Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right wax type for a safe master suite?

To ensure peak performance and respiratory safety, always prioritize botanical lipids like our 79/19/2 blend over petroleum paraffin, which releases hazardous VOCs during thermal degradation.

Why is a 10-day cure period necessary for scent longevity?

A 10-day cure allows the fragrance molecules to complex fully with the lipid lattice at a molecular level, preventing the scent from 'flashing off' and ensuring a deep hot throw.

Can I burn these candles around sensitive pets like Dachshund mixes?

Yes. Our non-toxic, lead-free standards were developed specifically with our dogs Rico, Lu, Trouble, and Ziggy in mind to protect their respiratory health from paraffin drift.

Willis Candle Shop: Safety & Technical Disclaimer

At the Willis Candle Shop, we prioritize industrial-grade safety and transparent craftsmanship. A comprehensive safety label is located on the bottom of every candle container for your reference. For optimal performance: burn within view, keep away from flammables, children, and pets. Trim cotton wicks to 1/4 inch and wood wicks to 1/8 inch before lighting. Keep the wax pool free of debris, limit burn time to 4 hours, and avoid drafts. Do not extinguish with water. Our products are engineered with Eco Soy, Coconut, and Beeswax, premium Phthalate-free fragrances, and lead/zinc-free sustainable wicks.
