About Malumi candles

How should I care for my Malumi candle?

Let the candle burn for at least 1 hour the first time, and no more than 4 hours at a time. Always trim the wick before relighting. To extinguish, smother the flame or dip the wick into the melted wax. Never move the candle while lit. See the full guide on the Care & Fragrance page.

Are Malumi candles eco-friendly?

Our vessels are made from eco-resin, a durable material with reduced environmental impact. The wax is 100% plant-based (soy) and the wicks are cotton.

Can I reuse the jar once the candle is finished?

Yes. Once the candle has burned down, clean the container with warm soapy water and reuse it for decoration or storage.

How long does a Malumi candle typically last?

Our candles offer a minimum of 40 hours of fragrance, when used according to the care guide.

Are the fragrances used natural?

We use a combination of natural and high-quality synthetic essences. The declared composition of each fragrance, including its UFI code, is available on the Care & Fragrance page.

Are Malumi candles vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes. The wax is 100% plant-based and not tested on animals.

How can I prevent my candle from tunnelling?

Let the candle burn until the top layer of wax melts completely and reaches the edges of the container, every time you light it.

Where are Malumi candles made?

In our atelier in Sintra, by hand, one piece at a time.
