The main reason a candle will “tunnel” will be because it’s a cheap wick being used in it. Here at the Isle of Skye Candle Company, we only use the best quality wicks to make sure this is minimised. We use thick linen wicks that will burn out to the side within a couple of hours, ensuring that if burned as instructed, you will be left with nothing but the metal wick sustainer.

If your candles flame is too big or you have some debris in your jar this can cause your candle to smoke. Luckily this has an easy solution. Trim your wick until it's around 1cm tall and remove any debris from the melt pool of wax.

We say that our reed diffusers last approximately 10 weeks but in all honesty they can last a lot longer or sometime a bit less. This is because it varies so much based on room temperature, air flow, direct sunlight, how many reeds you insert etc etc. This is why we say approximately because for most people it will last a lot longer but we never want to disappoint people with false claims so we say a modest 10 weeks.

No we would never use or have products that are tested on any animal, we love them all too much!

Although we started off making candles only using only essential oils we found that after a while we couldn't quite get the fragrances range our customers wanted using only these oils. We did a whole lot of research into fragrance oils before we even considered using any as we didn't want to compromise our candles quality but we were pleasantly surprised to find only good things. The company we use for our fragrance oils make them using the same chemical compounds that the plants they are re-creating have, giving them the exact same fantastic smell but with a better more concentrated fragrance. To this day we still try and balance using essential oils in our products where-ever possible to give those aromatherapy benefits but we don't claim to use them exclusively.

Unfortunately, we cannot do samples at this time but we are looking into doing some sample packs since they haven’t invented smellograms for the internet yet.
