Our Candle FAQ
Light That Feels Like Home
At Arbor Pier Candle Co., we believe the smallest moments deserve the deepest warmth. Every candle is more than a scent—it’s a feeling, a memory, a quiet pause in a busy world. Inspired by the calm of nature and the comfort of home, our candles are designed to bring you back to yourself—soft light, gentle fragrance, and a sense of peace you can carry into every day.
Our candles are thoughtfully made with vegan, non-toxic ingredients so you can enjoy beautiful scents without compromise—clean for your home, safe for your space, and better for the environment.
We’re here for the slow mornings, the late-night reflections, and everything in between. Because home isn’t just a place—it’s a feeling. And we’re honored to be a part of yours.
Why Our Wax Matters
They're better for the planet. Sourced from renewable, biodegradable materials — soybeans, coconuts, and apricot — our waxes leave a lighter footprint on the earth without sacrificing an ounce of luxury.
100% Soy, Coconut Apricot, and Coconut Soy — each selected for their clean-burning properties, superior fragrance performance, and commitment to a healthier home environment.
They burn longer.
Natural waxes have a lower melt point, meaning they burn slower and more evenly — giving you more hours of enjoyment from every single candle.
They burn cleaner.
Free from paraffin, petroleum, and synthetic additives, our waxes produce little to no soot, keeping your air, your walls, and your lungs free from harmful toxins.
They carry fragrance beautifully.
Each wax blend is carefully selected for its ability to bind with and release fragrance consistently, filling your space with a true, balanced scent from the first strike of the match to the final flicker.
Wax Types
-
100% Soy Wax
Pure, plant-based, and proudly clean-burning — our 100% soy wax is crafted from domestically grown soybeans for a candle that burns slower, cooler, and longer than paraffin. Its naturally creamy texture holds fragrance beautifully, releasing a consistent, true-to-scent throw from the first light to the last. Free from toxins, soot, and synthetic additives, it's the conscious choice for your home and the people in it.
-
Coconut Apricot Wax
The luxury blend your space deserves. Our coconut apricot wax combines the silky richness of coconut with the soft warmth of apricot to create an exceptionally smooth, creamy finish with an unmatched fragrance throw. This premium wax binds beautifully with fragrance oils, delivering a complex, layered scent experience that fills every corner of a room. Naturally derived, paraben-free, and cosmetic-grade — it's indulgence you can feel good about. -
Coconut Soy Wax
The best of both worlds. Our coconut soy blend pairs the clean-burning integrity of soy with the superior scent throw and velvety texture of coconut wax. The result is a beautifully balanced candle that burns evenly, holds fragrance longer, and looks stunning with its creamy, glass-smooth pour. A thoughtfully crafted blend for those who want performance and purity in every burn.

Throw Strength by Scent
Clean Cotton — A soft, ambient presence. Freshens a room without filling it — perfect for small spaces, home offices, or anywhere you want clean air without a heavy scent.
Sea Salt & Orchid — A gentle, room-wide throw with a cool mineral openness. The kind of scent you notice when you walk in, then happily forget is there.
White Sage & Lavender — A medium, grounding throw that fills a room steadily and lingers long after the flame is out. Strongest in enclosed spaces like bedrooms and bathrooms.
Coconut Cream & Cardamom — A warm, rich throw that builds gradually and carries beautifully in medium to large rooms. The cardamom gives it more reach than you'd expect.
Peppered Passionfruit — A bold, vivid throw that announces itself immediately and fills a room quickly. Best for open spaces where you want the scent to be the first thing people notice.
Coconut Apricot Wax
Coconut apricot wax has one of the cleanest, most consistent burn profiles of any natural wax — slow, smooth, and steady all the way to the end.

Throw Strength by Scent
Vanilla Bean — A warm, enveloping throw that fills a room slowly and settles into every corner. Rich enough to be noticed, soft enough to never overwhelm.
Cashmere Musk — A subtle, sophisticated throw that stays close to the candle and rewards the people in the room rather than announcing itself at the door. Perfect for bedrooms and intimate spaces.
Mango Coconut — A bright, medium-strong throw that opens a room quickly with cheerful tropical warmth. Noticeably present without being heavy.
Cinnamon Chai — A strong, spiced throw that carries easily through an entire room or open floor plan. One of the most room-filling scents in the collection.

Lavender — A clean, even throw that fills a room calmly and consistently. True to the plant, without amplification — exactly what lavender should be.
Blackberry Vanilla — A medium throw with a bright, fruity top that carries well and a warm vanilla base that lingers. Builds gradually and stays balanced from first light to last.
Fraser Fir — A crisp, airy throw that moves through a room the way real evergreen does — wide and clean without being sharp. Especially effective in larger spaces.
Unscented — No throw. Pure, quiet light.
Coconut Soy Wax
The coconut-soy blend burns slightly warmer than pure soy, which means a fuller scent throw from the first light — and still an impressively long, even burn life.
