HAND POURED, SMALL BATCHES
What does this mean and why is it important? Hand crafting in small batches produces a highly fragrant product. By creating products in this artisanal way, we maximize our fragrance-to-wax concentration to ensure the ultimate in cold and hot scent throw without the scent flashing off the wax. At LINNEA, each step of our process involves the touch of human hands. From blending, pouring, packaging, and shipping to your front door, our product is designed with passion and an unwavering commitment to quality and beauty.
OUR WAX
There are many wax mediums available to create candles for enjoyment. At LINNEA, we choose to handcraft our candles using natural soy wax grown in the Midwest. Soy wax is 100% natural and biodegradable, making it safe and clean for the environment. Soy wax has a lower melting point, which allows it to burn slower and cooler, making it a sustainable American resource.
WHY SOY?
Burns Slower | Grown in the Midwest | 100% Natural & Biodegradable
OUR WICKS
LINNEA uses all-natural cotton wicks. By using cotton wicks, instead of commonly used lead wicks, it provides a safe and clean burn for the space around you. It also helps reduce the black smoke from the candle that you might have experienced with other candles.
WHY COTTON?
All Natural | Clean Alternative to Lead | Reduces Black Smoke
OUR FRAGRANCES
Our coveted proprietary blends are a combination of therapeutic essential oils and cosmetic-grade fine fragrances. All our fragrance oils are cruelty-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free and Prop 65-compliant. Our blends comply with the International Fragrance Association’s safety and purity standards and all applicable international, federal, state, and local regulations.

RECYCLED MATERIALS
We use recyclable paper and soy or water-based inks in our packaging. While our vessel is not made from recycled glass, we strongly recommend recycling if after the candle has been enjoyed. Since soy wax is all natural, simply wash out the vessel with dish soap and warm water before recycling. Our vessels also make exceptional barware, flower vases, and lovely storage jars for cotton balls, cotton swabs, pens, pencils, and more.

FAQS
Why do you double wick the large candle?
LINNEA uses a double-wick system to provide optimal pleasing scent throw and a clean, clear burn without any tunneling. LINNEA’s watermark logo shows a modern interpretation of the Swedish Linnea flower, along with two “L”s, as a nod to our signature double wick design and in reference to our inception as Linnea’s Lights in 2009.
Why don’t you color your candles?
LINNEA is committed to enhancing one’s surroundings with beautifully complex fragrance -not decorating it with colored wax. Our clean white soy wax, our timeless vessels, and our elegant packaging are designed to blend seamlessly into their environment and allow LINNEA®’s fragrances to draw attention.
What is the burn time for your candles?
Burn time is dependent on several factors and ideal practices will help ensure optimum performance of any candle. We suggest burning candles long enough for the wax to melt all the way across the top. We also recommend not burning candles for longer than four hours at a time. Prolonged burning creates excessive heat and causes the wax to melt increasingly fast. Finally, we recommend snuffing out candles, as opposed to blowing them out and we suggest trimming candle wicks to reduce the chance of smoking. Using LINNEA’s Candle Care Kit is a great way to prolong the life of any luxury candle.
What is the shelf life of your candles?
LINNEA candles and reed diffusers are made with all-natural bases and a high concentration of fragrance and essential oils; we recommend enjoying our products within one year of opening the original packaging.
How long do your diffusers last?
LINNEA’s Reed Diffusers are designed to introduce subtle fragrance from one to three months. To intensify the scent from a reed diffuser and eliminate dust buildup, we recommend flipping the reeds regularly. The fragrance will continue to disperse as long as there’s oil in the container. Replacement reeds may be required to extend the shelf life of the product.
Do you offer refills for your diffusers?
Yes. LINNEA Reed Diffuser Refills are sold separately and include a bottle of diffuser oil and10 fresh rattan reeds. When the original reed diffuser kit is finished and no longer throws scent, one may refill the original vessel, using a LINNEA refill with fresh reeds.
Can Aromatic Mists be used as perfume?
LINNEA Aromatic Mists are intended to scent the air, alone or in tandem with a candle or diffuser. Due to the alcohol content of our Aromatic Mist fragrance oil,
we do not recommend spritzing your skin. We also recommend using caution when spritzing Aromatic Mist near fabrics and/or an open flame.
