Frequently asked questions
Most candles on the market are made from paraffin wax—a by-product of petroleum refining.
Let that sink in: the same industry that fuels engines is used to scent your living room.
❌ Not natural. Not clean. Not kind to you or the Earth.
When burned, paraffin wax releases benzene and toluene—toxic chemicals associated with serious health risks and poor indoor air quality.
Worse yet, paraffin is non-biodegradable, lingering in the environment long after the flame goes out.
🌿 Soy Wax Is Different. And Better.
✅ 100% biodegradable
✅ Made from the natural oil of soybeans
✅ Burns cleaner, longer, and with less soot
✅ No toxins. No phthalates. No guilt.
✅ A beautiful choice for eco-conscious, vegan homes
Soy wax is a renewable, sustainable material that supports both your health and the planet’s future. And because it burns up to twice as long as paraffin, it turns your candle into a lasting ritual—not just a fleeting moment.
🔥 We believe every flame tells a story. Let yours tell one of purity, purpose, and peace.
At Miaamor, we choose soy wax because you deserve more than just a candle.
You deserve a flame that soothes the body, respects the Earth, and lights your space with intention.
✨ “Sustainability is the quiet glow of a conscious heart.”
And that’s the kind of glow we want in your home. 🤍
There’s something truly enchanting about a wooden wick candle.
As it burns, it crackles softly—like a whisper from a distant fireplace, bringing warmth, intimacy, and comfort to your space.
It’s not just a flame.
It’s a sound. A feeling. A moment of calm that settles into your soul.
🌿 More Than Ambience—It’s a Ritual
Unlike traditional cotton wicks, wooden wicks burn slower and more evenly, allowing your candle to last longer and glow deeper.
That means more time for presence, for peace, and for quiet magic.
At Miaamor, we use only natural wood wicks—free from toxins, free from phthalates, and full of intention.
Because when you light a candle, you’re not just lighting wax.
You’re lighting a space.
A memory.
A breath.
✨ “A wooden wick whispers calm into your space.”
And we believe every home deserves a whisper like that. 🤍
We’ve received a few funny messages lately that go something like:
“Help, my candle is stunning and smells divine… but where’s the jewelry? It’s not on top!”
Well… let us gently say: that’s kind of the point. 😅
Unlike some candles that place the surprise right on top like a cherry on a sundae, ours are designed to keep secrets. The gift is carefully hidden inside the candle—not on the surface—so it reveals itself slowly, unexpectedly, and delightfully.
✨ Meanwhile, your space fills with heavenly scent, natural crystal shimmer, and the soft crackle of a wooden wick. It’s not just a candle—it’s an experience. A ritual. A little plot twist in wax form.
How Long Does It Take for the Gift to Appear?
It depends on the size of the gift and the size of the candle. Here’s a quick guide:
Small gift candles – ⏳ approx. 3–10 hours of burn time
Medium gift candles – ⏳ approx. 5–20 hours
Large gift candles – ⏳ approx. 5–25 hours
Each burn brings you closer to the moment of reveal—so don’t rush it. Let the journey be as beautiful as the surprise itself. ✨
Would you like a cheeky visual post to go with this, like:
“It’s not missing. It’s hiding.” 😏
Each Miaamor candle with a hidden treasure is designed to reveal its surprise slowly, with intention and wonder. Here’s how to safely uncover your gift:
1. Step: Light your candle
Allow the flame to work its gentle magic. Relax and enjoy the atmosphere as the wax begins to melt.
2. Step: Wait patiently
Your gift will gradually rise to the surface as the wax melts. This may take several burning sessions, depending on the size and depth of the candle. Trust the process—good things take time.
3. Step: Gently remove the gift
Once the surprise is fully revealed and the surrounding wax is soft enough, use a pair of tweezers to carefully lift it out of the candle.
Be mindful—it may still be warm.
✨ Every hidden gem is wrapped and placed with love. Let its arrival be a moment of delight.
At Miaamor, the treasures hidden in our candles are more than just surprises—they’re carefully selected keepsakes, crafted to last and made to be worn.
