Looking for a fun activity to do with friends or family? Host a private candlemaking party! We'll bring all of the supplies and even craft a custom scent menu for your guests to make their own fragrance blends! You can choose from either an in-depth workshop where we educate guests on the entire candlemaking process, or a more laid back "candle bar" experience where we get down to business and just make some dang candles. (A workshop entails an engaging presentation with slides and handouts and lasts about 60 minutes, not including candlemaking time.)
We'll need an 8x10 table, kitchen island, or countertop for a wax melter, fragrances, and candle supplies. If you have a theme for your event just let us know and we can customize the menu, scents, and colors! Minimum of six guests. $35 per person + a $50 party fee.
Email crassscandleco@gmail.com to book! Please send the following information:
Candle Workshop/Bar includes:
A deposit of $100 is required to reserve the date and the remaining balance is due on receipt of the invoice after your workshop.
Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions!
]]>Enjoy an interactive candle-making experience at the Garden. Explore the benefits of paraffin-free soy wax, talk about candle care, then dive into the properties of fragrance and essential oils to create a custom scent blend before mixing and hand-pouring your candle with dried botanicals cut from the Garden.
Scents of the Desert / Sunday, April 14th, 1-3pm
Mother's Day / Saturday, May 11th, Time TBD
Join us for a heartwarming Mother's Day-themed candlemaking workshop where you'll craft custom candles infused with desert botanicals and scents reminiscent of cherished moments with mom. Create unique gifts that ignite the senses and celebrate the special bond between mothers and their loved ones.
Included in these workshops:
Please note: You will need to let your candle "cure" (sit still to cool) for at least one hour after it is poured. This is the perfect opportunity to explore the garden, shop at the gift shop or grab lunch nearby! Candles may be picked up after one hour. Due to the medium used (hot wax) we ask that participants be at least 13 years of age.
Since the inception of our business we have been on a mission to create products that are not only less harmful to the beautiful humans that buy them but are also more ecological and earth-friendly.

Wholesale Guidelines
Display of Product
Customers want to SMELL the candles! Make them easy to reach and handle. If possible, have one of each scent open so it's easy to grab and smell. Not only will that disperse the fragrance throughout your shop but it's also a nice way to draw the customer in to the space. Consider placing candles near your front door or in a walkway.
Hexagon Shelves: We have one hexagon wood shelf available that holds up to 30 candles, plus samples. It measures 36Hx36W and can be placed on a tabletop.
If you're interested in a custom CCco acrylic sign with business information and QR code, please let me know. Otherwise business cards are available for display.
Thank you for your interest in selling our products in your shop! We look forward to working with you :)
If you are a local store (or know of one!) that is interested in carrying Crass Candle Co. in your shop, please reach out to us using the contact form or via email at info@crasscandleco.com.
]]>That first part is the most important to us. We want you to have peace of mind using our candles in your homes and around your families.
We have always been committed to using the safest, highest quality, most thoroughly tested candles in the industry. That's why we continue to use fragrance oils that are Clean Scents certified from CandleScience. CandleScience is one of the leading fragrance oil brands in the business and their oils are 100% phthalate free.
In the past few years, researchers have linked phthalates to asthma, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, breast cancer, obesity and type II diabetes, low IQ, neurodevelopmental issues, behavioral issues, autism spectrum disorders, altered reproductive development and male fertility issues.
You may already be familiar with their exclusion of phthalates, but they also exclude materials with similar health concerns, including those on California’s Prop 65 list. You can find out more information about that here.
Fragrance oils and candles should always exclude:
✖ Carcinogens: These are materials known or thought to cause cancer.
✖ Mutagens: Materials that change the DNA of a cell, harming the cell and causing diseases like cancer.
✖ Reproductive toxins: Toxins that adversely affect reproductive organs and increase the risk of birth defects.
✖ Organ toxins: These are toxins that can cause adverse effects or disease within specific bodily organs.
✖ Acute toxins: Toxins that can cause adverse effects from a single exposure. Generally, this would be accidental exposure like spillage or ingestion.
And yes, these toxins are found in some products we use every day! Scary, right? We tend to only worry about things we put IN our bodies but not ON or AROUND them. Rest assured, your Crass Candles are as safe as can be.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us!

Did you know that the tins and glass jars that your candles come in are recyclable and reusable? Pretty much anything is if you put your mind to it! We've put our mind to it for you so here's some helpful information:
First you need to get the wax out. When your candle is almost done burning (no more than 1/4 inch from the bottom!) you should carefully blow it out. Pour the remaining wax into the trash - not down your drain. Use a spoon to detach the wick plate from the bottom of the jar. Wipe out the container with a paper towel then use either rubbing alcohol or hot soapy water to clean the wax from the container. Do not put your candle in the microwave to melt the wax! The wick plate is made of metal and common sense tells us to not put metal in the microwave!
