FAQ
BRAND
When was the brand created?
It all started in 2012 with the purchase of a candle-making kit from a local craft store. Tamara makes candles to give to her friends and family. She quickly perfected her manufacturing method and became an expert in aromatherapy. Brooklyn Candle Studio was born. Since then she continues to live her passion by creating beautifully packaged, affordable candles made with natural and locally sourced ingredients.
What makes us special?
When you buy one of our candles, you are supporting an independent brand, part of a more positive economy. We make sure we are respectful of the people we work with and the environment. We make 100% vegan candles, not tested on animals, without phthalates. In addition, we have decided to use natural ingredients and lead-free cotton wicks. The jar can be reused and the packaging recycled.

What is our advice for use?
Directions:
Always trim wicks to 0,5 cm before lighting (we suggest using a wick trimmer). The first time you light your candle, let it burn for 3-4 hours to allow the melted wax to reach the edge of the container to prevent your candle from tunneling.
Candle Safety:
Follow the 60cm rule - don't place a burning candle near clothing, books, curtains or anything flammable. Place candle holders on a stable, heat-resistant surface that is sturdy and large enough to catch any melted wax. Keep lit candles away from drafts, ceiling fans and any air currents. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish all candles when you leave a room or before going to sleep or if the flame gets too close to the candle holder or container. A candle should not be burned for more than four hours at a time. For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 0,5 cm of wax remains in the container.
