What to look for in a candle shop in Long Beach

  • Do you make candles in-house or resell?
  • Do you offer custom scents or gift sets?

Frequently asked questions

How much do handmade candles cost in Long Beach?

What is the best type of candle wax?

Soy, coconut, and beeswax burn cleaner and longer than paraffin and hold scent well. Many Long Beach makers use them, so ask what a shop pours.

Why is my candle tunneling or burning too fast?

It is usually a wick or wax-pool issue. Trim the wick to about a quarter inch and let the first burn melt the top edge to edge. A good shop can recommend the right size.
