Frequently asked questions
What kind of wax do you use?
100% natural soy wax in every Naldony candle. Soy burns cleaner and slower than paraffin, throws less soot, and is renewable. We avoid paraffin and paraben fragrance carriers.
How long does a candle burn for?
Most of our candles give you 35–55 hours of total burn time when burned in 2–4 hour sessions and the wick is trimmed to 5 mm before each lighting. Exact figure on each product page.
Are the fragrances natural?
Our scents are a mix of essential oils and IFRA-compliant fragrance oils. Every candle is allergen-labelled per the UK CLP Regulation.
How do I get the best scent throw?
Trim the wick to 5 mm before lighting. On the first burn, let the wax melt evenly across the whole jar (about 2–3 hours) to prevent tunnelling.
Are Naldony candles safe around children and pets?
The candles themselves are food-grade soy wax with cotton wicks. Open flame is never safe around children or pets — keep lit candles out of reach, on stable heat-resistant surfaces, and never leave them unattended.
