How do I prepare my candle for successful burning?

Great question! Here are some easy tips for a great burn:

First, always trim your wick to 1/4 inch.

The first burn is the most important! Burn your candle for a minimum of two hours or until the melt pool reaches the edge of the jar.

Keep you candle out of reach from children, animals, or flammable materials and never leave your candle burning unattended.

If choosing to light your 5oz bubble mold, ALWAYS place mold on a plate before lighting and be sure to remove the label.

How do I clean the wax from my reusable vessel?

Scrape out as much of the leftover wax as possible and recycle the small metal wick clip at the bottom of your vessel.

Wash your vessel using hot soapy water and air dry or wipe.

Voila! a clean 8oz jar with lid or the perfect vintage cocktail or wine glass to reuse for your favourite cocktail.

I can plant my label?! What?!

That's right! all our labels are made with seeded paper from Botanical Paperworks; a woman-owned, Canadian company all about sustainability and purposeful products.

Simply remove your label from your vessel, tear into small pieces, and lay flat on in a pot with planting soil. Sprinkle the top with a light dusting of more soil, spritz with water and watch your seedlings grow!

Your planted label with sprout beautiful pollinator-friendly wildflowers with love and care.

Do you do custom scents for businesses or events?

Yes! We know how important it can be for companies or businesses to establish a custom scent (have you read our blog post?) and we are happy to chat!

email hello@feelgoodbobes.com and we can go from there to tailor a scent that suits you perfectly.

How long will my candle burn for?

Due to the nature of coconut wax, a soy/coconut blend burns for longer than a pure soy, paraffin, or other wax. Your 8oz jar will burn happily for 40+ hours.

How do you ensure the quality of the products you source?

By sourcing locally, forming relationships with our suppliers, and checking declarations for our oils, we are able to ensure Bobes products are safe and cruelty-free.

Please contact us directly if you have any questions regarding the nature of your candle.
