Questions

House of Gandha FAQ

Simple answers about ingredients, burn time, refills, wax melts and how to care for your candle.

What are House of Gandha candles made from?

House of Gandha candles are made with a plant-based coconut and rapeseed wax blend, pure essential oils and an unbleached cotton wick.

Do the candles use synthetic fragrance oils?

No. The candle scents are built with pure essential oils rather than synthetic fragrance oils.

How long do the candles burn?

The 120 ml jar candles burn for approximately 18-20 hours, the 300 ml jar candles for approximately 40 hours, and Unwind in its coffee-cup format for approximately 30 hours. Burn time varies with wick trimming, airflow, room temperature and how the candle is used.

How do the Spotify playlists work?

Each candle includes a QR code that opens a Spotify playlist curated for that candle scent and mood. You can also browse the House of Gandha profile on Spotify.

Can I refill my candle jar?

Refills are made for House of Gandha jars and come in 120 ml and 300 ml sizes. Choose the refill size that matches your jar, and only use refills with compatible House of Gandha containers.

Are wax melts flame-free?

The wax melt itself has no wick and is warmed in a suitable wax burner. If you use a tea-light burner, the tea light still has a flame, so never leave it unattended.

Can essential-oil blends be used on skin?

Do not use the essential-oil blends on skin or ingest them. Follow the directions and safety information on the product label.

Where is House of Gandha based?
