Frequently Asked Questions

What are Blessèd Hex candles made of?

Every Blessèd Hex candle is hand-poured with 100% American soy wax, a lead-free 100% cotton wick, and packaged in a recyclable tin-plated steel vessel. We never use paraffin, artificial colorants, or lead.

Are Blessèd Hex candles vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes. All of our candles are 100% vegan and cruelty-free, made without any animal-derived ingredients.

Are Blessèd Hex candles sustainable and eco-friendly?

Sustainability is core to how we make every candle. Our soy wax is renewable and sourced from American farmers, our tin vessels are among the most recyclable container types available, our packaging is recycled or recyclable, and we partner with One Tree Planted to plant a tree for every order placed. Read more on our Environmental Policy page.

Is soy wax better than paraffin wax?

We think so. Paraffin candles are made from refined crude oil and often leave black soot rings from incomplete combustion. Our 100% soy wax burns cleaner, without the soot, and is a renewable, plant-based alternative.

Do you offer wholesale pricing?

Yes. We offer wholesale pricing of $10.50 per 8 oz candle (MSRP $21.00) with a $350 opening order minimum and $250 reorder minimum. Visit our Wholesale page for full details, including lead times and shipping.

Can retailers sell Blessèd Hex candles on third-party marketplaces?

No. We do not allow Blessèd Hex candles to be sold on third-party websites or marketplaces such as Amazon or Etsy.

How should I safely burn my candle?

Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it away from children and flammable materials, trim the wick to 0.25" before each burn, and never burn for more than four hours at a time. See our full Safety page for more guidance.

What inspired the horror and metaphysical themes behind Blessèd Hex candles?

Blessèd Hex launched in 2020 out of an embrace of the duality of blessings and curses in all things. Each candle's fragrance is paired with an original dark, folklore-inspired story and an intention — from banishing bad energy to seeking wisdom — for customers who love earthy, sophisticated scents with a little magic (or mischief) built in.

Do you offer sample sizes before I commit to a full candle?

Most of our fragrances are available as 2 oz testers in addition to our full-sized 8 oz candles, so you can try a scent before committing.
