Yes, our candlemaking classes in Boston are kid-friendly and a great activity for ages 8+ when accompanied by an adult. It’s a fun, sensory-based experience perfect for birthdays, family outings, or bonding time.

At this time, we do not allow outside vessels to ensure a safe and consistent candlemaking experience for all guests. We offer a wide range of beautiful vessels to choose from—each selected to complement the style and scent of your custom candle.

That’s totally fine! Guests are welcome to accompany candle-makers and enjoy the cozy atmosphere of our Boston Candle Bar. Non-makers can still explore the space or neighborhood, sip something warm (or cold), and enjoy the experience.

We’d love to have them! Please contact us as soon as possible to adjust your reservation or add them online to the same time slot. If space allows, we’ll be happy to accommodate additional guests for your candlemaking session in Boston.

We get it—plans change. You can cancel or reschedule your candlemaking appointment up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund or reschedule. For same-day bookings, we offer one-time rescheduling or store credit, but cancellations are non-refundable due to our small-batch setup and limited seating.

To get the cleanest and most even burn from your natural coconut soy wax candle, always trim the wick to ¼” before each use. This helps reduce soot, ensures a steady flame, and extends the life of your clean-burning candle.

Yes. Whether your candle has a cotton wick or a wood wick, trimming it before each lighting is essential. Keeping the wick at the proper length helps prevent tunneling, minimizes smoke, and supports a consistent burn.

We recommend burning your Lifebloom candle for 2 to 4 hours at a time. For the first burn, allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the vessel for around 2 hours—this helps avoid tunneling and sets the stage for an even burn throughout the candle’s life.

Lifebloom candles are made with a natural coconut soy wax blend that’s clean-burning, sustainable, and biodegradable. Our wax is free of parabens, paraffins, and phthalates—making it safe for your space and the planet.

If you notice smoke or soot while burning your candle, it’s likely due to an untrimmed wick or a draft in the room. Always trim your wick before lighting and keep candles away from fans, open windows, or high-traffic areas for the cleanest burn.

Wood wicks need to be trimmed short—about ⅛”—before each use. If the wick is too long or if the candle is burning in a drafty space, the flame may extinguish itself. Gently trimming and relighting should do the trick.

Once your candle has finished burning, remove leftover wax by pouring hot water into the vessel to loosen the wax. Remove the wax, clean out the vessel, and repurpose the vessel as a planter, pen cup, or keepsake container—a beautiful way to extend the life of your sustainable candle.

Natural variations—like textured surfaces or frosting—are common with coconut soy wax candles and do not affect performance. These are signs of a hand-poured, small-batch product made without synthetic additives.

How do I safely burn my candle at home?

For safe and enjoyable use of your Lifebloom hand-poured candle, please follow these essential candle safety tips:

• Always place your candle on a flat, fire-resistant surface while burning.
• Keep candles away from drafts, flammable materials, and anything that could catch fire (like curtains or paper).
• Never leave a burning candle unattended.
• Keep all candles out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidents.
• Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.
• Stop burning when about ½” of wax remains in the vessel.

Practicing proper candle care and safety ensures your natural coconut soy candle burns cleanly, evenly, and safely—every time.
