Product Details
What ingredients are in your candles?
Our candle wax is made from a blend of soy and other ingredients designed for the best possible fragrance and performance. The wax has a high content of soy blended with some other natural waxes and hardeners. Some (not all) of our candles contain paraffin but this is in small quantities and is not harmful in any means.
Do the candles contain paraffin?
Our candle wax is made from a blend of soy and other ingredients deisgned for the best possible fragrance and performance. The wax has a high content of soy blended with some other natural waxes and hardeners. Some (not all) of our candles contain paraffin but this is in small quantities and is not harmful in any means.
Are your candles made from pure soy wax?
It is not possible to make a candle using 100% soy as this is a liquid. Soy wax contains some other natural waxes and hardeners to ensure the best possible fragrance and overall performance.
Are your candles safe to use?
Our candles are tested to ensure that they behave within international standards for sooting. These behaviours are present in all candles and we make sure our candles burn as cleanly and safely as possible.
Do you use natural or synthetic fragrances?
Just like the finest perfume, most of our fragrance contains a mixuture of essential oils, natural raw materials and some naturally synthesized compounds. We use these ingredients to create a high quality blend that will allow the most effective performance possible. We use naturally synthesized ingredients when using the original ingredient is harmful to animals, bad for the environment or highly allergenic. Synthetic ingredients are not harmful or bad, they are just synthesized to replicate the natural fragrance. Rest assured we follow the highest standards for compliance (the European standard) to ensure all ingredients are safe for use.
Are your products natural?
We use both natural and naturally synthesized ingredients. Synthesized ingredients are generally used when the original ingredient is harmful to animals, bad for the environment or highly allergenic. Synthetic ingredients are not harmful or bad, they are simply created to replicate the natural ingredient in the safest way. We believe that "less is more" and we try to use the most simple, effective recipes to provide and highest quality and follow the highest standards for product safety and integrity.
Does your product contain chemicals?
Chemical is the name for all compounds, both natural and synthetic. We use as few ingredients as possible and follow very strict EU standards for safety and do not use any sustances of concern. We use naturally synthesized ingredients when using the original ingredient is harmful to animals, bad for the environment or highly allergenic. Synthetic ingredients are not harmful or bad, they are just synthesised to replicate the natural compound.
Which items contain essential oils?
The fragrances in our Therapy range all contain a mixture of essential oils and some other fragrance compounds to round out the fragrance profile. We use naturally synthesised ingredients when using the original ingredient is harmful to animals, bad for the environment or highly allergenic.
Can I buy refills?
Yes we have a range of refills in our Smith & Co., Therapy & Naturals Ranges including diffuser liquid refills, reed stick refills, hand & body wash refills and exclusive to the Naturals collection - Candle wax refills.
Where are your products made?
All our body care is made right here in New Zealand. Our Naturals range of home fragrance is also made in New Zealand. Due to local manufacturing restrictions, our other Home Fragrance products are made in China, under The Aromatherapy Company's strict guidelines.

How do I open my diffuser?
Diffuser caps are securely in place to ensure no leakage of the diffuser fluid. We understand the diffuser may be a little tricky to open - we recommend using a tea towel to hold the protection cap securely and holding onto the bottle firmly with your other hand, wiggle the cap from side to side in an upwards motion until the cap is removed. Next insert the reed sticks into the bottle. Leave the bottle open with the sticks inserted. Rotate the sticks upside down once a week to release the aroma (being careful not to drip the fragrance onto any surfaces). Fragrance blooms within 48 hours and lasts up to two months (depending on your surroundings and size of diffuser).
Why did my diffuser liquid change colour?
You may see some discolouration of the diffuser liquid over time. This is a natural reaction and does not mean your product is faulty. The change is due to some of the natural fragrance compunds changing colour. Vanilla, Gardenia and other white flowers will most likely change to pale gold, or sometimes a yellow tinge. Make sure you store your diffuser out of direct sunlight as this also can discolour the liquid.
Why did my candle wax change colour?

Make sure you store your candle out of direct sunlight as this also can discolour the liquid.
Why is there black residue inside my candle?
Some black residue is impossible to avoid as it is a naturally occuring event produced by flame. To remove, simply wipe the edges of your glass vessel with a damp cloth or paper towel. Excess soot build up could mean that your candle wick is too long. Trim your wick to a maximum length of 5mm bfore each burn.
What is the shelf life of body wash/lotion once opened?
12 months once opened, however unopened these are fine for up to three years.
What is the shelf life of candles and diffusers?
Home Fragrance is stable for use at least 4 years after the date of manufacture.
I tried your product while staying at a hotel. Where can I purchase Shampoo and Conditioner?
We’re so glad you enjoyed our amenities sets during your stay! Our shampoo and conditioner sets are made specially for accommodation providers, so unfortunately they're not available for retail sale. Subject to personal preference, our hand and body washes can also be used as a shampoo as they are very gentle.
My candle is tunneling
The most common reason that candles tunnel is that the candle hasn't burned for long enough on its first burn. We recommend that you let it burn for at least two to three hours the first time you light it, so that the wax melts all the way to the edges of the candle. As the wax does have a memory, it should then burn to the edges for each subsequent burn. It is possible to reverse tunnelling if the candle hasn’t burned down too much using aluminum foil. Grab a piece of aluminum foil big enough to cover the top of the container. Poke a hole in the middle at least an inch wide so that the flame gets enough oxygen to burn. Allow the candle to burn long enough to melt the wax to the edge of the container. The aluminum foil helps hold in enough heat to melt the entire surface of wax. Very cold temperatures can also effect an even burn so if your wax is very cold - warm it a little by placing in a sunny spot before burning.
My glass candle has exploded / cracked.
Thanks for getting in touch. We’re so sorry you’ve had this experience!
The glass candle vessels are tested for thermal shock to a very high temperature so won’t break under normal use, but intense concentrated heat can eventually cause a vessel to break and this is usually caused by letting the candle burn for too long, or letting it burn too low. Please refer to the bottom of our candles for the maximum burn time per use. For our larger candles it’s usually 2-3 hours, and it must be extinguished/disposed of when the wax reaches a level of 1cm in the bottom of the vessel. At this point, a lot of ambient heat will develop in the vessel, the flame gets larger and this can be enough to crack the glass so please extinguish your candle before this level.
Please rest assured that our candles are very safe when used in line with our care instructions, which can be found on the outside of the box that the candle comes in, and also on the bottom of the candle.
