Materials & Care

Explore material details, product specifications, and care guidance below.

01

Wax composition

Standard candles use a coconut-soy and beeswax blend. Because beeswax is animal-derived, these candles are not vegan.

02

Fragrance Materials & Claims

Our fragrance materials are selected for candle use. IFRA provides fragrance-use standards rather than finished-candle certifications, so we do not describe our candles as “IFRA certified.” Contact us with product-specific material questions.

03

Wicks

We use lead-free cotton wicks and untreated natural wooden wicks. Wooden wicks have no coating, chemical treatment, or ignition accelerant. Lead-core wicks have been prohibited in U.S. consumer candles since 2003; lead-free status is legal compliance, not a unique health claim.

04

Dyes and additives

No added synthetic dyes, UV inhibitors, or hardeners are used in standard candles. Natural wax variation and a slight tint from fragrance oil may remain visible.

05

California Proposition 65

Phoenix Crafted does not present the absence of a Proposition 65 warning as proof that a candle is non-toxic. Proposition 65 concerns certain exposure warnings and is not a certification of finished-product safety. Contact us about any product-specific material questions.

06

Candle Care Essentials

Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, and follow the wick and burn-session guidance on its label. Never leave a flame unattended. Stop use if the vessel is damaged, the flame becomes unstable, or persistent smoke occurs.

07

Product-level specifications

Each product page provides fragrance notes, sizes, materials, vessel details and care guidance. If a specification isn't listed, contact Phoenix Crafted before purchasing.
