When people think of statement candles, they often picture large tumblers or dramatic pillars. But here at OverSoyed, we've always believed that great things come in small packages — and our handmade-to-order Soy Tealight Candles are proof.
What Makes a Tealight So Versatile?
Tealights are the chameleons of the candle world. At just 1.5" x .75", they fit virtually anywhere — candle holders, decorative trays, bathroom ledges, dinner tables, and office desks. But don't let their size fool you. Our tealights are hand poured to order with our proprietary blend of 100% all-natural domestic soy wax and loaded with maximum fragrance — the same quality you'd expect from our full-size candles, just in a compact, recyclable polycarbonate cup.
Why Soy Wax Matters
Not all tealights are created equal. Most mass-produced tealights are made from paraffin — a petroleum byproduct that can release carcinogenic substances into the air as it burns. Our soy wax is sourced from domestic soybeans grown by US farmers, making it a natural, renewable, and biodegradable choice. It burns cleaner (little to no soot), longer (4–6 hours per candle, up to 120 hours per 20-pack), and holds fragrance more gradually and pleasantly than paraffin alternatives.
And yes — all of our fragrances are 100% Phthalate Free.
5 Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Tealights
- Trim the wick before every lighting. Keep it at 1/4" for a clean, even burn and to prevent mushrooming or excess soot.
- Let the melt pool reach the edges. For the best fragrance throw, allow the wax to melt all the way to the sides of the cup before extinguishing. This prevents tunneling and maximizes scent release.
- Group them for drama. Three to five tealights clustered together on a tray or in a bowl of decorative stones creates a stunning, spa-like display — and amplifies the fragrance beautifully.
- Match the scent to the room. Fresh citrus and eucalyptus work beautifully in bathrooms and kitchens. Warm vanilla and sandalwood are perfect for living rooms and bedrooms. Floral and herbal blends shine in entryways and offices.
- Use them as party favors. Our tealights make exceptional hostess gifts and party favors for weddings, baby showers, birthdays, and holiday gatherings. With over 2,000 fragrances available, you can customize scents to match any theme or season.
Safe & Sustainable by Design
Our tealights come in recyclable polycarbonate cups rated V0 — the highest and safest flammability rating under the UL 94 Flammability Test. The all-natural lead-free cotton wicks safely self-extinguish once the wax is exhausted. No mess, no waste — just toss the empty cup in the recycling bin.
