Every zena moon candle is created, poured and finished by hand, using a unique blend of color, essential oil derivatives and gemstones. Each element lends its unique energy to the overall intention of the candle. Because of the variety of materials used and our non-mass-produced environment (we're a small studio, not a factory) each candle's creation takes time and no two candles ever turn out exactly alike.
Wax 'n Wicks
We use the highest quality food-grade paraffin wax and 100% cotton wicks to produce beautiful candles that burn cleanly and evenly.
Scents and Crystals
Our candles contain essential oil-based scents and one or two gemstones especially chosen to empower the intent of the candle. For maximum enjoyment, our candles are NOT highly scented.
Candle Care & Safety
You and your loved ones are important to the world. We strongly encourage you to follow our candle care and safety tips listed below. As our pal Rebecca says, there are better ways to get a fireman into your bedroom than by setting your house on fire.
Candle Care
-
Burn your pillar candle one hour for every inch in diameter the first time you light it. This allows the wax pool to reach the edge of the candle, and lets the candle burn down evenly.
-
Keep candle wicks trimmed to ¼" at all times. If the flame gets much bigger than 1" high, blow it out and trim the wick. This ensures clean, smoke-free burning.
-
Candles need oxygen—in moderation. Avoid placing candles in drafty areas, including near heater vents or underneath ceiling fans.
-
You can keep your candles smooth and silky-looking by gently rubbing them with regular ol' nylon pantyhose.
-
Store your unused candles in a cool, dry, dark place.
-
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
-
Keep candles out of reach of children, animals and commotion.
-
Always burn candles on sturdy, non-flammable holders that are appropriate for the candle's size. We recommend candleholders that are a minimum of 1½" larger than the candle's diameter, with a slight curvature and rim.
-
Never ever ever fall asleep with a candle burning. This is an extremely easy, tempting and ultimately dangerous thing to do. As soon as you start feeling the slightest bit drowsy, no matter how cozy the flame makes you feel, extinguish all burning candles.
