 ARE YOUR CANDLES NATURAL?

  • Yes, all HOOF & PAW candles are 100% natural. 
  • A selection of waxes are used such as coconut and soy. Essential oils are used in each candle, there are no fragrance oils and no additives. 
  • 8-10% of essential oils are used within each candle to achieve the perfect wellbeing aroma. 
  • Only cotton wicks are used. 
  • All our crystals are ethically sourced. 
  • All ingredients are vegan friendly. 

 

ARE YOUR CRYSTALS ETHICAL? 

  • I only source crystals from ethical suppliers and I make sure to do my research when purchasing. If I have any inkling they may not be running an ethically minded business I won't take the risk and will purchase from a company I trust. I have been mainly working with the same UK crystal supplier for four years now and have been extremely happy with their honesty and transparency regarding their supply chain. 
 

HOW DO I LOOK AFTER MY CANDLE?

  • On the first light of your candle make sure you burn your candle for between 2-4 hours. This will ensure that on your next burn, the wax melts evenly. If not, it may create a tunnel effect. 
  • Burn your candle for at least two hours to gain the maximum effect. Do not burn for longer than 4 hours. 
  • If purchasing a crystal candle: Some people like to hold their crystal whilst the candle is burning and that is completely fine to do too. Ease out the crystal with a teaspoon and wash with warm soapy water- recharge and you're ready to go. 
  • Trim the wick each time before lighting. If the wick is too long it may effect the burn quality. The flame could also become too high and dangerous. 
  • Never leave a burning candle unattended. 
  • Keep your candle out of reach from pets and children. 
  • Always leave at least 10cm between burning candles. 
  • Do not burn on or near anything that can catch fire. 
  • Do not blow out a candle, it is safer to use a candle snuffer. 
  • Do not re-light your candle once there is less than 2cm of wax left in your candles. The glass can over heat, which can become dangerous. 

 

CAN I TAKE MY CRYSTAL OUT BEFORE I LIGHT MY CANDLE? 

  • Yes! Of course you can. Some people like to meditate whilst holding their crystal and have their candle lit at the same time. 
  • Make sure your candle is NOT lit when you take out your crystal. Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the crystal and give it a wash with some soapy warm water. 
 

ARE YOUR CANDLES MADE IN THE UK? 

  • Yes, HOOF & PAW candles are hand poured in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, UK
  • Each essential oil blend is unique and has been created and tested by myself, Madeleine. 
  • Each crystal is hand picked and embedded into the wax of each candle.
 

WHAT DO I DO ONCE MY CANDLE HAS FINISHED? 

  • Any wax left over in your candle can be scooped out and placed in a wax burner 
  • Coconut and soy wax are very soft and can easily be scooped out, the container can be cleaned with soapy warm water and re-used however you wish.
  • Please keep your crystal as its' energy will continue. Your crystal can also be cleaned with soapy warm water. At this stage you may want to  re-charge your crystal before you use it again. 
 

HOW DO I CLEANSE AND RE-CHARGE MY CRYSTAL? 

  • Every crystal is different and with different properties to its' make up. To keep your crystal clean, re-charged and clear of any unwanted energies there are various ways you can do this. 
  • Please note: some crystals cannot be left in the sunlight or water. 
  • Some of my favourite ways to cleanse crystals are: Moonlight, sunlight, running water (with intention) and light visualisation.
