Candles & Candle Care

Where are VACASIN candles made?

Each VACASIN candle is hand-poured in small batches in Jersey City, NJ, with care and attention to detail. We use 100% soy wax, premium fragrances, and natural wooden wicks that gently crackle for a soothing ambiance. Because each candle is handmade, slight variations and imperfections may be present, making every candle uniquely yours. 

Why we choose soy wax?
Soy wax is our preferred choice because it:

  • Burns cleaner with minimal soot
  • Is renewable and eco-friendly
  • Holds fragrance longer for a more consistent scent
  • Is biodegradable and safe for your home

Candle Vessel Variation

Our signature candle vessel is typically black. However, due to our vendor supply availability, your candle may arrive in black, cream, nude, or brown. Each vessel is carefully crafted to embody the VACASIN aesthetic, ensuring a consistently luxurious experience, regardless of color. This flexibility allows us to continue stocking your favorite candles without interruption.

Why does my white candle look yellowish?

Our candles are made with 100% soy wax. Over time, the fragrance oils naturally blend with the wax, which can slightly change the original bright white color to a soft, yellowish-white hue. This is purely cosmetic and does not affect the quality, performance, or scent of your candle.

Fun Fact

The longer your candle cures, the stronger the scent becomes! Soy wax absorbs fragrance over time, allowing the aroma to fully develop for a more luxurious burn.

How do I care for my candle?
To enjoy your candle safely and prolong its life:

  • Burn candles no longer than 4 hours at a time
  • Trim wooden wicks to ¼ inch before each use
  • Always place on a heat-resistant surface
  • Keep away from drafts, direct sunlight, children, and pets
  • Avoid moving a burning candle to prevent spills or accidents
  • Allow the wax to cool completely before relighting

Safety precautions:

Never leave a burning candle unattended. VACASIN is not liable for damage or injury caused by improper use. Always follow the care instructions above to enjoy your candle safely.
