Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our candles, home fragrance and lip care products.

✦
OUR CANDLES

Candles

What are Elana Collection candles made from?

Our candles are made using natural soy wax and carefully selected fragrance oils. Each candle is hand-poured in Australia in small batches.

Are your candles hand-poured?

Yes. Our candles are hand-poured in Australia in small batches, allowing us to give attention to quality and detail throughout the making process.

How do I get the best burn from my candle?

For the first burn, allow the wax to melt close to the edges of the vessel. Before each subsequent burn, trim the wick and keep the candle free from excess wick trimmings and debris.

How do I prevent my candle from tunnelling?

The best way to minimise tunnelling is to allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface during the first burn. Avoid extinguishing the candle too quickly during its first use.

How should I trim my candle wick?

Allow the candle to cool completely, then trim the wick before lighting it again. Keeping the wick neatly trimmed helps provide a cleaner and more controlled burn.

How should I store my candle?

Store your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Keep the lid on when the candle is not being used.

HOME FRAGRANCE

Reed Diffusers

How do I use a reed diffuser?

Place the reeds into the fragrance bottle and allow them to absorb the fragrance. The fragrance will gradually travel up the reeds and disperse into the surrounding room.

How often should I turn the reeds?

Turning the reeds can help refresh the fragrance. We recommend doing this carefully and only when needed, as turning the reeds more frequently can increase fragrance consumption.

How many reeds should I use?

The number of reeds can be adjusted depending on the size of the room and your preferred fragrance strength. Start with the recommended number and adjust to suit your space.

How can I make my diffuser smell stronger?

Adding or turning reeds can increase fragrance diffusion. Keep your diffuser in an area with some natural airflow, while avoiding excessive heat or direct sunlight.

Where should I place my reed diffuser?

Reed diffusers work well in living areas, bedrooms, entryways and other spaces where you want a continuous fragrance. Keep the bottle on a stable surface and away from children, pets and anything that could be damaged by spilled fragrance.

Can I refill my reed diffuser?

Please check the individual product listing or contact us to confirm whether a refill is available for your particular diffuser.

FRESHEN YOUR SPACE

Room Sprays

How do I use an Elana Collection room spray?

Shake gently before use and spray into the air to refresh your space. Start with a small amount and add more if desired.

How long does the fragrance last?

Fragrance longevity depends on the amount used, room size, ventilation and other environmental conditions.

How many sprays should I use?

Start with a few sprays and adjust according to the size of the room and your preferred fragrance strength.

Can I spray room spray directly onto fabrics?

Unless the individual product instructions specifically state that it is suitable for fabrics, we recommend using room spray as an air freshener rather than spraying directly onto fabrics or surfaces.

Where should I store my room spray?

Keep the bottle securely closed and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.

EVERYDAY LIP CARE

Lip Balms

What are your lip balms made from?

Our lip balms are made using carefully selected ingredients. Please refer to the individual product listing for the current ingredient information.

Are Elana Collection lip balms made in Australia?

Our products are made with care in Australia. Please check the individual product listing for product-specific details.

How often can I use lip balm?

Lip balm can be applied as needed throughout the day. Apply a small amount to the lips whenever they feel dry or need extra moisture.

How should I store my lip balm?

Keep your lip balm in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.

Why can lip balm feel different in hot weather?

Natural lip balm ingredients can soften in warmer temperatures and become firmer in cooler conditions. This can affect the texture without necessarily affecting the product itself.
