Frequently asked questions

What are J. Renee Candles made of?

Our candles are hand-poured in small batches using 100% natural soy wax, clean-burning fragrance oils, and lead-free cotton wicks. Each vessel is thoughtfully designed—many in custom concrete containers—for a safe, stylish burn.

How long will my candle burn? 

Burn time depends on the size of the candle. On average:

  • Small (4 oz): 20–25 hours

  • Medium (8 oz): 40–45 hours

  • Large (12+ oz): 60+ hours
    Proper wick trimming and full melt pools will help maximize longevity.

How do I safely burn my candle?

Always trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn, allow the wax to melt fully to the edges, and never burn for more than 3–4 hours at a time. Most importantly, never leave a candle unattended. Read our Candle Safety Tips for full guidance.

When will my order ship?

Orders typically ship within 1-2 business days. You'll receive a tracking number once your order is on the way. Please allow extra time during high- volume periods and holidays.

.

Do the concrete vessels get hot?

Our concrete vessels are heat-resistant and designed to disperse heat safely. However, as with all candle containers, the surface can get warm—always burn on a heat-safe surface and allow the vessel to cool before handling.

.

Do you offer custom or wholesale orders?

Contact us to discuss custom requests. We do not offer wholesale purchasing options at this time. 

.

Can I reuse the candle vessel after the candle is finished?

Yes! Our concrete vessels are designed to be reusable. Once your candle has burned down to about ½ inch of wax, stop use, clean out the remaining wax, and repurpose the vessel as a planter, pen holder, or decorative piece. It’s a beautiful way to reduce waste and keep the vibe going.
