FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

We've got answers.

What are your candles made of?

All Ksentials candles are made with 100% soy wax, phthalate-free fragrance oils, and a cotton wick. Each candle is finished with dried botanical flowers — making every one unique. We never use paraffin wax, lead wicks, or toxic dyes.

Are your products pet-friendly?

Yes. All of our candles, diffusers, and sprays are made with pet-friendly, non-toxic ingredients. We still recommend burning candles in ventilated spaces and keeping them out of reach of pets.

How long do your candles burn?

Burn times vary by size: 5oz candles burn approximately 30–35 hours, 10oz candles 60+ hours, and our 14oz Concrete Candle 80+ hours. Proper wick trimming and first-burn technique make a big difference — see our Candle Care guide.

How do I choose a scent?

Our Scent Guide has descriptions and fragrance notes for all 25 scents. If you're still not sure, start with one of our bestsellers: Cranberry Woods, Evoke, Palm, White Musk, or Beachside Orchid.

Do you offer free shipping?

Yes — free standard shipping on all U.S. orders when you spend $75 or more. See our Shipping & Returns page for full details.

Can I return or exchange my order?

We accept returns on unused, unopened products within 14 days of delivery. Email us at karla@ksentialscandles.com with your order number to get started.

Do you offer corporate or bulk orders?

Yes — we love working with businesses, event planners, and real estate professionals. Custom labels are available. Minimum 30 units. Email karla@ksentialscandles.com with your details and we'll put together a custom quote.

Where can I find Ksentials in person?

You can find us at the boutique shop inside the Miami Beach Botanical Garden, as well as select holiday and farmers markets throughout South Florida. Follow us on Instagram @ksentials_candles for market announcements.

What is the 10% donation about?

10% of every Ksentials sale is donated to local nonprofits in Miami. It's not a marketing line — it's built into how we operate. When you buy from us, you're supporting your community too.

How do I refill my Reed Diffuser?

When your diffuser oil runs out, grab our Reed Diffuser Refill Kit — it includes a fresh 4oz bottle of fragrance oil and a new set of reeds. Available in all 25 scents.
