We start off with 100% paraffin free ethically sourced soy wax, then we custom blend the soy wax with beeswax sourced from a Canadian apiary.
We then add phthalate and paraben free - high quality candle safe fragrances using our own fragrance recipes.
We feel that our high quality ingredients makes all of the difference and creates a high quality product that we can be proud of.
Reflect Studio makes all of our candles and wax melts in house using a proprietary blend of soy wax and beeswax. We found the beeswax helps balance out any of the finicky issues soy wax can bring to the table (many places use paraffin instead of beeswax to fix these mostly cosmetic issues). Plus beeswax is the most natural of all of the waxes and can help increase the burn time of your candles. From there we carefully select our quality fragrance oils, choosing ones that smell great and perform well.
After our ingredients are selected, we begin testing. Testing candles is the most important job of a candle maker. This insures not only performance of our candles but also safety, which is the upmost importance. We test burn our candles with any change in our recipe to ensure the wick is still performing as we wanted and that the candle isn’t burning too hot, or not hot enough.
The most important thing to remember with wood wicks is proper trimming. If your wick is trimmed to 1/8 inch it should perform as desired. We find lighting on the side of the wick works best, and let the flame travel across and spread over the entire wick. If your flame looks a little high, it probably needs a trim. Extinguish your candle and let it cool. Once cooled, using nail clippers or wick trimmers, clip off all the charred bits, leaving the height of your wick to 1/8 inch. This should do the trick, but wood wicks are a natural product and sometimes slight variations may alter a wood wick performance. If you are still having issues, please contact us and we can help you troubleshoot.
Our Lighthouse Collection scents will always be stocked, but from time to time, we like to try new seasonal scents. These scents may not always be in stock depending on the time of the year. We try to keep on top of our inventory as much as possible, but sometimes one particular scent will sell better than anticipated and we may run out. As long as we still have supplies to make that product, we will be busy making more, but should our supplies like fragrance oil run out, it takes a bit of time for those to be shipped to us which could cause a delay. If there is a scent you absolutely love that was seasonal and we no longer offer this candle or melt, please email us at hello@reflectstudio.ca - we may be able to make it for you. Also, please sign up for our newsletter for any product announcements so you do not miss out on restocks, don’t forget to join our Facebook / Instagram pages @reflectstudio.ca for important launches and restocks as well!
No. The lighter spots you may see in our wax blends are a known cosmetic issue with both soy and beeswax. Many companies will use additives or other waxes blended to reduce this issue (which is called Frosting), but we want our candles to be additive free and paraffin free. The frosting you see is only cosmetic and will go away once you burn your candle or melt. It can even go away in the warmer months, as it is something that happens more in the colder temperatures.
Frosting is something that frustrates us as candle makers, but we absolutely love how our wax blend performs so we think it is worth the slight cosmetic blemish.
Beeswax is a very hard wax. Even blended with soy wax this can cause slight cracking when there are cold temperatures. Slight cracks in the wax will go away once lighting and it will not affect the performance of your candle.
Unfortunately at this time, we are only shipping within Canada. Because Reflect Studio is located in Newfoundland, shipping can be extra tricky for us, so to minimize any potential issues, we have limited our shipping for the time being. That said, if there is something you see that you love and are located outside of Canada. Please contact us, and we can see what we can do.
We are a one woman operation right now but we will do everything we can to get your order out the door ASAP. We try to keep on top of our inventory, so if it is on our website, it should be ready to go and will likely be ready for shipping within 24-48 hours. Once picked up by the courier, we will send you a tracking number and estimated delivery date.
