Answers. Press and Stockist Inquiries, email [email protected] – AromaHoliday is delighted to work with you on this journey together!

Q. WHAT ARE THE COMPANY ETHICS?

We believe in the environment, and our footprint in the World and that’s why we source like-minded suppliers!  Our products are hand-pored traditionally by Aroma Holiday Ltd in the U.K. and with love!

Our candles are made with non-GM soy, manufactured from sustainable and renewable sources! We use wax from soybeans that weren’t treated with pesticides or herbicides while growing! Soy wax candles don’t give off petrol-carbon soot into your room. Soy wax candles burn cleaner than paraffin alternatives.

Our candles have no added colorants or dyes. All our candles are either white or cream with no other chemicals or additives other than our fragrance oils.

All our destination fragrances have been exclusively formulated for Aroma Holiday Ltd in the U.K. by a renowned Perfumery House and we are proud to say, that they are not tested on Animals, are Vegan Friendly, and are paraben-free!

Our Diffuser base oils are made from a renewable source. With its low evaporation rate and low odor, we think it’s the best oil money can buy! Unlike other diffuser bases, our products evaporate fully and do not have the metallic odor associated with other base materials used in cheaper products. We are very excited to be using this luxury product and are delighted to offer it to our customers.

Waste?

We try using Recyclable Packaging at all times, have a minimal waste policy, and are moving towards a better environment, AromaHoliday has switched all Lotion Containers to Sugar Cane Bioplastic!

Bioplastics are plastic materials produced from renewable biological resources, such as vegetable oils, cornstarch, or sugarcane. AromaHoliday’s packaging is made from 100% biobased material derived from sugarcane.

Instead of fossil-based materials, these custom packaging products are sourced from a 100% renewable resource: sugarcane. Their carbon footprint is lower than traditional plastic bottles and plastic jars because sugarcane absorbs CO2 from the air as it grows. Not only that, they are also 100% recyclable.

Q. ARE THERE ANY CANDLE-BURNING INSTRUCTIONS?

A. Yes, you should find a label on the underside of every Aroma Holiday Luxury Candle. In case the label is not legible then please read below:

Q. FIRST BURN

A. When you light your candle for the first time it is very important to allow approximately one hour of burn time per inch of surface diameter, or until your candle has a complete melt pool, before extinguishing. (A melt pool is when your candle melts from edge to edge of your jar):-

Let it burn for 1 hour per inch of container diameter to reach a full melt pool.

Don’t let it burn for more than 4 hours without extinguishing the flame and trimming the wick.

Allowing your new candle to burn for the proper amount of time during the first burn will help you get the best use out of your beautiful candles.

This will set the candle’s “memory” and prevent your candle from tunneling down the center.   It will also prolong the burn time of your candle.  (Times may vary depending on room temperature and environment.)

Finally, use a sharp wick trimmer or scissors to trim the wick. Using a dull tool will split the threads causing the wick to ‘mushroom’ excessively.  Aroma Holiday candles are designed to be trimmed to 1/4” before each burn.

Top Tip? Why not turn the provided lids upside down and use them as an extra protective base for the candle (Travel Tin or Luxury Glass products)?

Q. WEAK FLAME ~ WICK WAS TRIMMED TO SHORT

A. If you trim your wick too short, or it has broken off at the base, then your flame may be weak or may drown out. Don’t fret, because there is a solution! Extinguish the flame and pour off some of the excess liquid wax, into a safe container then relight. Your flame will come back to life and you will be able to continue to enjoy the wonderful aroma.

Q. FLAME TOO HIGH?

A. If the flame becomes too high or flickers repeatedly the candle is more than likely, burning in a draft or it’s time to trim the wick.  If you do not keep the wick trimmed and out of drafty areas, then your candle will probably begin to soot.  Be sure to extinguish the candle before trimming or moving.

Q. SOOT?

A. Although high soy wax candles are virtually soot-free when burned properly, no candle is 100% soot-free.  If you see that your candle is accumulating soot in your jar, extinguish the flame and trim your wick.  Remember: above all Soot can be prevented by trimming your wick to 1/4 inch.

Q. ARE THERE ANY REED DIFFUSER DIRECTIONS?

A. Yes, directions/warnings can also be found on the back of our packaging or underneath the vessel.

Spread your reeds out as much as possible to let air circulate between them. Allow up to 24 hours for the fragrance to diffuse or when the reeds are soaked through. Flip the reeds periodically, such as once a week to keep the scent strong. Replace reeds when you refill the liquid (every 4-6 months).

The diffuser is best positioned in the center of the room so that when people pass by, the air moves and the fragrance circulates. Thus, for larger rooms, it is advisable to have two positioned on the opposite ends of the room you wish to fragrance.
Do not place the diffuser on polished, varnished, or painted surfaces, on electrical equipment, or near/over sources of heat such as a radiator.

In the event of contact with skin/eyes, rinse thoroughly with clean water. If skin irritation or rash occurs, seek medical advice. Keep out of reach of children & animals. Always place on a stable surface & ensure reeds do not touch other materials such as wallpaper/curtains etc. Do not allow the oil to come in to contact with polished, painted or synthetic surfaces or fabrics. Keep diffuser away from sources of heat & direct sunlight. Not for consumption.
