FAQ – Swell Scents Co.

That's a great question.

We have so much to tell you but we will try to keep it short. Unlike many other candle brands, our candles are,

- Crafted with soy & coconut wax instead of petroleum based paraffin wax.

- Our candle wicks do not contain lead and zinc.

- We only use premium fragrance oils that are free of phthalate.

If you wish to read more about our candles, please check out our story page.

Yes, all of our products are phthalate free.

Phthalate is a group of chemicals used to soften and increase the flexibility of plastic and vinyl. The health effects and danger of phthalate exposure are not yet fully known but are being studied by several government agencies. One phthalate, Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), is an endocrine disruptor and can cause cancer. Some phthalates may adversely affect human reproduction or development.

Yes, absolutely! When a 1/4" of wax remains, discontinue use of candle. Place your candle in the freezer, and once the wax hardens, it can be chipped out along with the wick. If there is more than a little bit of wax left, place your candle in a warm oven and allow the wax to liquefy. Carefully dump and compost the wax out and wipe clean. Soap and water can then be used to remove the wax residue. Use to store pens, plant succulents in or just recycle!
