How are the products made?

All our products are hand-poured by Trina, the creator of Berry Handcrafted! We use only 100% soy wax, and tested many different formulas until we found the very best for our candles and wax melts. All additives used when creating our products, (including dyes, mica powders and fragrance oils) are all vegan-friendly. We take great care whilst making each and every product, and every item is individually quality checked to ensure everything we sell reaches our high standards!

How do I look after my candle?

With any candle order, you will receive a candle care card which details ways in which to get the most out of your candle. We recommend burning your candle for at least 3 hours upon first use, which helps ensure an even melt pool. Always trim the candle wick to approximately ¼ inch between burning, (before relighting the candle), which reduces the amount of soot being released during burning and maintains the wick. Please be aware, ‘mushrooming’ of a candle wick (in which the wick resembles a mushroom shape after burning), is completely normal and cannot be avoided, but can be managed and reduced with care. Always burn candles in a well-ventilated area, away from fire hazards and never within reach of children.

Why has my candle set uneven after burning?

You may find that a candle you have purchased has set unevenly after being burnt. This is a common feature of soy wax candles; soy wax is a softer wax than paraffin wax, and therefore does not set completely flat. This is completely normal with soy wax-based candles and in no way affects the quality of the scent or the candle.

Why is there smoke coming off my wax melt burner?

You may find whilst burning our wax melts, a white vapour appears to be coming from the wax melt. This is a result of the fragrance being released from the wax during burning and is completely safe and normal for wax melts. With certain scents, we use the maximum amount of fragrance oil (to ensure our products smell as fragrant as possible!) which means vapour can appear whilst burning. However, if you are using an 8 hour or larger tealight, this may be smoke. Only ever use a 3 hour tealight with wax melts. Each wax melt order contains an instruction card; please read and follow our instructions to ensure you are getting the most out of your product.

My wax melt looks slightly white, is this ok?

Our wax melts and candles are made from 100% soy wax. With this comes frosting; where the wax looks like it has a slight white coating in parts. This isn’t on every product and doesn’t affect the quality of the product at all. This can happen on both melts and candles but is completely normal!

Something I want is out of stock, when will this be available?
