Frequently Asked Questions

I want your experience with Inner Light Creative to feel effortless from the very first spark. Here are answers to some of the most common questions I receive about candle care, ingredients, and ordering. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, I’d love to hear from you through my [Contact Page].

Candle Care & Burn

How long should I burn my candle each time?
For the best burn and longest life, let your candle create a full melt pool (wax melted edge to edge) each time you light it. This usually takes 2–3 hours.

What is the burn time for your candles?
My 12 oz candles burn for approximately 60–70 hours with proper care.

How do I keep my candle burning cleanly?
Trim your wick to about ¼ inch before each burn. This helps reduce soot and extends the life of your candle.

Ingredients & Safety

What are your candles made of?
My candles are hand-poured with a luxurious blend of coconut and soy wax, paired with premium, phthalate-free fragrance oils and lead-free cotton wicks. I never use paraffin (a petroleum byproduct) in my candles — this means a cleaner burn with less soot, no harsh toxins, and a longer-lasting, more even fragrance experience. Coconut–soy wax is also plant-based, renewable, and biodegradable, so it’s as gentle on the planet as it is in your home.

Are your candles safe for pets?
My fragrances are designed to be non-toxic and phthalate-free, but always burn candles in a ventilated space and keep them out of reach of pets.

Orders & Shipping

When will my order ship?
Orders are typically processed within 2–3 business days. You’ll receive a tracking email as soon as your package is on its way.