We work with a variety of high-quality materials, and each candle clearly states which type of jewelry it contains, so you always know what to expect.
✨ Stainless Steel – Strong, Hypoallergenic, Timeless
Most of our jewelry is made from premium-grade stainless steel, a material we truly love—for many reasons:
✅ Durable – Resists rust, fading, and tarnishing
✅ Hypoallergenic – Safe for sensitive skin
✅ Water-resistant – You can wear it daily, worry-free
✅ Sustainable – Built to last for years, not moments
✅ Timeless beauty – Clean, elegant shine with a modern edge
We also offer gold-plated stainless steel jewelry, which brings a luxurious golden glow while maintaining the strength and resilience of steel underneath. Perfect for those who love warmth, richness, and durability in one.
🌟 Zinc Alloy – Lightweight, Stylish, Affordable
Some of our candles contain jewelry made from zinc alloy—a lighter material often used in decorative or themed pieces.
These pieces are selected for their charm, uniqueness, and affordability, and are clearly labeled in every product description.
No matter which candle you choose, rest assured:
🎁 Every gift is chosen with care, tested for safety, and designed to delight.
Because at Miaamor, we don’t just hide treasures—we share moments, meanings, and magic. 🤍
Worried the flame might harm the hidden gift? Don’t be.

“Memory tunneling” in soy candles occurs when only a small circle of wax melts around the wick during the burn, rather than the entire surface melting evenly. Over time, this creates a narrow vertical tunnel down the center of the candle—almost as if the flame is burrowing inward.
As the tunnel deepens, the wax directly beneath the flame melts rapidly while the surrounding wax remains solid. Eventually, the wick becomes buried within this tunnel and the flame struggles to access enough oxygen to stay lit. This causes the candle to extinguish prematurely.
To prevent this, always allow your soy candle to burn until the entire surface melts from edge to edge—especially during the first burn. This creates a smooth, even memory burn and helps your candle last longer, shine brighter, and perform beautifully.
Why Is My Candle Tunneling? The Truth About Soy Wax Memory
Tunneling is one of the most common—but easily avoidable—issues when burning soy candles. It happens when the wax melts only around the wick, creating a deep, narrow hole down the center of the candle. Over time, this “tunnel” prevents the flame from receiving enough oxygen, causing it to flicker, dim, or extinguish entirely.
There are two primary reasons for tunneling:
Improper first burn (burning habits)
An undersized wick (candle design flaw)
The Importance of the First Burn: Wax Has a Memory
Soy wax, though it appears solid, carries a fascinating trait—it “remembers” how it was burned. The first burn sets the stage for every burn that follows. If you blow out the candle before the melted wax reaches the edges, the next time you light it, the flame will instinctively follow the path of least resistance—melting the already-softened center again.
Meanwhile, the untouched outer wax, now hardened, resists the flame. This creates the infamous tunnel: soft wax continues to melt in the center, while the edges remain firm, untouched, and elevated.
This is why at Miaamor, we always encourage our candle lovers to treat the first burn as a ritual—not just a moment. Depending on the candle’s size, allow at least 1–2 hours for the melted wax to reach every edge of the vessel. This helps your candle remember to burn evenly, beautifully, and fully, every time.
The Second Factor: Wick Size Matters
Even with perfect burning habits, tunneling can still occur if the wick is too small for the vessel. A small wick won’t generate enough heat to melt the wax across the full surface, no matter how long it’s burned.
This is a common flaw in mass-produced candles, where cost-efficiency often takes precedence over craftsmanship. In contrast, luxury handcrafted candles, like those by Miaamor, are created with precise attention to detail. Our natural maple wooden wicks are carefully matched to each candle’s diameter, ensuring optimal flame strength, fragrance throw, and melt pool coverage.
How to Prevent Tunneling: A Simple Ritual
✨ Let your candle burn until the wax melts from edge to edge—especially the very first time.
This takes about 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size of your candle. Think of it as a moment to pause, breathe, and immerse yourself in the experience.
Each time you light a Miaamor candle, you’re not just setting a flame—you’re honoring a space, a mood, and an intention.
