FAQs

What wax do you use?
Our candles are hand-poured using 100% soy wax sourced in the U.S. Soy wax provides a clean, slow burn and may naturally develop slight variations in appearance over time.
Are your fragrances phthalate-free?
Yes. We use phthalate-free fragrance oils in our candles and home fragrance products, thoughtfully chosen to create beautiful fragrance without being overpowering.
How strong are your candles?
SummerCay scents are intentionally designed to gently fill your space rather than overpower it. Fragrance strength can vary depending on the scent, candle size, room size, and airflow in your home.
For the best experience, choose a candle size suited to the space you're scenting.
Why does my candle look different after burning?
Frosting, slight texture, or changes in the surface of the wax can naturally occur with soy wax, especially after burning. These variations are normal and do not affect the performance of your candle.

How should I care for my candle?
For your candle to perform at its best.
For the best burn, allow the wax to melt close to the edges of the vessel during the first burn. Trim your wick only when needed before each use and remove any excess carbon buildup.
Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Always place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, children, pets, and flammable materials, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
