Nishati Candle Co. scented candles are made with all-natural soy wax, organic cotton wicks, and luxe scented oils. Just wax, wick, and scent with no other additives or dyes.

What makes an all-natural soy wax candle different?

Soy wax burns cleaner with no petrol-carbon soot. Soy wax also burns slower than paraffin, so soy wax candles also last longer.

Where are your candles made?

All of our candles are hand-poured, hand-packaged, and made with love in Brooklyn, New York.

How long do your candles last?

As long as you keep the wick trimmed and only burn them for 4 hours at a time, our 8 oz. candles last approximately 40-45 hours.

Why should I only burn your candles for 4-5 hours at a time?

These are common instructions and good practices for any candle and are meant to prolong a candle’s burn time. A longer wick creates a larger flame, a larger flame melts the wax faster, and the wax melts faster than the wick burns away. So the longer your candle burns, the larger the flame gets, causing your candle to melt faster and faster. Keeping the wick trimmed and burning 4-5 hours at a time slows everything down so you get a longer burn time.

Additionally, burning your candle for 4-5 hours at a time ensures that the wax melts all the way to the edge of the container. The melted wax (not the flame) is what gives off your candle’s scent, so this will maximize your candle’s scent when lit. It will also prevent your candle from “tunneling”, or burning a hole down the center of the candle while leaving a ring of un-melted wax along the inside of the container.
