    Nocturnal Designs' dark aesthetic 100% beeswax candles are ethically sourced & artisan-crafted to produce a long burn time with a multipurpose solution to candle wax waste. Our wicks and molds are carefully selected to allow for a long burn time and an attractive wax shell to remain as burning aesthetically shaped candles inherently leaves wax behind. So instead of throwing away the remaining wax, reuse the wax shell as decor by displaying the crystal or stone included with your candle, our witchy goth potpourri, items from loved ones who've passed, or whatever else your heart desires for a unique piece of handmade decor.

    Suggestions on how to reuse your candle shell:
     
    • As decor to go on your altar with your loved one's belongings like jewelry or a photo nestled inside with herbs, crystals & a smudge stick.
    • To hold spiritual cleansing supplies.
    • To hold your favorite crystals.
     
    *See the last pic for inspo on how to reuse burned candles!
     
    We have done burn tests with & without dyes & mineral paint and found that our wick choice prevents issues with burning as we invest in quality flat & square-braided wicks.

    • To be more environmentally friendly we do not include a candle care card. Further, the cost of using fully biodegradable and recyclable materials for a professionally printed care card would increase the price of our candles. Instead, we put candle care instructions on each listing we create and hand-write basic instructions on recyclable craft paper sealing the letter with a wax seal. That said, we burn test each candle design to figure out the best way to get an attractive shell to reuse while maximizing burning time. Each candle has a 'burn time' range. The lower value will achieve a more attractive shell. The majority of our candles have a very tight range so burning until you use up the entire wick won't make that much of a difference in the final shell.   

      • For the best experience burn the candle so it makes a direct cylinder down the center of the pillar. As the candle burns downward the heat will rise burning away wax from higher up. If you burn too long early on you could shorten the burning time of this candle and end up with a less than attractive shell to reuse.
      • Burn for 45mins-1hr per session if you plan to reuse this candle. It's a bit more finicky than our other sculptures, but if you're patient you will get a nice 'bleed' (drip pattern) effect and the skulls will 'gently' drop off leaving some behind as seen in our example 'inspo' image. Our inspo image candle burned for ~17 hrs. Keep in mind that as with all free-standing beeswax candles, dripping will occur, adding to the 'bleeding' effect that makes this candle so unique.
