candle care

Ashy Ego candles are made with 100% natural soy wax—a clean, renewable resource that burns longer and cleaner than paraffin. You may notice slight frosting, air bubbles, or bumpy tops; these natural variations are signs of pure soy and won’t affect performance.

Each candle is crafted with high-quality fragrance and essential oils, free from phthalates, parabens, and propellants. We use only vegan, cruelty-free ingredients with cotton wicks that are lead- and zinc-free.

Our 4 oz candles burn for approximately 25–30 hours, and our 8 oz candles for 40–50 hours with proper care.

To get the most out of your candle:

  • Let the first burn reach the edges of the vessel (approx. 3–4 hours) to prevent tunneling
  • Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each use
  • Avoid burning longer than 4 hours
  • Discontinue use when ½ inch of wax remains
  • Keep away from drafts, flammable objects, pets, and children

If your candle begins to tunnel, try wrapping the top with foil (with an opening in the center) and burn for 1–2 hours. This helps melt the rim and re-set the wax pool.

Store your candles in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. If your candle arrives cold or has been stored in a chilly environment, allow it to reach room temperature for 24 hours before lighting.

To extend the life of your vessel, clean out any remaining wax once finished and repurpose the jar for plants, bathroom essentials, or office supplies. We’d love to see how you reuse yours—tag us @ashyegocandleco.

Candles are best enjoyed within 1–2 years of purchase for optimal scent and burn performance.
