What type of wax do you use?
We only use 100% Soy wax here at Eco Candle Co, not a “blend” like other companies around. We use the finest Midwest-grown soy wax which ensures a clean, even burn that is full of fragrance until the end!
What type of wicks are used?
Healthy candles don’t contain lead, so our wicks are only made with natural paper, hemp or cotton!
What should I know about your fragrances?
We only use the highest quality fragrances and essential oils to create our fragrance blends. That means no phthalates or cheap fillers. Trust us, you’ll smell the difference!

What's the best way to extinguish your candle?
The best way to extinguish a candle, especially candles with natural paper, hemp and cotton wicks like ours is to dip the wick. Use a wick dipper, pen, scissors, whatever you have handy to gently push the wick down into the molten wax from the base of the wick. Hold it for a second and then carefully bring it back up and center it. It primes the wick with wax to keep it supple and help it light easier—AND you’ll have no smoke! Please do not use the Kraft paper lids to extinguish your candle. The purpose of the lid is to keep dust out and help keep the scent in.
Are the candle jars recyclable?
We are all about upcycling here at Eco Candle Co! Empty jars make great canisters for art supplies, planters, loose change, clothespins, dog treats…the list goes on! If you don’t have any need for the jars or tea light cups, simply clean out the wax and recycle properly.
Do you offer samples?
While we do not offer free samples before you purchase, we always recommend purchasing an Assorted Tea light 10 pack if you are new to Eco Candle Co. This is a great way to sample 10 different scents before purchasing a larger size! AND free tea light samples are included in all orders so you'll have the opportunity to try a couple additional scents each time you order.
