How It Is MadeFour steps.
Measured and repeated for every candle.
Four materials. No fillers. No shortcuts.
What Every Stān dle Candle Contains
100% Natural Soy Wax
Sourced from U.S.-grown soybeans. No paraffin, no blended wax, no petroleum derivatives. Soy wax burns at a lower temperature than paraffin — which means the fragrance diffuses slowly and consistently, preserving the top-to-base structure of the scent rather than releasing everything at once. The result is a longer burn and a more accurate fragrance experience.
Phthalate-Free Fragrance Oil
Phthalates are plasticizers used in some fragrance oils to help scent bind to wax. All Stān dle fragrance oils are formulated without them. No synthetic plasticizers, no compromise on what goes into the air during the burn.
Lead-Free Cotton Core Wick
single wick per candle, made from unbleached cotton with a cotton core. No lead, no zinc, no metal. Trimmed to ¼ inch before every burn, a cotton wick produces minimal soot and a stable, even flame.
Hand-Cast Dual-Tone Concrete Vessel
The vessel is not packaging — it is the other half of the object. Each one is hand-cast, which means slight variation in texture, tone, and surface marks from piece to piece. The weight is deliberate: low center of gravity, heat-stable, designed to outlast the candle and be kept after the final burn.
Step 1:
Ingredients
100% soy wax and phthalate-free fragrance oil, sourced and measured before production begins. Both Lavendure 21 and Sandalure 18 use botanical fragrance compositions built in three layers — top, heart, base — each blended to specific ratios that determine how the fragrance evolves during the burn.
Step 2:
Melt and Blend
The soy wax is melted using a controlled heat source to a precise temperature — high enough to fully incorporate the fragrance oil, low enough to preserve the integrity of the botanical compounds. The fragrance is added and blended thoroughly before the wax begins to cool.
Step 3:
Pour
The scented wax is hand-poured into the concrete vessels with the cotton wick centered and held in place. Hand-pouring allows for control over fill level and surface finish. Each candle is poured individually.
Step 4:
Cure and Finish
The candles cure for over 24 hours before wicks are trimmed and candles are inspected. Soy wax needs time to fully bind with the fragrance oil — the cure period is what ensures consistent scent throw from the first burn through the last.
Sandalure 18
Sandalure 18 opens with spicy top notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and pepper. The mid notes are floral geranium and clove, while the base offers creamy sandalwood, patchouli, and vanilla. This rich, grounding fragrance is ideal for deep relaxation and creating a serene ambiance.
Lavendure 21
Lavendure 21 begins with bright top notes of black currant, lemon, and orange. Mid notes of lavender, eucalyptus leaf, and fir needle add depth, leading to a base of warm amber and earthy oakmoss. This sophisticated blend is perfect for winding down and enhancing your evening routine.
