Custom-made candles stacked on counter at Moonshot Studio

Candles

Candles, our most popular products, are made from a soy wax blend, cotton wicks and fragrance oils. They are clean-burning and long-lasting (approximately 40 hours of burning time for 7.5 oz.), with the natural ivory color of soy wax. We carry 7.5 oz. glass jars in 6 colors, 18 oz. 3-wick handmade ceramic vessels in 3 colors, as well as pre-made 4 oz. candles in gold-colored metal tins.
Custom-made reed diffusers and wax melts at Moonshot Studio

Reed Diffusers
& Wax Tarts

Reed diffusers and Wax Tarts provide flameless ways to disperse fragrance blends into your home, office, business and other indoor environments. These items are perfect for bringing beautiful scent into surroundings where a flame is not desirable or is not permitted (apartments, dorm rooms, retirement communities & other community spaces). We carry a limited selections of electric warmers for the Wax Tarts, too.
Custom-made room and body sprays at Moonshot Studio

Room & Body Sprays

For a quick burst of scent that lasts for at least 3-5 hours per application, Room & Body Sprays are a great choice. These portable 4 oz. mists are skin and fabric safe. Use them on your body as a lighter version of perfume, and as another flameless option for dispersing fragrance indoors -- as a way to scent your bed linens, refresh a car’s interior, mask odors or enhance your mood through scent.
