Clean and Non-Toxic Burning

Olive wax is a natural, non-toxic fuel that burns cleanly, producing minimal smoke and no harmful toxins, unlike paraffin wax. This ensures a gentle, consistent flame that enhances the air quality of your space, making it ideal for those with sensitivities or allergies. At Genji Home, we prioritize wellness, crafting candles that invite calm without compromising health. By choosing olive wax, we create a serene ambiance that nurtures emotional balance, allowing you to breathe easy and savor moments of everyday joy in a pure, tranquil environment.

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable

Sustainability is at the core of Genji Home, and olive wax embodies this value. Derived from renewable olive oil, it’s biodegradable and eco-friendly, reducing environmental impact compared to petroleum-based waxes. Its slow-burning nature extends the life of each candle, offering long-lasting luxury that aligns with our commitment to mindful living. By choosing olive wax, we support a cleaner planet and empower you to create a peaceful home with products that reflect authenticity, care, and a deep respect for nature’s restorative power.

Subtle Elegance and Longevity

Olive wax candles burn slowly and evenly, delivering a refined, nostalgic glow that elevates any space. Their subtle, natural fragrance release ensures a delicate scent that soothes without overwhelming, perfect for creating serene, personalized havens. This longevity means fewer replacements, blending affordable luxury with practicality. At Genji Home, we craft each candle to embody vintage charm and quiet sophistication, transforming your daily rituals into moments of rejuvenation and emotional harmony, all while embracing the timeless beauty of slow living.

Olive Wax Candle Care

Trim the Wick

Before each lighting, trim the wick to about 5mm to promote a clean, even burn and prevent excess smoke. This helps maintain the gentle, consistent flame olive wax is known for.

First Burn Matters

Allow your candle to burn until the wax melts evenly across the surface (1-2 hours). This prevents tunneling and ensures a long-lasting, balanced glow.

Burn Time

Keep burns to 2-3 hours to preserve the subtle, natural scent and extend the candle’s life. Olive wax burns slowly, so a little time creates lasting tranquility.

Store Properly

Keep your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to protect its eco-friendly olive wax and delicate fragrance.

Avoid Drafts

Place your candle in a stable, draft-free spot to maintain its clean, smokeless burn, enhancing the serene ambiance of your space.

Extinguish Gently

Use a snuffer or dip the wick into the melted wax to extinguish, minimizing smoke and preserving the candle’s nostalgic charm.
