Frequently Asked Questions

What are JiViSa candles made of?

Our candles are made from 100% natural soy wax and blended with natural essential oils for fragrance. No paraffin, no synthetic dyes, no harmful additives, just clean ingredients, hand-poured in small batches.

Are JiViSa candles safe?

Yes. Since our candles use soy wax instead of paraffin, they burn cleaner with less soot and fewer toxins released into the air. As with any candle, always burn on a heat-safe surface, keep the wick trimmed to 1/4 inch, and never leave a lit candle unattended.

How do I pick the right candle for me?

It comes down to the mood you're after. Want to unwind before bed? Go for a lavender scented candle. Craving something warm and cosy? A vanilla scented candle is the pick. Looking for something soft and romantic? Himalayan Rose brings a gentle, never-overpowering floral note. Need an energy boost in the morning? Try a citrus scent like Himalayan Lemongrass. And if you want something bold and long-lasting, Royal Oudh brings rich, musky depth to any room.

Why are your Soy Candles better than other candles?

Unlike paraffin candles, our handmade soy wax candles are non-toxic, cleaner burning, and better for the environment. Soy wax also holds fragrance more evenly and burns slower, so your candle lasts longer. Plus, they're beautifully packaged, making them a treat for the eyes as well as the senses.

What makes JiViSa the best scented candles online?

It comes down to three things: clean ingredients, honest fragrance, and craftsmanship. Every candle is 100% natural soy wax, hand-poured in small batches with essential oils, no paraffin, no synthetic fragrance load. That means a cleaner burn, a truer scent throw, and a candle that's as safe to live with as it is beautiful to look at. Combined with thoughtful packaging and pan-India delivery, it's why customers keep coming back to JiViSa when searching for the best scented candles online.

5 Soy Wax Candle Care Tips

To get the most out of your handmade soy wax candles:

  1. Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before lighting.
  2. Let the wax melt all the way to the edges during the first burn to avoid tunnelling.
  3. Burn for no more than 4 hours at a time.
  4. Keep the candle away from fans or air vents.
  5. Keep the container cool and dry to maintain fragrance.

Proper care ensures your candle burns evenly and lasts longer.
