Some Common Questions
because there is no such thing as too many đź‘€

What are your candles made of?
every candle is hand-poured using a natural blend of soy wax and beeswax. we use lead-free eco wicks and phthalate-free fragrance oils, so you're left with a clean, non-toxic burn — no compromises, ever.
Are your candles eco-friendly and non-toxic?
yep! from our wax to our packaging, everything is thoughtfully chosen with sustainability in mind. our candles are safe to burn around people, pets (although not a good idea due to the potential 'tail on fire' incident), and plants making them perfect for eco conscious homes.
Why choose natural candles over regular ones?
natural soy and beeswax candles burn longer and cleaner; you get more bang for your buck!
they also don’t release harmful toxins like paraffin candles do, and the beeswax even helps purify the air while casting a warm, slow-burning, and frankly amazing glow within your spaces.
Are your candles safe for sensitive noses?
every scent is different, and every scent has its own signature and intensity. we understand that balance matters. that’s why we keep our blends gentle and intentional, and don't follow a universal scent-to-wax percentage like many other candle brands.
using skin-safe, gentle fragrance oils, we craft soft, layered scents that melt seamlessly into our natural waxes. not overpowering, but *just* right.
What makes your candles different?
at The Kindle Workshop, we believe in the oft-overlooked romance of slow craft and tradition. each candle is hand-poured in small batches, with meticulous attention to wax texture, scent composition, and subtle details.
and our fragrances? well, we believe they aren’t just scents — they’re stories! designed to transport you, they offer an escape into moody libraries, rain-soaked gardens, forgotten gothic halls, and imagined worlds. simply put, we don’t chase trends; we hand-craft fantasy, one candle at a time.
Do you offer candle gift sets?
we're currently working on curated sets, but every candle comes beautifully packed and gift-ready.
Can I add a personalized message?
absolutely! at checkout, there’s an option to leave us a note. we’ll handwrite your message and include it with your candle.
no extra charges, just extra love.
When will you introduce new scents?
we launch new fragrances with the seasons and for special collections. join our mailing list and follow us on Instagram for early access and behind-the-scenes updates.
Will sold-out candles come back?
our core collection is restocked regularly. limited edition scents may not return, but let us know what you're missing. we’re always listening.
join our mailing list to get the latest news about our restocks!
Do you ship internationally?
not yet. maybe soon though.
How long do your candles burn?
our 3.5 fl oz. candles typically burn for around 20-22 hours, and our 8.5 fl oz. ones burn for 40-44 hours with proper care. remember to trim the wick and let the wax melt fully across in an even melt pool each time. it helps everything last longer.
Why does the surface look bumpy after burning?
that’s just soy wax being its good ol' natural self. a little frosting or texture here and there is perfectly normal and means we haven’t added any hardeners or unnatural chemicals.
