    The sophisticated Southern Floral scent of Gardenia blossoms, that sweet and romantic scent that has you wishing for long days, porch sitting and sweet iced tea.

    Our interpretation of this is classic summer scent is elevated with essential oil of Tuberose and true vanilla.

    ABOUT OUR PROCESS

    Our ingredients are Responsibly sourced, American grown, Vegan, Carbon Neutral, cruelty Free and Handmade in Indiana.

    We use a special SOY WAX made from 100% Midwest Soy Beans, grown mainly in Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. Most of these beans were in the field less than a year before you lit the candle made from them. Our soy wax is a renewable and sustainable crop that doesn’t require deforestation or oil supplies, it is only limited by how much our farmers want to grow!

    Our wicks are patented Crackling Wicks from the Wooden Wick Company. American Grown, hand cut wooden wickS are made with another business model we support:

    The Wooden Wick Co partnered with TREES FOR THE FUTURE. For Every $100 of Wooden Wicks sold, one tree is planted. This Year to Date, The Wooden Wick Co. & Community has planted 10,000 Trees!
     
    TREES PLANTED WITH TREES FOR THE FUTURE:
    – Create educational opportunities for children
    – Empower Women
    – Build strong communities
    – Permanently increase the income of farmers
    – Help families to feed themselves
    – Provide permanent and seasonal work

    Our tints are manufactured using vegetable oils or ingredients extracted from vegetable oils. These new formulations are now Prop 65 and REACH Compliant.

    Our jars are made just next door in Lancaster, Ohio by Anchor Hocking since 1905. They are recyclable and reusable!!

    We source biodegradable peanuts (dissolve in water) and post consumer made boxes for our shipping needs.

    We have a way to go, but we are striving to meet our own person goals for a completely locally sourced, handmade, eco friendly craft.

    Our candles are an affordable luxury you can FEEL GOOD about adding to your home. We use simple clean ingredients, minimal labeling and packaging and focus on the product in the jar.

    ALLERGIES AND SENSITIVITIES
    Are scented candles and skincare products triggers for asthma or allergies?
    Although millions of Americans regularly use scented products without any negative effects, it is always possible that a particular fragrance might trigger a negative reaction in a very small percentage of sensitive individuals. Individuals with known sensitivities to specific fragrances may want to avoid products of those scents. In addition, consumers should remember to burn all candles, whether scented or unscented, in a well-ventilated area and test skincare products in a small area before use.


    **Cleaning out your candle jar to reuse it


    Hot water can be used to easily and safely remove wax. Place the candle on a stable surface protected with a towel or newspaper.

    Use a spoon to remove as much wax as you can. Pour very hot water into the container ( I use a regular fill from my coffee pod machine), leaving room at the top. The hot water will melt the wax and it will float to the top.

    Let the water cool overnight and simply pop out the wax “cookie” that formed on top of the water.

    Strain the water to get rid of any small wax bits (Don’t pour wax down the drain) !
    I pour mine into a used coffee filter after I’ve brewed a pot and toss the filter, coffee and wax (remove wick tab) into my compost.

    Wipe any remaining wax and clean with hot soap and water or pop it in the dishwasher.**

    SUMMER ADVISORY- During the hot summer temps your products may benefit from shipping Monday through Wednesday to keep them from sitting in hot temps during transit (packages don't typically move on Saturday or Sunday). If you would like us to hold your parcel to allow it to start its trip on these days, let us know via messages and we will happily help you with this.
    Be sure to allow your products to cool off in the air conditioned air prior to use.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I trim and light my wooden wick?

    Check out our blog for care and burning tips
    www.teresalynns.com/blog

    If lighting seems difficult, the wick is too far above the surface of the wax when the candle is initially lit. Always light at the wax level, not the top of the wick.

     Solution: Make sure the wick is trimmed to be no longer than 1/8” – 3/16” / 6.4mm – 4.8mm above the wax. This seems counterintuitive, as we think a longer wick will make a larger flame, but it will not. The longer the wick, the harder it is for the wax to flow up to the top.

    Shipping costs

    Everyone in the US gets a deal on shipping with our all for one shipping cost of no more than $10.00! Whether you purchase 1 or 1001 items your cost doesn't change! This saves the average order between $5-10 per order (way more outside the midwest)!

    Are Soy Candles Safe?

    Now let’s talk about wax. Unless you are eating your candles (which you shouldn’t be) you don’t need to worry about them being produced with “Organic Soy wax”. This is good because organic soy wax doesn’t exist.

    The process of converting the oil into a wax itself renders the wax ineligible for organic certification. Even if a manufacture used the 5-9% of soybeans grown in the USA that are Organic Bean, the process itself makes them not organic.
    Should you worry about this? The simple answer is no, soy wax is safe. You should worry about a company that claims their soy candles are organic. We use wax made with only Renewable Midwest Grown Soybeans.

    We use only phthalate free fragrance oils and essential oil blends in our products.

    Return to Sender packages

    Packages received back to us as RTS (Return to Sender) may be resent at your request by purchasing a postage listing customized for your parcel with a verified address.

    After the 100 day period the listing will expire and the parcel contents will be donated to a local charity when appropriate.

    Allergy and sensitivities

    There is always the possibility for cross exposure within our studio/lab. People with sensitivities or allergies should consider avoiding scented and fragrances products.

  • Reviews

    Arrived very quickly and was well packaged! Will be ordering again soon.


    Excellent smell and beautifully packaged. I struggled with trimming the wood wick. I think I just prefer the regular kind. The wick died before the wax was finished, but I liked the smell so much I scooped it out and added it to other candles. Gardenia is my fave scent and it’s not always easy to get right. Great job.


    Smells so good!!!! Perfect honeysuckle scent ever!


    Love the smell of this candle, will be reordering. Shipping is fast and packing is very professional. Thank you!
