Hand-Poured, Soy Wax Candles
The Pure Essentials soy wax candles are hand-poured in small batches, and come with a soft crackling wood wick. Each 14 oz luxury candle offers a 45–50-hour burn time, intentionally designed to become your most intimate daily ritual. Discover our collection of seven distinct scents, with individual candles priced at $60 alongside curated bundles ranging from $48 to $72.
All natural candles
We believe you have the right to know exactly what you are breathing in your space. Every ingredient is chosen with intention, keeping your home clean and your mind at peace. Traditional paraffin wax releases heavy black soot, which is why we use soy wax.
Because our signature blend features a lower melting point, these natural candles burn noticeably slower, cooler, and cleaner. This protects the fragrance notes from scorching while extending your quiet moments of reflection. No shortcuts, no compromises, just pure intention from our pour room to your home.

Are wood wick candles better?
We choose natural wood wicks because they transform your daily burning routine into an intimate sensory experience. A wood wick generates a distinct, comforting fireside crackle while producing very little soot. It naturally draws wax into a wider and shallower melt pool, which allows the fragrance profile to expand fully across your space. Our wicks are completely free of lead or zinc cores. To ensure your flame remains steady and calm, simply give the wick a short, clean trim prior to use.
| Wick Feature | Wood Wick | Cotton Wick |
|---|---|---|
| Acoustics | Soft crackling ambiance | Silent burn |
| Melt Pool Shape | Wide and shallow | Narrow and deep |
| Core Material | Lead-free and zinc-free | Standard braided cord |

How long do soy wax candles last?
A standard 14 oz soy wax candle provides a reliable burn duration of 45 to 50 hours. Because our wax is a slow-burning blend, your candle lifespan depends on a few intentional care habits.
- Initial Melt Pool
Always allow the liquid wax pool to reach the absolute edge of the glass vessel on your first burn to prevent tunneling. - Wick Maintenance
Gently snap off the charred wood material before every single lighting to keep the flame clean, stable, and low. - Session Length
Limit individual burning sessions to a maximum of 4 hours.. - Draft Exposure
Keep your candle away from open windows, ceiling fans, and air conditioning vents to prevent rapid, uneven fuel consumption. - Room Size
Avoid burning in heavily chilled or drafty spaces, which cools the glass walls and causes wax to build up on the sides.
