At Asha Candle Co., we choose high-quality fragrance oils that are always free of phthalates and parabens to ensure a safer burn. Fragrance oils are more cost-efficient, allowing us to offer affordable luxury without compromising quality. They also provide a stronger and longer-lasting scent throw, so your space fills with fragrance more effectively. Unlike essential oils, which are highly volatile and can fade or burn off quickly in the heat of a candle, fragrance oils are designed to remain stable—delivering a consistent aroma from the first burn to the last.

We use 100% soy wax because it’s better for both you and the environment. Soy is a renewable, plant-based resource, unlike paraffin, which comes from petroleum. It creates a cleaner burn with less soot and smoke, making it healthier for your home and air quality. Soy wax also burns longer and more evenly, giving you more hours of enjoyment from each candle. Plus, it’s biodegradable and non-toxic, so you can feel good about choosing a candle that’s eco-friendly and safe.

Shipping candles can be costly because of their weight and the care needed to package them safely. If we included shipping in the price, each candle—especially when buying multiples—would end up more expensive for you in the long run. By keeping shipping separate, we can offer fair, transparent pricing while ensuring your candles arrive safely and beautifully packaged. However, if you spend $100 in the shop, we do offer free shipping as a thank you!

Burn time depends on the size of your candle and how well it’s cared for. Our standard 8oz jars burn approximately 50-55 hours while our 4oz tins burn about 20-25 hours. To maximize burn time, always trim the wick to ¼ inch before each use, allow the candle to melt all the way across the surface on the first burn to prevent tunneling, and avoid burning for more than 3–4 hours at a time. With proper care, your candle will burn longer, cleaner, and more evenly from start to finish.

Yes! Our candles are designed to have an excellent scent throw—both cold throw (when the candle is unlit) and hot throw (when it’s burning). Because we use high-quality soy wax and premium fragrance oils, the aroma fills your space without being overpowering. For the best results, burn your candle in the right-sized room: smaller candles are perfect for bathrooms or cozy spaces, while larger jars will beautifully scent medium to large rooms.

Absolutely! Our jars are durable, beautifully designed, and perfect for repurposing. Once your candle has burned down, you can transform the jar into a vase for flowers, a stylish storage container for small items, or even a mini planter. They’re easy to clean and fit seamlessly into your home decor. Plus, our jars are fully recyclable, so when you’re ready to part with them, you can do so responsibly—making each candle a choice that’s both luxurious and eco-friendly.
