Frequently asked questions

Product and materials

What type of wax is used to make Mirklis Salduma candles?

Mirklis Salduma candles are made from 100% plant-based soy wax. It is a natural and clean-burning wax that burns slower and more evenly than traditional paraffin wax. We deliberately choose soy wax to create a high-quality candle suitable for unhurried and enjoyable burning at home.

What scents and essential oils are used in the candles?

In Mirklis Salduma candles, we use carefully selected, high-quality Florihana essential oils that are suitable for aromatherapy. We craft each scent as a thoughtful essential oil composition, where not only the fragrance matters, but also the feeling it creates—peace, clarity, warmth, and the presence of nature.

Are all candles and porcelain products handmade?

Yes. Every Mirklis Salduma product is made by hand—from the porcelain to the candle pouring and its packaging.

  • Porcelain: handcrafted by Tīna Ceramics.
  • Mineral composite: handcrafted by us in the studio.
  • Essential oil blends: developed together with aromatherapy specialist Baiba Lark to ensure both aroma and therapeutic benefits.
  • Packaging: individually handcrafted by Gundega Sproģe.

Because of this, a Mirklis Salduma candle is not an industrially manufactured product—it is the combined work of several artisans, where every detail is intentionally crafted.

Is each porcelain unique, and can it differ slightly from the image on the website?

Yes. Every porcelain piece is handmade, so no two pieces are identical. Minor nuances in tone, texture, pattern, and shape naturally arise during the crafting process, giving each piece its own unique character and making every product one of a kind.

Are health- and eco-friendly raw materials used in the candles?

Yes. We consciously choose high-quality, thoughtful ingredients. The candles are poured from 100% plant-based soy wax, and scents are created using high-quality Florihana essential oils. We prioritize using materials that are as gentle as possible to both people and the environment.

What is the approximate burn time of the candle?

Burn time depends on the size and shape of the porcelain piece, as well as usage habits. To maximize burn time and ensure an even melt, follow our candle care instructions: allow the wax to melt fully to the edges during the first burn, and trim the wick before each subsequent use.

Use and care

How do I burn the candle correctly for the first time?

On the first burn, let the candle burn long enough for the melted wax to reach the edges of the vessel evenly. This helps establish a proper wax pool and prevents "tunneling" during future uses.

  • Placement: set the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, children, pets, and flammable items.
  • Wick length: ensure the wick is approximately 5 mm long before lighting.
Do I need to trim the wick before every burn?

Yes. We recommend trimming the wick to approximately 5 mm before each use. Correct wick length ensures a calm, even burn, prevents smoking or large flames, and helps the wax melt consistently. Always ensure the candle is completely cool and the wax has hardened before trimming.

How long should I burn the candle at one time?

Burn your Mirklis Salduma candle for about 2–3 hours at a time, but no longer than 4 hours. Allow the top layer of wax to melt completely to the edges of the vessel—especially during the first burn—to prevent tunneling. Once melted, extinguish the candle and let it cool completely before lighting it again.

Is it normal for the wax surface to look uneven after burning?

Yes. A slightly rough or uneven surface after extinguishing is a natural characteristic of 100% plant-based soy wax. As the wax cools and solidifies, minor textures or ripple marks can form. This is not a defect, does not affect the candle's performance, and is proof of natural soy wax.

How do I properly extinguish the candle?

The safest way to extinguish your candle is using a candle snuffer to gently smother the flame. If you don't have one, carefully blow out the flame to avoid splashing hot wax.

  • Note: do not submerge the wick into the liquid wax, as this can contaminate the wax and impair future burns.
  • Let the wax cool completely before moving the vessel, and trim the wick to 5 mm before your next burn.
Can the vessel be reused after the candle has burned out?

Yes. Mirklis Salduma vessels are crafted for a long life cycle:

  • Refill it: contact us, and we will happily refill your favorite vessel with new wax and scent.
  • Repurpose it: carefully remove any wax residue and wash the vessel gently using warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft cloth. Reuse it as a holder for jewelry, small trinkets, or as an accent decor piece.
Is it possible to refill a burned-out candle vessel?

Yes! Contact us and send your empty piece back to Mirklis Salduma. We will clean, prepare, and refill it with 100% soy wax and your choice of available aromatherapy blends so your favorite piece can start a new chapter. 🕯️

Personalization and gifts

Is it possible to choose the candle scent?

Yes. In the Mirklis Salduma collections, you will find ready-made candle and scent combinations that we have created according to my vision—combining the container shape, color, and scent into one mood.

If you want to create your own combination, in the "Create Yourself" section, you can choose your favorite container, color, and one of the available scents.

However, if you have something even more special in mind or cannot find the exact combination you want on the website, feel free to contact me. Not all possible variations can be put on the website, so I am happy to consider and, if possible, fulfill individual ideas.

Mirklis Salduma can also be created just for you. 🤍

Is it possible to choose the container color or design?

Yes. In the "Create Yourself" section, you can create your own Mirklis Salduma candle combination by choosing from the available containers, colors, and scents.

If you cannot find the exact color or combination you envisioned on the website, feel free to contact us. Handmade work allows for more individual ideas to be realized, and if the specific idea is technically possible, we'll gladly try to create it.

At the same time, each handmade container will be slightly different—it is precisely these small nuances in color, pattern, and texture that make it unique and created just for you. 🤍

Is it possible to order Mirklis Salduma candles as a gift?

Yes. Mirklis Salduma candles are created to be a complete and thoughtful gift that is ready to be given as soon as it is received.

Each set is carefully designed in a handmade box, and each set already comes with a Mirklis Salduma card, which can be supplemented with a personal wish for the gift recipient if desired.

You can choose one of the ready-made sets or create your own combination in the "Create Yourself" section by selecting the container, color, and scent.

A gift where every detail has been thought through—all that is left is to present it. 🤍

Is it possible to place an individual order?

Yes. Although we offer both ready-made Mirklis Salduma combinations on the website and the opportunity to create your own in the "Create Yourself" section, it is not possible to show all potential variations on the website.

If you have a special idea — another color combination, container, scent, or a specific concept — feel free to contact us. Together we will discuss your idea, and if it is technically possible, we'll create something especially for you.

Handmade work allows us to be flexible and create what might not always be found in the standard range. 🤍

Do you accept larger orders for companies, weddings, events, or gifts for clients/employees?

Yes. Mirklis Salduma can create larger and individually customized orders for companies, weddings, holidays, and other special events.

Together we can select the most suitable container, color, scent, and design. It is also possible to realize ideas outside the range available on the website, creating something specifically for a particular event, person, or company.

Since such orders are made individually and everything is handcrafted, the production time may be longer than for items from the existing stock. Therefore, for larger or specially developed orders, we recommend contacting us well in advance.

Tell us your idea, and together we'll see how to turn it into a Mirklis Salduma gift. 🤍
