All Lakehouse candles are handcrafted in small batches with 100% natural soy wax derived from U.S. grown beans, wooden wicks, and high-quality fragrance oils infused with essential oils giving you a clean-burning and wonderfully scented candle.

Soy wax is derived from a vegetable - soybeans! Soy wax is a natural product that has three general properties: Non-toxic, meaning the wax is not harmful to breathe in your home, unlike other large manufactured candle companies that have harmful additives such as paraffin. Made of 100% soybean oil, a renewable source harvested right here in the U.S. (a midwestern crop!) Clean burning fuel source - soy wax has a lower melting point than other waxes, therefore, lasting longer

When beginning Lakehouse Candle Co., we wanted to depict a MN memory in our product as closely as we could. In turn, we decided to create a candle that has a crackling noise, like a MN summer around the campfire or cozying up by the wooden stove during a MN blizzard. Wood wicks also have zero additives unline many cotton wicks with lead and zinc, and also have a longer burn time than cotton wick candles. It's a win-win all around with these beautiful looking (and sounding) wood wicks!

We do not have a storefront at the moment, but we do sell at many different retail stores around MN and a few in Wisconsin! To see our full list of where our candles are carried, head over to this link. We hand-pour all of our candles made to order at our production facility in Eden Prairie, MN.

Our crackling wooden wicks may have issues if the wick is not trimmed before EVERY burn (besides the initial burn, we do that one for you)! Trim with a wick trimmer, nail clipper, or even your fingers to about 1/4" to 1/8". Do this by simply removing any black char from the previous burn. This will allow the flame to melt the wax and ignite the flame. This also will lengthen your candle's life to the fullest and prevent any soot build-up!

The most important thing to having a long and successful burning candle is to prevent tunneling! Tunning is when the wax builds up along the edges of your candle and you end up wasting a decent amount of your candle. In order to prevent this, you want to make sure that each time your burn your candle you allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the candle before extinguishing the flame, especially on the initial burn! It typically takes 2-4 hours for the candle to melt all the way to the edge.

REPURPOSE! Once you are finished with your candle, warm it in the microwave and remove once cool enough to handle. Wipe excess wax and wick base away. Wash your jar with soap and warm water and wallah! Ready to reuse as you please. We recommend trying them for cotton balls, homemade vinaigrette, plant pot, or pens! **Please note if you plan to keep your label on your jar when repurposing, avoid getting it wet.

Unfortunately, we do not offer international shipping at this time.

As all of our candles are made with 100% soy wax, our candles naturally give off a more subtle aroma. The most subtle candle would be our Lake Superior candle!
