Our Products

Manufacturing

All our candles, incense, and home mists are made in Vancouver, B.C., using ingredients and supplies we source both locally and globally.

Are your products natural?

We scent our products with essential oils and phthalate-free fine fragrance. No petroleum or parabens. All Homecoming products are vegan and cruelty-free.

Are your home mists body safe?

Yes. Please make sure to spot check before applying to any surface, especially skin.

Recycling Program

Recycling drop-off

Your clean Homecoming vessels can be returned to our studio at 1871 Powell St. in Vancouver.

Studio Hours

Because we're a small team, our hours vary week-to-week. Please schedule a recycling drop-off appointment to ensure someone is at the studio to meet you.

What's eligible for recycling

We can only accept clean Homecoming candles and room spray vessels. Once your candle is finished, pour boiling water into the vessel, let it cool, and pop out the remaining wax that forms on the top. Use a spoon to remove the base of the wick and wash gently with warm, soapy water. 

Candle & Incense Care

Should I trim my wick?

Yes! Before each burn, trim your wick to ¼". A shorter wick means a steadier flame, less soot, and a longer life for your candle.

Storing Homecoming Products

Please store your Homecoming products in a cool, dry place with a lid on to preserve scent integrity.

Troubleshooting

If you're having an issue with any of your Homecoming products, please email hello@homecomingcandles.com with a photo of your product and a description of the issue. We'll do our best to find a personalized solution.
