Conscious choice
🌍 A conscious choice for warmth and atmosphere.🌍
At To Hot To Candle, we believe that enjoying candlelight doesn't have to come at the expense of the planet. That's why we consciously choose sustainable materials that are both friendly to the environment and your well-being.
Our candles are made from 100% natural soy wax, a renewable and biodegradable resource. Unlike paraffin, which is derived from petroleum, soy wax burns cleaner, produces less soot, and lasts longer. A conscious choice for you and the world around us.
We offer candles with both wooden and cotton wicks, so you can choose the one that suits you best. A wooden wick creates a subtle crackling sound, reminiscent of a fire, while a cotton wick provides a classic, gentle flame. Both wicks are lead- and zinc-free, ensuring a clean burn without harmful substances.
Our fragrances are carefully selected and formulated using safe ingredients. This means they are produced responsibly. So you can enjoy wonderful scents that fill your home with warmth and ambiance without a care in the world.
With ToHotToCandle, you're not just choosing luxury and coziness, but also making a conscious and sustainable choice. Together, we're making the world a little more beautiful, one candle at a time.
Light up your moment, without compromise.
Burning hours
Long-lasting and cleaner enjoyment with soy wax
Our 100% natural soy wax candles not only offer an impressive burn time of up to 60 hours, but they also burn much cleaner than traditional paraffin candles. Soy wax produces little to no soot and is free of harmful substances often released by paraffin, such as benzene and toluene. These substances can be harmful to indoor air quality and your health, causing symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and respiratory irritation.
So with soy wax, you enjoy long-lasting, clean combustion without the worry of harmful chemicals. It's not only better for your health, but also environmentally conscious—a conscious choice for both you and the planet.
Experience the cleaner burn time of soy wax for yourself and order your favorite candle today!
Scents
Safe fragrance experience, without worries
Our fragrances are carefully crafted and free of parabens and phthalates . We use only high-quality fragrances that comply with international safety standards (such as IFRA).
Some natural fragrances may contain allergens, but with normal use of our candles, these are safe. So you can enjoy your favorite scent without worry.
Safe. Responsible. Deliciously fragrant.
Which scent suits your moment?
Why doesn't my candle burn evenly?
Trim the wick to 4-5mm before each use for a steady, clean flame.
Always let the candle burn long enough for the entire surface to melt, maximum 4 hours at a time.
Extinguish your candle with a snuffer or blow gently to avoid smoke and splashing wax.
Can I reuse or refill my jar?
Is your candle empty? Let the jar cool for a bit and then clean it (see tips below).
We're working on refills, sign up for the newsletter to be the first to know!
Reuse your jar as a tea light holder, plant pot or pen holder.
How do I clean my candle jar when the candle is finished?
Let the jar cool and then place it in the freezer for 30 minutes: the wax will shrink and come loose.
Or use warm water with a drop of dish soap to gently loosen any residue.
Rinse well and dry the pot completely before reuse.
