Are your candles scented?
No — all of our candles are unscented to avoid interfering with florals, food, or guests with sensitivities. This keeps our setups allergy-friendly and suitable for any space.

Do you offer colored sand wax candles?
Yes, we offer a selection of colored sand wax options to enhance and personalize your candlelight display. Please note that custom color selections are subject to an additional fee.

What kind of wax is used in your Glow Bags and Events?
Our Granulated Sand Wax is made with 100% vegetable-based granulated wax. A clean, eco-conscious alternative to traditional paraffin. It’s unscented, smoke-free when used properly, and free of toxins, making it a safer option for homes with pets and kids. Always burn responsibly and never leave an open flame unattended around animals.
