We use a high-quality natural blend of soy and coconut waxes designed to burn slowly and evenly while delivering a balanced scent throw. Our wax is petroleum-free and formulated for a clean, consistent burn.

Wooden wicks offer a softer flame and a subtle crackle that evokes the feeling of a quiet fire in the woods. They burn evenly and elevate the candle experience, simple, warm, and grounding.

Before each burn, trim the wooden wick to about 1/8 inch. When lighting, hold the flame to the wick for a few extra seconds to allow it to fully ignite. Always burn on a stable, heat-safe surface and keep the candle away from drafts.

For best results, allow the candle to burn until the wax melts evenly across the top; usually 2–4 hours. This helps prevent tunneling and extends the life of your candle.

Our candles are made with non-toxic ingredients, but we recommend burning responsibly. Always keep candles within sight and out of reach of pets and children.

When properly cared for, our wooden wick candles produce minimal soot. Trimming the wick and avoiding drafty areas will ensure the cleanest burn possible.

Backwoods by Candlelight candles are intentionally balanced. The fragrance is present and inviting without being overpowering; designed to gently fill a space rather than dominate it.

Yes. Our candles are vegan, cruelty-free, and never tested on animals.

Sustainability is important to us. We use reusable candle vessels and recyclable or minimal packaging whenever possible, encouraging mindful consumption and reuse.

Once the candle has burned completely, clean out the remaining wax and repurpose the vessel for storage, décor, or everyday use. Our vessels are designed to live on long after the flame is gone.
