Canadian beeswax, coconut wax, essential oil blend of lavandula officinalis (lavender) oil, juniperus virginiana (cedarwood) oil, mentha arvensis (peppermint) oil), natural cotton wick
Why Beeswax? Here's what we love about it:
- Sourced locally from Canadian beekeepers
- Requires minimal processing (more sustainable)
- Burns cleaner than paraffin & plant-based waxes
- Burns longer, so you get more time with every candle

What's cool about beeswax?
It's more forgiving than other waxes, so if your candle doesn't burn evenly at first, don't worry! Beeswax pulls wax in from the sides of the vessel as it burns down, so it evens itself out easily. If you want to help it along, leave the wick a little longer for one burn, rather than trimming to 1/4".
Safety First, Cozy Always
- Trim your wick to 1/4 inch (5mm) every time you light your candle for the cleanest and longest burn. If the candle is tunneling, leave the wick a bit longer.
- Burn on a heat safe surface, don't move while lit and keep the wick centered. Keep away from children, pets, curtains, drafts etc. Remove any debris or wick bits that may fall into the wax.
- Burn for 2-4 hours at a time, until melted wax is near the sides of the vessel. Burning longer than 5 hours is not recommended and may release excess scent, shorten total burn time or damage the vessel due to overheating.
Frequently asked questions
They’re designed to fill a room with a beautiful, inviting scent without being overpowering. We aim for balance, with a scent that feels cozy, not cloying.
Quick answer: Your Misiyo candle will easily burn evenly and use up all it's wax!
Here's what to expect:
- Beeswax candles burn differently than soy or paraffin. They burn hotter and they have an easier time evening out.
- Your candle might burn unevenly for the first few burns, but don't worry - that's completely normal.
- There's no need to fix any initial unevenness because our wax blend will naturally use up any excess wax from the sides of the vessel as it burns the rest of the way down.
- The only caveat here is to burn it long enough each time you light it - the minimum we suggest is 2 hours (and not longer than 5 hours at a time).
What if you had to run out of the house and extinguish it prematurely?
Don't worry! Just leave the wick a little longer on your next burn (don't trim it) to help it even out a bit and you'll be good to go.
Each one fits a different moment. Candles are the strongest of the three and will nicely fill a room with fragrance and ambiance. They're best when you're actually in the space to enjoy them - like evenings, baths, or settling in somewhere for a while. Perfect for when you have guests coming over and anytime you want to refresh your space.
Reed diffusers give a more subtle, baseline scent and work best in small to medium sized rooms like bedrooms, bathrooms, offices, hallways, and kitchens. They keep a room lightly fragranced 24-7 and all you need to do is flip the reeds every week or two - easy peasy!
Room sprays are your on-demand option, a quick refresh before guests arrive, or something light between candle burns when you want scent without lighting anything. They typically provide around an hour of lasting fragrance and are an instant burst of scent.
We love pets too (several of us have them at home), so we want to be really upfront with you about this one. Lavender Unwind is made with essential oils that aren't recommended around pets, especially cats.
If you have animals at home, the best practice is to burn it in a room your pet can't get into, like a bedroom or bathroom with the door closed, with a window cracked or a little airflow. Once you blow it out, give the room some time to air out before your pet comes back in. And as with any lit candle, keep it well out of reach of curious noses and paws.
If that setup doesn't suit your home, one of our other scents might be a better fit. Every animal is different, so if you're ever unsure, check with your vet. Read our full pet safety guide for further details.
