Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Are De Lacy at Home candles made with natural ingredients?

Yes. All of our candles are made with 100% vegan soy wax — a natural, plant-based, renewable resource. We never use paraffin wax or any animal-derived ingredients. Our candles are cruelty-free and suitable for vegans.

How long do De Lacy at Home candles burn?

Our 150g candles burn for approximately 35–40 hours, and our 220g candles burn for approximately 50–60 hours. To maximise burn time, always trim your wick to 6mm before each use and allow the wax pool to reach the edges of the vessel on the first burn.

Where are De Lacy at Home candles made?

Every De Lacy at Home candle is hand-poured in our studio in Beverley, East Yorkshire, UK. We are a small, independent business and all of our products are made in small batches by our founder, Kerris Lacy.

Are your candles safe around pets?

As with all candles, De Lacy at Home candles should be kept out of reach of pets and children. Some essential oils and fragrance compounds can be harmful to cats and dogs if ingested or inhaled in large quantities. Always burn candles in a well-ventilated room and never leave a burning candle unattended.
