FAQ

Are the candles vegan?

Yes, all of our candles are vegan. They are made from natural coconut and soy wax, both of which are plant-based and free from any animal products.

How long is the burn time of each candle?

The burn time of each candle depends on its size, but on average, our candles burn for approximately 40-60 hours. To get the most out of your candle, we recommend trimming the wick regularly and following the burning instructions on the label.

 

How to care for the candle?

To ensure the best experience and longest burn time from your candle, here are a few simple care tips:

Trim the wick: Before each use, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch (6 mm) to prevent soot and ensure an even burn.

Burn it long enough: For optimal performance, allow the candle to burn long enough for the wax to melt evenly across the surface, creating a full melt pool.


What do I do with it when I'm done?

Our jars  and vessels are super easy to clean and reuse! We recommend cleaning them with hot water and soap before the next use.

They're perfect for planters, tumblers, or to use around the house. Tag us @rittercandles on instagram to show us your candle in use and how you used your jar afterwards!

That's me

My name is Keren Ritter, and I've always loved candles. Ever since I can remember, I've been drawn to light, and a lit candle turns any moment into something special.

The Story Behind Our Candles

A few years ago, I began making candles as a hobby and decided to handcraft candles for my wedding guests. The reactions were amazing, and people loved them so much that they asked for more. This experience sparked a deeper passion for candle making, and I dove into learning everything I could to perfect the craft. After experimenting with different waxes, oils, techniques, and wicks, I found the perfect formula: a candle that blends natural scents with exceptional quality, filling the home with pleasant fragrances both when lit and unlit, while ensuring safety with a steady and beautiful flame.

Our candles are handcrafted in Austin, Texas, made from 100% soy wax, with love and attention to detail.

Knowing that my candles bring light and joy into people's homes truly fills my heart with happiness.

Thank you for supporting my business; it means the world to me.
