🖤 Why Everyone Loves It
Our Soy Candle is made using a natural Soy Wax Blend, blended with premium fragrance oils and essential oils for a full, even fragrance release. The result is a candle that burns cleanly, forming a soft, even wax pool that maximises scent and longevity.
Each candle jar is crafted with a tin — making it a sustainable choice that looks as good as it smells. Designed for long, slow evenings, this candle offers a gentle musky scent that never overpowers.

🖤 Candle Care Tips
Trim the Wick:
Always trim the wick to about 5mm (¼ inch) before every burn to avoid soot and ensure a clean, even flame.
This prevents the wick from becoming too long, which can cause smoking or uneven burning.
First Burn Matters:
Allow the candle to melt across the entire surface on the first burn to avoid tunneling. This usually takes 2-3 hours.
This ensures an even burn and maximizes the candle's lifespan.
Avoid Drafts:
Keep your candle away from open windows, fans, or air conditioners to prevent uneven burning, flickering, or soot.
Drafts can cause the flame to dance and burn the wax unevenly.
Burn Time:
Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Let the wax cool before relighting it.
This helps preserve the fragrance and prevents the jar from overheating.
Safety First:
Always place your candle on a heat-resistant surface and never leave it unattended.
Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
Extinguishing the Candle:
Use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax to extinguish the flame, then straighten it again. Avoid blowing it out to prevent soot and wax splatter.
Keep the Wax Clean:
Remove any wick trimmings, matches, or debris from the wax to ensure a clean burn.
🖤 Candle Hacks
Maximize Fragrance Throw:
To enjoy the full scent of your candle, burn it in a smaller, enclosed space like a bathroom or bedroom. Larger rooms may require multiple candles for a stronger scent.
Avoid Tunneling:
If your candle tunnels (where the wax around the wick doesn’t melt), wrap aluminum foil around the top of the candle, leaving an opening for the flame. This will help the wax melt evenly.
Reuse the Jar:
Once the candle has burned out, clean out the jar with warm, soapy water and repurpose it as a container for makeup brushes, pens, or small plants.
Remove Wax Easily:
To remove any leftover wax from your candle jar, freeze the jar for a few hours. The wax will shrink and pop out easily.
You can also pour hot water into the jar to melt the remaining wax, then let it cool to remove it.
Enhance Scent Throw Without Burning:
On warmer days, place your candle near a sunny window without lighting it. The heat will soften the wax and release the fragrance.
Store Your Candle Properly:
To maintain the fragrance, store your candles in a cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight. This prevents discoloration and preserves the scent.
Recycle Your Wax:
If you have leftover wax that won’t burn, melt it down and pour it into wax warmer or make small wax melts for continued use.
Fix a Candle That Won’t Light:
If the wick gets buried under the wax, pour out a little melted wax or use a paper towel to absorb it before relighting.
By following these simple care tips and hacks, you’ll ensure your Skye Candle burns longer, smells amazing, and stays safe!

Our soy candles are an eco-friendly way to add style, scent, and serenity to your home.
With proper candle care, each scented soy candle has a burn time of up to 25 hours for tin candles/ 45 hours for medium jar candle.
Yes, we do. You can purchase a standard tea light size as a soy candle sample. It’s the perfect choice if you are uncertain about a scent or would like to see the quality of our products before purchasing a full size.
All Skye Candle and Body Care products are handcrafted in a city we chose to call home – Wellington, New Zealand
We only use 100% natural soy wax (no nasties around here) to make our scented soy candles. Soy wax is a plant-based wax which is non-carcinogenic, and non-toxic. Soy wax candles are more economical, as they burn 50% longer than candles made of paraffin waxes. Soy candles produce little or no soot at all, so they are gentle for those who have breathing issues and allergies.
We're use ECO wicks, which is constructed from natural flat cotton threads interwoven with paper threads. The wick will have a slight curl, produce a consistent flame and ensures an even burn. ECO wicks are lead and zinc free
Our soy candles are made of soy wax, which is GMO-FREE, contains NO paraffin and NO unnatural additives. Soy waxes are biodegradable, renewable and environmentally safe
It’s not uncommon for a soy candle to change colour. The surface might look a bit dry or flaky if the candle hasn’t been burnt for a while. This is because soy wax is a natural product. When you relight the candle, the surface will return to normal
We use both synthetic fragrances and essential oil blends to create our soy candles and melts. These fragrances are free from phthalates and paraffins and are non-toxic. Our fragrances are highly purified, safe and made from premium quality ingredients. Soy wax holds aromas well and due to the low melting point of the wax, the fragrance oils can be released slowly to live up to their full aromatic potential.
💚 Trim your wick to 1/4" before each lighting
💚 Allow the melted wax pool to reach the edges of the jar before extinguishing, to prevent wax from building along the sides of the jar and tunnelling
💚 We recommend burning for approximately 3 hours at a time, and no longer than 4 hours.
💚 Occasionally, if you need extra hours of burning, trim the wick carefully and relight it.
💚 Carefully light the wicks using matches or a candle lighter
💚 Extinguish the flames after each use
💚 Allow the melted wax pool to reach the edges to prevent tunnelling.
💚 Burn for approximately 3 hours at a time, and no longer than 4 hours
💚 Pop your lit candle on the wooden lid or plate to protect surfaces
When a candle burns straight down the middle of the candle instead of right to the edges, it's called tunnelling. Tunnelling happens when the candle is burned for a short time. To avoid tunnelling, make sure your first light of the candle lasts for at least 2 hours or until the pool reaches the edges. To fix tunnelling, scoop out to remove the built-up wax with a spoon and relight the candle, make sure you allow it to burn right to the edges this time
Yes, absolutely. Once you're finished with your candle, peel off the stickers and pour some boiling water into the jar with a bit of dishwashing powder or detergent. Let it cool down, and the remaining wax will rise at the top. Pour out the water and remove the remaining wick from the bottom of the jar. Give the jar another quick wash and a little scrub, then let it dry before you use it. Alternatively, you can dispose of your jar in the blue coloured recycling bin.
