Frequently asked questions

All candles are 100% soy wax, free from paraffin, GMO and unnatural additives. Fragrance oils are phthalate -free fragrances, and we use natural cotton or wooden wicks, meaning you will be breathing in a clean burning scent. We implement low waste initiatives in the making of our candles.

All of our candles are handmade - by us! Each one will have its own unique identity and we can be 100% confident with the materials used.

Of course ! We can make candles to order using our signature floral scents and in different sizes and different vessels - glass, ceramic, pottery, tin, vintage china and crystal. When considering the size, think about where you may want to place your candle to enjoy it - next to your bed or beside a bathtub or in a living, open space area.

You can! We offer a candle refillery service - ideal to refill those candle vessels that are a treasure and important to you. Pick from our range of floral scents, either a favourite or try something new. Contact us on info@socialscent.co.nz to order your refill.

To ensure the best burn experience, trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each lighting and keep the candle away from drafts and flammable objects. For more detailed instructions, we have a candle care guide with 8 key things to consider.
