FAQ's
What are your candles made from?
Our candles are hand-poured in New Zealand using natural soy wax, pure essential oils, and cotton wicks. They're free from paraffin and other unnecessary additives.
Are your candles strongly scented?
Our candles are naturally scented with pure essential oils, creating a subtle, relaxing aroma rather than an overpowering fragrance.
How long do your candles burn?
Burn time depends on the size of your candle:
- Small: At least 8 hours
- Medium: At least 16 hours
- Large: At least 30 hours
For the best burn and longest candle life, allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges during each burn. This helps prevent tunnelling and ensures you get the most out of your candle.
Why do you use essential oils instead of fragrance oils?
At Sea Zen, we believe what you bring into your home matters. That's why we scent our candles with pure essential oils rather than synthetic fragrance oils.
Essential oils are naturally derived from plants and create a softer, more authentic aroma that's designed to complement moments of relaxation, mindfulness, and wellbeing.
Which scent should I choose?
Here's a quick guide:
- Lavender – Calm & unwind
- Lemongrass – Fresh & uplifting
- Peppermint – Refresh & focus
- Tangerine – Bright & energising

Can I reuse the tin?
Absolutely! Once your candle has finished, simply clean the tin with warm, soapy water. It's perfect for storing small items or giving a second life around your home.
