Mixtape Candles are made from all-natural, non-toxic, and sustainable ingredients. A coconut and soy wax based mixed with essential oils and natural fragrances. Wicks are made of cotton, while all of our vessels are glass with a matching lid.

Our fragrances are carefully curated to meet the highest clean-label standards—phthalate-free, vegan, cruelty-free, and free from formaldehyde, parabens, and sulfates. Blended with our coconut soy wax, they deliver a luxurious scent experience you can feel good about.

Every Mixtape Candle is poured, finished, and labeled by hand in small batches. This means slight variations in color, texture, or appearance are normal—and part of what makes each one unique. We think of them as little works of art, made with care just for you.

Our standard 8 oz candles have approximately 50-hours of burn time!

Trim the wick with a wick-trimmer each time after burning. Maintain about ¼ inch and burn for 2-3 hours at a time to avoid tunneling.
