Our "Waina" Citronella/Rosemary 14 oz soy wax candle is made from rescued wine bottles. "Waina" means "wine" in the Hawaiian language. Using natural materials like 100% Soy Wax and natural cotton wicks, each candle burns evenly and smoothly for the ultimate aromatherapy. Scented with 100% organic essential oils of Citronella and Rosemary to keep Mosquitoes and other bugs away. We make our candles base heavy with our very own tumbled glass and sand to give you a feel of the Pacific Ocean. This will make your candle safe from tipping over and also adds some visuals as your candle burns.

This delightful, sustainably-made candle is infused with organic essential oils of Citronella and Rosemary to keep the bugs away. What’s the best part? All of Revive Glassworks’ candles are made from recycled glass. All the candles are made from scratch and hand-poured right here in Maui! 

Tips to make your candles last longer:

• Wrap the wicks in aluminum foil and freeze the candle for an hour or two
• Light the candle and after the wax has pooled beneath the wick, blow it out and mix a pinch of table salt into the wax
• Keep the wick trimmed to ¼ of an inch
• Keep candle away from drafty areas such as windows or doorways

The first burn of a candle is important in setting the pace for how the candle will burn every other time that it is lit. When you light your candle for the very first time, make sure that it burns long enough to melt the wax all the way to the outer edge. This may take several hours. The general rule of thumb is to let the candle burn for approximately an hour per every inch of diameter. It's also important to not over trim the wick length every time the candle is lit. A wick that's trimmed too short will not allow the candle to burn hot enough and may cause tunneling. A wick that is not trimmed far enough could cause the candle to burn too hot and may cause smoking.
