What to Expect When Purchasing Our Candles: A Guide to Pricing
At Wicked Classy, we believe in transparency, especially when it comes to the cost of our candles. We understand that as a consumer, you want to know what you're paying for and why. In this blog post, we'll break down the factors that influence the pricing of our natural coconut soy wax candles, so you can feel confident in your purchase.
The Quality of Ingredients
One of the biggest factors influencing the price of our candles is the quality of ingredients we use. Our candles are made with natural coconut soy wax, which is a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional paraffin wax. This wax not only burns cleaner but also lasts longer, providing better value over time.
In addition to the wax, we use premium, headache-free fragrances that are paraben and phthalate free. These high-quality ingredients are more expensive, but they ensure that you're getting a product that's safe for you, your home, and the environment.
Handcrafted with Care
Each candle is handcrafted with care, which means that a lot of time and attention goes into making sure every candle meets our high standards. From melting the wax to pouring it into the containers, and even the final packaging, each step is done by hand. This craftsmanship adds to the overall cost, but it also ensures a unique, high-quality product.
Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Practices
As an eco-friendly business, we're committed to reducing our environmental impact. We source our materials responsibly, use recyclable packaging, and minimize waste wherever possible. These practices can sometimes come with a higher cost, but we believe that protecting the environment is worth it.
Pricing Breakdown
Now that you understand what goes into making our candles, let's talk about the prices you can expect:
Small Candles (4-6 oz): These are perfect for smaller spaces or as gifts. Prices typically range from $12 to $20, depending on the fragrance and any special packaging.
Medium Candles (8-10 oz): Our medium-sized candles are ideal for general home use and can fill larger spaces with their delightful aroma. Expect to pay between $22 and $30 for these.

Why Our Candles Are Worth It
We understand that our candles may be more expensive than some mass-produced options on the market. However, when you purchase from us, you're investing in a product that's not only high-quality and safe but also supports sustainable and ethical business practices. You're getting a candle that's crafted with care, free from harmful chemicals, and designed to bring a touch of luxury and tranquility into your home.
