How to make

Choosing the Right Vessel:
Use heat-resistant tumblers, cups, or jars that won’t leak, crack, or catch fire.

Good Options:
- Glazed ceramic
- Sturdy glass
- Sealed metal tins
- Enamel
- ~3" diameter

Avoid:
- Porous ceramics (e.g., terra cotta)
- Wood, plastic, or coconut shells
- Flammable or unstable materials

How to Make Your Candle:
1. Remove accessories from the bag.
2. Microwave the wax bag in a microwave-safe dish for ~2 minutes until melted.
3. Place the wick in the holder and center it in a 3" diameter vessel.
4. Pour melted wax into the vessel and let it set for 2 hours.
5. Trim the wick, and enjoy!

*For larger or irregular vessels, use multiple wicks to prevent tunneling. Extra wicks available in our shop.

Burning & Care

- Burn Time: Approximately 60 hours.
- Wick Care: For cotton wicks, trim to 1/4" before each use. For wood wicks, trim to 1/8". Proper trimming ensures an even burn and safe flame height.
- Full Surface Melt: On the first burn, melt the entire top layer to prevent tunneling and ensure an even burn throughout the candle's life.
- Safety: Never leave a candle unattended and keep it away from drafts, flammable objects, children, and pets.
- Optimal Burn Time: Burn for 1-4 hours at a time for best results.

      Arctic Tides

      Isabelle Reilo Riis

      "I hope they see the painting as a reflection of themselves, as full of life and contrasts, with beautiful depths and wonders, as magical, mystical, light, free and ALIVE creatures. Just like the sea. Just like life. Breathing the ebbs and flows of the tides, feeling the splashes, and riding the waves."

      Only the good stuff

      • Planet-friendly packaging

        Packaged in 100% compostable bags, our Clean Candle Refills are light to ship (lower emissions) and let you reuse favorite vessels.

      • Eco coconut blend wax

        Coconut throws scent farther and burns longer. Plus, they take less water and pesticides to grow than other common candle wax crops.

      • Clean fragrances

        We use safe fragrance and ethically sourced essential oils. They’re free of phthalates, parabens and sulfates, always.

      • American made

        Before you pour it into your favorite vessel at home, each candle is expertly crafted and hand-poured into our compostable bags in the USA.

      We're not perfect, we're in progress

      Bluebird helps us to track our progress — turns out our Clean Candles create 76% less waste and 34% less carbon emissions than a traditional candle when you reuse and refill your own vessels. But this journey to do better by people and planet is far from over.
