  • What type of candle wax is used in Alana Jake candles?
    Our candles are made from all-natural soy and coconut wax. Alana Jake does not use paraffin wax in our blend because of air quality concerns, soot, and it is not a renewable resource. Paraffin wax can release small amounts of chemicals that can irritate the respiratory system, especially in enclosed spaces. Alana Jake prioritizes clean burning, eco-friendly materials.
  • What types of wicks are used in Alana Jake candles?
    Alana Jake uses wicks that are 100% cotton and do not contain lead, zinc, or any other metals.
  • I noticed a textured surface on my candle after burning. What does this mean?
    Our candles are crafted with natural soy and coconut wax. Soy wax crystallizes as it cools, creating a unique, textured surface after burning. This is a natural characteristic of soy wax, a sign that we use all-natural ingredients in our candles! It won't affect how well your candle burns.
  • What type of fragrance is used in Alana Jake candles?
    Fragrances used in Alana Jake candles are free of phthalates and are certified by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA).
  • How long do Alana Jake candles last?
    Alana Jake candles will last approximately 20 hours, depending on how you burn them. To get the most out of your candle, we recommend following these tips: Burn for 3-4 hours at a time: This will help prevent tunneling, which can waste wax. Tunneling happens when the candle burns only around the edge, leaving unmelted wax in the center. Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each burn: A long wick can cause the candle to burn hotter and use more wax. Burn on a heat-resistant surface: This will help prevent the candle from overheating and damaging the container. Avoid drafts and vents: Drafts can cause the candle to burn unevenly and shorten its lifespan.
