Everything you need to know about our hand-poured soy candles and home fragrance, crafted in Texas. Still have a question? Email us at mitchelllifestyleco@gmail.com.
Our Products & Ingredients
What are your candles made of?
Every candle is hand-poured with a natural soy wax blend and premium fragrance oils. Soy burns cleaner and slower than paraffin, so you get a longer-lasting candle and a gentler scent throw that fills a room without overwhelming it.
What products do you offer?
Our lineup includes hand-poured soy candles, reed diffusers, room sprays, foaming hand soaps, and car diffusers. You'll find them organized into The Fall Collection, The Signature Collection, and Bundles & Gift Sets.
Are your products made in the USA?
Yes. Everything is hand-poured and crafted in small batches right here in Texas.
Are your candles safe for people with allergies or sensitivities?
Our candles are made with a soy wax blend and fragrance oils. If you have specific fragrance sensitivities, we recommend burning in a well-ventilated space and reaching out to us at mitchelllifestyleco@gmail.com with any questions about a particular scent before ordering.
How long will my candle burn?
Burn time varies by size, but caring for your candle correctly makes it last significantly longer. See the Candle Care section below for tips that help you get the most hours out of every candle.
Candle Care & Safety
How do I get the best burn from my candle?
On your first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the vessel — usually two to four hours. Soy has a "memory," so a full first melt pool prevents tunneling and helps the candle burn evenly for its whole life.
Should I trim the wick?
Yes. Trim the wick to about ¼ inch before every burn. This gives you a cleaner, steadier flame, reduces soot, and prevents the flame from getting too large.
Are there safety tips I should follow?
Always burn your candle on a heat-safe surface and never leave a lit candle unattended. Keep it away from drafts, children, and pets, and don't burn for more than four hours at a time. Stop burning once about ½ inch of wax remains at the bottom.
How do I use a reed diffuser?
Place the reeds in the bottle and let them absorb the oil. Flip the reeds every few days to refresh the scent — the more often you flip, the stronger the throw. Set your diffuser on a stable surface away from direct sunlight, and avoid getting the oil on finished or painted surfaces.
How does the car diffuser work?
Hang it from your rearview mirror and enjoy. Scent throw is strongest at first and mellows over time. Keep the diffuser off your dashboard and upholstery, since the oil can affect some surfaces.
