β€” lead-free cotton wick and 100% soy wax. Many customers also choose to display it unlit as seasonal decor.

      Does this ship gift-ready?

      Yes. All orders arrive in gift-ready packaging within 3–6 business days.

      • βœ‚οΈTrim the wickTrim the wick to 5 mm (ΒΌ inch) before every burn. A trimmed wick gives a cleaner, steadier flame and prevents soot.
      • πŸ•―οΈHolderAlways use a proper taper candle holder that fits snugly. The holder must be on a stable, heat-resistant surface and catch any wax drips.
      • 🌬️DraftsKeep away from open windows, fans, and air conditioning vents. Drafts cause uneven burning, dripping, and excess soot.
      • ⏱️Burn timeTaper candles are designed for shorter burn sessions of 1–2 hours. Extinguish before the candle burns down to within 2 cm of the holder.
      • πŸ”₯SafetyNever leave a burning candle unattended. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Extinguish completely before leaving the room.
      How do I prevent my candle from tunnelling?

      The most important step is the first burn. Let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the vessel before extinguishing β€” this sets the memory ring. If the candle tunnels from a missed first burn, a longer subsequent burn session and a candle warmer can help recover the pool.

      Why is there white powder or bloom on my candle?

      White bloom (frosting) is a completely natural characteristic of 100% soy wax. It happens when the wax recrystallises β€” especially in temperature changes. It does not affect burn quality or fragrance throw. It is actually a sign that your candle is made from natural soy, not a blend.

      My candle is producing black soot β€” what should I do?

      Soot is almost always caused by an untrimmed wick. Extinguish the candle, let it cool, and trim the wick to 5 mm before relighting. Also check for draughts β€” any air movement can cause an unsteady flame and excess carbon deposits.

      Can I burn sculptural candles or will they melt out of shape?

      Yes, they are fully functional. Sculptural candles are designed to be burned, though the form will gradually change as the wax melts. For display longevity, keep burn sessions to 1 hour. Place on a heat-resistant dish to catch any pooled wax and protect the surface beneath.

      Are Votive candles safe around pets?

      Yes. Our candles use phthalate-free fragrance oils, lead-free cotton wicks, and 100% natural soy wax β€” no paraffin, no toxins. As with any open flame, keep candles out of reach of animals and never leave burning candles unattended in rooms where pets are unsupervised.

      How long will my candle burn?

      Burn time depends on size. Small pieces (2–4 oz): 20–35 hours. Medium (6–8 oz): 40–60 hours. Large sculptures (10–14 oz): 60–100 hours. Keeping the wick trimmed and avoiding draughts will maximise burn time.
