Plus simple candle-care tips for the longest, cleanest burn
If you’ve ever wondered how our 12 ounce candles burn for up to 85 hours, the secret is a mix of clean ingredients, careful design, and small-batch craftsmanship. Every candle is poured by hand with our coconut-apricot wax and clean fragrance oils, both chosen for slow, steady performance and a beautiful scent throw.
Unlike many paraffin blends that burn fast and hot, coconut-apricot wax melts at a lower temperature. That means your candle lasts longer and fills your home with scent without the sooty residue or headaches that come from harsher formulas. And because our fragrances are free of phthalates, parabens, carcinogens, and mutagens, you get hours of clean, family- and pet-safe enjoyment.
How to Make Your Candle Last Even Longer
A few tiny habits can help you get every possible hour out of your AEMBR candle.
1. Trim your wick before each burn
Keep it about ¼ inch. This keeps the flame steady and prevents tunneling, smoke, and wasted wax.
2. Let the wax melt to the edges
On each burn, especially the first, allow the entire top layer of wax to melt before blowing it out. This sets an even “memory burn” and keeps the candle burning level all the way down.
3. Burn in 2–4 hour sessions
Short burns can tunnel. Very long burns can overheat the jar. A sweet spot of 2–4 hours is ideal for both performance and safety.
4. Keep your candle away from drafts
Airflow can cause uneven burning, flickering, and faster melt-off. A steady environment helps extend burn time naturally.
5. Keep wax free of debris
Dust, wick trimmings, or match remnants can disrupt the flame and shorten the life of the candle.
Why Clean Ingredients Matter for a Long Burn
Dr. Kristina Braly created AEMBR with a simple goal: home fragrance that feels like everyday luxury without the toxins found in so many candles. That focus led to using ingredients that burn more slowly, more safely, and more beautifully. Our wax blend is sustainable and clean-burning. Our fragrance oils use safe aroma molecules. Everything is crafted in small batches right here in Houston.
The result is a candle that doesn’t just last—it performs. Deep, even melts. Strong scent. A clean look. And no harsh chemicals in the air you breathe.
A Little Care Goes a Long Way
With the right candle-care routine, your AEMBR 12 oz candle can give you up to 85 hours of calm, cozy glow. It’s a simple way to make your home feel warm and welcoming, while keeping it safe for your family, your pets, and your space.
