    Why You'll Love It:

    • 8 oz candle in a tin with a single cotton‑paper wick can easily travel in luggage without breaking

    • Soy Free, Premium Apricot Coconut wax blend for a more sustainable, cleaner burn

    • 40+ hour burn time when burned correctly

    • Phthalate‑free fragrances — ideal for homes with kids & pets

    • Hand‑poured in Tennessee

    Inspired by the gentle comforts of home‑stitched living, our 8 oz. Soy-Free Traveler Candle captures the soft, familiar warmth of early‑American domestic life. Each batch is hand‑mixed and hand‑poured in Tennessee, crafted with the same patient, intentional rhythm that once guided homestead artisans — a pace that honors tradition and elevates the everyday.

    We use a luxury Apricot Coconut wax blend, selected for its clean burn, creamy texture, and superior scent throw. It’s a more sustainable alternative to soy, offering a smooth, even melt that’s kinder to your home and the environment. With a cotton‑paper wick, your candle burns evenly from edge to edge, delivering a 40+ hour burn time when burned correctly. Our fragrances are phthalate‑free, making them a safer option for homes with children, pets, and sensitive noses.

    Applesauce Cake is blended to feel warm, nostalgic, and quietly cozy — slow‑stewed apples, soft nutmeg, and a ribbon of vanilla that settles like a fresh‑baked cake cooling on a farmhouse counter. The fragrance rises with gentle sweetness and a touch of spice, wrapping your space in that unmistakable “home is warm and something’s in the oven” feeling.

    Perfect for kitchens, living rooms, and any space where you want a scent that’s comforting, inviting, and beautifully old‑fashioned in the best way.

    Proper Candle Care

    For best results, trim wicks to ¼ inch before each burn. Allow the candle to melt fully to the edges during each use to prevent tunneling (approx. 1-2 hours). Burn no longer than 3 hours at a time, keeping away from curtains & fabrics. Always place on a heat‑safe surface. For safety, discontinue use when about ½ inch of wax remains. WARNING: Candle tin will be HOT as wax begins to melt. Do not touch or move candle until wax has completely cooled.

HANDCRAFTED WITH HERITAGE

Colonial Merchant began with the idea that products we use around our Home should be safe, easy to use, and worry-free. So, we talked to our moms, grandmothers, aunts, & family to find out how people used to take care of their Home -- before we were overrun with mass-produced chemical options. We're reviving old-fashioned, traditional ingredients like Vinegar, Baking Soda, Tallow & Saponified Oils to use in our Home around our Family & Pets.
