Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Chicago candles unique?

Each Chicago candle is crafted to capture the authentic character and spirit of the city. We work closely with master perfumers who research the city's culture, neighborhoods, landmarks, and atmosphere to create fragrances that evoke genuine memories and emotions. From the selection of fragrance notes to the final product, every detail is designed to transport you to Chicago. Our candles aren't just scented products—they're sensory experiences that celebrate what makes Chicago special.

Are your candles eco-friendly and safe?

Absolutely! All Hillight candles are made with 100% natural soy wax sourced from American-grown soybeans, which burns cleaner and longer than traditional paraffin wax. We use cotton wicks that are lead-free and zinc-free, and all our fragrance oils are phthalate-free and non-toxic. Our packaging is made from recyclable and sustainably sourced materials. We're committed to creating products that are safe for your home, your family, and the environment.

How long do Hillight candles burn?

Our standard 8 oz candles provide 50-60 hours of burn time when cared for properly. To maximize your candle's lifespan, trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each use, allow the wax to melt completely across the surface on the first burn, and avoid burning for more than 4 hours at a time. With proper care, you'll enjoy weeks of beautiful fragrance from each candle.

Do you ship nationwide?

Yes! We ship to all 50 states with standard shipping typically taking 3-5 business days. Orders are processed and shipped within 1-2 business days. We offer free shipping on orders over $75, and all candles are carefully packaged to ensure they arrive in perfect condition. You'll receive tracking information as soon as your order ships.

Can I return or exchange a candle?

We want you to love your Hillight candles! If you're not completely satisfied, we accept returns and exchanges within 30 days of purchase. The candle must be unused and in its original packaging. Contact our customer service team and we'll make it right. Your satisfaction is our priority.

What size candles do you offer?

Our signature candles come in an 8 oz size, which is perfect for medium to large rooms and provides 50-60 hours of burn time. This size strikes the ideal balance between value and convenience, offering weeks of enjoyment without taking up too much space. We also periodically offer travel-size candles and special edition sizes—check our website for current availability.

How should I care for my candle?

Proper candle care ensures the best performance and longest burn time. Always trim the wick to 1/4 inch before lighting to prevent smoking and ensure an even burn. On the first use, let the candle burn until the wax melts completely across the surface—this prevents tunneling. Never burn for more than 4 hours at a time, and always place your candle on a heat-resistant surface away from drafts, children, and pets. When not in use, store your candle in a cool, dry place with the lid on to preserve the fragrance.