Classic Tin Ideas
Glass Jar Ideas
Use the jars to store fresh flowers, pens, combs, makeup brushes and other larger items. Or grab some tea lights or votive candles and reuse it as a candle holder!
Let us know if you use your vessels another way because we'd love to share!
]]>Heck yes! They can also be repurposed in tons of different ways. For some ideas, check out our Reduce, Reuse, Recycle section! Unfortunately due to insurance purposes we are unable to reuse the jars after they candle has been burned but check out our "Upcycle" Highlight Reel on Instagram to learn about fun ways to repurpose the jars.
Do you offer refills?
Sure do! Refills can be purchased on our website (not in summer months) for our 7 oz. and 9 oz. jars. You can also pick up select scents from Desert Refillery in Uptown Phoenix! Be sure to read the instructions on the box before inserting the refill or read up on them here!
Do you do custom orders?
Absolutely. We can do custom labels and fragrances for your special event, client gifts, or any other needs you may have. Just send us an email or inquiry with the occasion, timeline, and what you're looking for and we'll work with you to get an order together. Pricing is dependent on the quantity, materials used, and shipping.
What fragrances do you have available?
We have over 50 scents to choose from when picking candles, melts and car fresheners! Check out our list of fragrance oils which includes the type/style and a mini description of each FO! All of our fragrances are PHTHALATE FREE.
I noticed one of my favorite scents is out of season. Can I still buy it?
Yep! Out of season scents can be purchased on our website in either small or large jars or small tins. Check out our other customizable products here!
Can I get a sample of a scent before I buy a candle?
We don't currently offer free samples but we do carry Tealight Sample Packs! Each pack comes with four (4) .25 ounce tealights that are perfect for sniffing. Packs come in a variety of scent types such as fruity, floral, herbal as well as by collection (Crass, Apothecary, Holiday, etc.). Sample Packs are $10.
I want multiple candles. Can you just choose for me?
Check out our "Surprise Me" Box 'o' Candles! It's perfect for anyone wanting to purchase multiple candles at a discounted rate. You'll receive a curated selection of three hand-picked candles! You can buy a 3-pack of small jars, large jars, or tins or one of each!
Do you offer reduced prices for bulk orders or wholesale?
Yep! Here is our wholesale information. If you're interested in placing an order for your store, please reach out to us with the quantity and timeline and we'll work with you on getting an order processed. Delivery is available within the metro Phoenix area.
Do you offer free shipping?
We do! Shipping is free for orders over $75.
Where do you ship?
Right now we are only shipping domestically to US states. Check out our store on Etsy for international shipping!
How long will it take to receive my order?
It will likely take about 3-5 business days to receive your package via USPS or UPS. Custom orders take a bit longer [5-7 business days] since they are made-to-order. If you are purchasing candles during the COVID-19 pandemic, you may experience a delay in shipping from USPS.
Do you allow returns or exchanges?
If you aren’t happy with your purchase, please reach out to us at crasscandleco@gmail.com or via the Contact Us form. Please include photos and a detailed description in your email so that we can determine how to best lend a helping hand.
As a growing small business, we aren’t currently able to cover return shipping costs. Exchanges or returns must be made within 30 days of delivery and require proof of purchase (e.g. your order number, order confirmation email, store receipt). Refunds cover the cost of the item returned and do not include shipping and handling fees.
You're in Arizona...and you ship in the summer?!
If temperatures reach 105°+ we may opt to shut down shipping. Otherwise we have made some accommodations to make shipping during the summer more feasible. We ship via USPS Priority Mail and UPS to get it to you as quickly and efficiently as possible.
During the summer months products will ONLY be shipped on a day that ensures the shortest travel time to you. If you are 2 days priority mail from us, we will not ship later in the week than Wednesday so that you receive it by Friday. If you are 1 day priority mail from us, we will ship up to Thursday morning. 3 day priority mail will not ship after Tuesday afternoon. This is to ensure that your package is not sitting in a hot warehouse all weekend.
What can I do to help keep my products from melting?
Glad you asked! We send your package on its way with packing materials that give it the best shot of survival but we can't control what happens once USPS drops it off to you. Mailboxes can get insanely hot in the summer, as can packages left out on a porch, in the sun, on a hot day.
We ask that you keep an eye on tracking so you can grab your package as soon as it arrives or that you request it be shipped to your work if no one will be home to take it out of the heat.
My products melted anyway! Help!