If your candle has already started tunneling, don’t worry—it’s not lost. With a little care and patience, you can restore it and enjoy its full beauty once again. Below are two effective methods to correct tunneling and rebalance the wax memory.
🔥 Method 1: The Hair Dryer or Heat Gun Technique
Trim the wick (you can even break it gently by hand) and carefully remove any debris or stones from the tunnel.
Using a heat gun (preferred) or a hair dryer on its highest setting, begin to gently warm the top surface of the candle. Move in circular motions, keeping a safe distance.
As the wax softens, use a toothpick to nudge any hardened wax at the edges toward the center to help it melt more evenly.
Continue heating until the entire top layer of wax is melted and leveled.
Relight the candle and allow it to burn undisturbed:
– For smaller candles (e.g., Cotton Candy Mystery): at least 30 minutes
– For larger candles (e.g., horoscope candles): at least 1 hourLet the candle rest and fully harden over the next few days. Soy wax takes 1–2 weeks to regain its optimal firmness.
✨ Method 2: The Aluminum Foil Method (Highly Recommended)
This is the method we personally recommend at Miaamor—it’s simple and surprisingly effective.
Trim the wick and remove any decorative elements or stones from the surface.
Cut a piece of aluminum foil large enough to wrap around the top of the candle. Cut a small hole (approx. 1 inch) in the center to expose the wick.
Light the candle, then gently place the foil dome over the top, covering the edges. The foil will reflect heat inward, encouraging the wax to melt evenly across the surface.
Allow the candle to burn for several hours until the full top layer of wax has melted and become smooth.
Let the candle rest and harden for at least 1–2 weeks to reset the wax memory.
💡 How to Prevent Tunneling in the First Place
Prevention is the best cure. The key is to always let the wax melt fully across the surface before extinguishing your candle—especially on the first burn, when the wax memory is being set.
A good rule of thumb:
🕯️ Burn your candle for one hour per inch of its diameter.
So if your candle is 3 inches wide, let it burn for at least 3 hours the first time.
By following this simple ritual, you protect the lifespan of your candle and ensure a clean, even burn every time.
✨ A tunneled candle is not a lost candle—it’s just one that needs a little extra love.
At Miaamor, we believe every flame can be rekindled. 🤍
If your candle isn’t tunneling, but the flame is still small or flickering, the issue may lie in the wax-to-wick ratio—especially if your soy candle is decorated with sculpted wax forms or extra wax embellishments on top.
Once those decorations melt, the candle may end up with more liquid wax than the wick was designed to handle, resulting in a weak or struggling flame.
🔧 The Simple Fix
Wait until the entire surface of the candle has melted into a liquid pool.
Then, carefully pour out a small amount of melted wax onto a sheet of baking paper (parchment paper).
Make sure you remove just enough to expose and relieve the wick so it can burn properly again.
✨ And don’t worry—the wax you pour out won’t go to waste.
Let it cool and use it later as a highly scented wax melt in a wax warmer. It’s the perfect way to extend the life of your candle and enjoy every last drop of fragrance.
Once your candle burns down further (around halfway), feel free to add the leftover wax melt back into the jar to boost scent and burn time.
At Miaamor, we believe every flicker has a reason—and with just a little care, every flame can shine its brightest. 🤍🕯️

Each Miaamor candle is handcrafted with love, which means no two pieces are ever exactly the same—and that’s part of their magic. ✨
We use 100% natural soy wax, a plant-based material that is sensitive to temperature changes.
In cold conditions (especially during winter), the wax may contract and shift slightly if your parcel sits in a delivery locker or unheated space for several days.
In hot weather, the wax can soften or expand during transit, which may also cause slight surface changes.
These are natural reactions of real soy wax and are purely cosmetic. They do not affect the burn, scent, or performance of the candle in any way.
Because of the organic nature of our materials, we are unable to offer refunds for minor visual imperfections caused by extreme temperatures.
🕯️ Candle care tip: To keep your candle in perfect shape, we recommend collecting your package promptly after delivery—especially during very hot or cold seasons.
At Miaamor, we celebrate the beauty of natural imperfection. 🤍
