FAQs

Leveiza candles are made with a plant-based wax blend of soy, coconut, and apricot, chosen for a clean, even burn and beautiful fragrance diffusion. Our candles are paraffin-free and use fragrance oils that follow International Fragrance Association (IFRA) safety standards. The fragrances are phthalate-free, paraben-free, and free from CMR substances (carcinogens, mutagens, and reproductive toxins). Each candle features a natural cotton wick and thoughtfully sourced materials.

Our plant-based wax blend has a very light natural scent. Once fragrance oils are added, the wax remains neutral and allows the fragrance to shine.

First burn matters. Allow the candle to burn long enough for the wax to melt evenly across the surface. This helps prevent tunneling and ensures the candle burns properly over time.

Trim the wick. Before each burn, trim the wick to about ¼ inch. This helps maintain a steady flame and reduces soot.

Burn in intervals. Burn your candle for 2 to 4 hours at a time so the wax pool can form evenly.

Place on a stable surface. Always burn candles on a heat-safe, level surface away from drafts.

Keep the wax clean. Avoid letting debris such as wick trimmings fall into the melted wax.

Burn time varies depending on the candle size and how it is used. Trimming the wick before each burn and allowing the wax to melt evenly across the surface will help extend the life of the candle.

Leveiza candles are designed to create a balanced fragrance that gently fills the room without overwhelming it. Scent strength may vary depending on room size, airflow, and burn time.

For larger spaces, burning more than one candle may help distribute fragrance more evenly.

A flame that is too large usually means the wick needs trimming. Trim the wick to about ¼ inch before each burn to maintain a steady flame and reduce soot.

Tunneling occurs when the wax does not melt evenly across the surface. Allow the candle to burn long enough for the wax to reach the edges of the vessel, especially during the first burn.

Plant-based wax can naturally develop slight variations in texture as it cools. This is normal and does not affect the performance of the candle.

Yes. The materials used in our candles are cruelty-free and not tested on animals. We work with suppliers who follow the same standards.

Many of the materials used in Leveiza candles are recyclable or reusable. Our candles are poured in glass vessels that can be reused or recycled, and the paper tube packaging is recyclable. We aim to choose materials thoughtfully and encourage reuse whenever possible.

Before recycling the vessel, remove any remaining wax and the wick tab.

Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keeping the candle in its paper tube packaging helps protect the wax and preserve the fragrance.

Our candles are made with carefully selected materials and are designed to meet recognized candle safety standards, including ASTM F2417 guidelines. For safe use, burn candles on a heat-resistant surface, keep them away from drafts and flammable objects, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