If your product does melt or get soft, in spite of the efforts we have made to prevent it, please don't worry! A melted product is not a bad product...I promise.
If the wick is accessible, pull it out from the wax and see if you can keep it upright as the candle resets. It may look a little different but it will still be the same super yummy smelling candle. If you're unable to dig the wick out and have a wax warmer, you can place the candle on the warmer and get the same fragrance distribution!
If the candle is totally ruined please reach out to us within 48 hours of receiving the package. Snap some pics for us so we can figure out what went wrong and use it as a learning experience in the future.

]]>Some basic steps to help ensure you achieve the optimum burn with your candles are as follows:
Tips For Your First Burn
Burn, baby burn!! Your first burn should be for at least one hour. Give your candle enough burning time to develop a melted wax pool that goes all the way to the edge of the container on the first use - this can take up to a few hours, depending on candle size. Believe it or not, your jar candles have a kind of “wax-memory,” and once a burning pattern has been established, it can be hard to change.
If you don’t allow your candle enough time to form a full melt pool on the first burn, a little depression or “tunnel” may start to form around the wick. This will make it more difficult for the wax around the edges of the jar to melt, causing the tunneling effect to continue with each burn. Eventually the tunnel will become too deep for fresh oxygen to flow in, and your candle will have trouble staying lit for more than short periods of time.
What is a Melt Pool?
When lighting your candle for the first time, and each time thereafter, allow the wax to melt all the way out to the diameter of it’s container. Once the melted wax reaches the glass, allow it to melt until 1/4” deep. This is called a melt pool. This is also where all of that fragrant aroma is released. If you cannot smell the aroma, it means that the jar is too small for the area. Consider placing a couple candles in one room to increase its aromatic benefit.
Cotton Wicks
Keep your wick trimmed to 1/4”. Occasionally, mushrooming (that big black blob on the wick) may occur. This is okay and simply means that there is a build up of carbon or a draft. This usually occurs when the candle is richly scented or contains vanillin (ex: Blueberry Cheesecake). After the candle is extinguished, allow the wick to harden and carefully trim to 1/4”.
Wooden Wicks
Wooden wicks are a wee bit different from traditional cotton wicks and they require a bit of extra care. Always trim your wick before each use, removing all charred wood from previous burns! If you don't, the wick may not stay lit long enough to fuel the flame, causing it to extinguish itself. To trim a wooden wick use wick trimmers to cut horizontally and remove all but 3/16" before each burn. You can also use your fingers to remove the charred bits.
Soy Wax Quirks
Soy is a living organism. It continues to expand, contract and change from its current form. It may also look frosted or lumpy. Frosting occurs when the soy heats or cools rapidly and is a natural process. These ‘flaws’ are normal and it is a clear indication that you have purchased a 100% all natural soy candle. Think of it as soy wax cellulite....it's totally normal!
For God-Sake, Keep An Eye On It!
It’s so important to never leave any candle unattended. Remove any “loose” items before lighting a candle such as wick trimmings, gemstones, petals, fruit, etc. If any items melt into the wax, try to keep them off to the side in the melt pool.
Other Miscellaneous Candle Fun Facts
Soy wax is much different than paraffin wax which is what most of us are used to burning. Due to its lack of chemicals, soy wax generally has a lighter or shorter "hot throw" meaning how far the scent goes. This means that it won't be as pungent or fragrant as a paraffin candle. Soy candles still put off a pretty awesome hot throw but just keep that in mind if you're a newly converted ex-paraffin burner. :)
Contact us if you ever have any questions!
🌵🕯️❤️
]]>Soy candles are non-toxic since they are made of vegetable oil, have a lower melting point (so the wax itself doesn’t get as hot), produce negligible amounts of soot, and release no known carcinogens into the air. Compared to paraffin candles, soy wax candles are much healthier for humans, pets, and the environment. Plus, they clean up easier (just use soap and water) when the wax is spilled onto candle holders, carpet, and furniture pieces.
Its sustainable, meaning, Soy can be renewed and regrown over and over again by hardworking farmers across the US.
Soy candles burn 50% longer than regular candles. Therefore, even though soy wax candles are sometimes more expensive than paraffin wax candles to buy, they are still more cost-effective in the long run. Furthermore, soy candles burn evenly, leaving almost no excess wax on the sides of the glass - woo!!
Soy is a living organism. It continues to expand, contract and change from its current form. It may also look frosted. Frosting occurs when the soy heats or cools rapidly and is a natural process. These ‘flaws’ are normal and it is a clear indication that you have purchased a 100% all natural soy candle. Imperfection adds character, amirite? ;)
We freaking LOVE soy wax and we hope you do too!
