Hand-poured in small batches

Every pour happens in my kitchen, 12 candles at a time—not a conveyor belt in sight. That means tighter quality control, cleaner burns, and the little quirks that prove a human made your damn candle.

100 % soy — zero paraffin crap

Soy wax is plant-based and burns 30–50 % longer. Paraffin is a petroleum by-product that throws soot and questionable chemicals into your air. Translation: soy = cleaner lungs, happier planet, and no black gunk on your jar.

Hand-blended fragrances, no factory formulas

I mix every scent myself—layering phthalate-free fragrance oils until they hit that “ahh, that’s the one” moment. No bulk-lab shortcuts, no AI scent generator, just my nose and a lot of test burns.

Meet your resident shiddie candlemaker

Heya, I'm Andrew, the mastermind behind The Shiddie Co. I started this company after a particularly stinky visit to the bathroom, when I decided a "bathroom candle" was needed to help cover up the smell.

FAQ

How long does it take to receive my order?

I pour in weekly batches. Your candle leaves my hands within 10–14 days of ordering; USPS takes another 2-5 days to reach most U.S. addresses. You’ll get a tracking link the minute it’s boxed

What's in the wax?

Pure Golden Wax 464 soy flakes—that’s 98–99 % hydrogenated American-grown soybean oil plus a tiny plant-based additive (also soy-derived) that helps the wax stick to the glass and keep a smooth top. No paraffin, no palm, no beeswax, no dyes, and zero “secret” mineral-oil extenders.

Why soy and not paraffin?

Soy is plant-based, burns longer, and doesn’t cough up petro-soot. Paraffin is a petroleum by-product—think mini diesel exhaust in your living room. Hard pass.

What's the burn time?

About 45–50 hours for an 8 oz jar—assuming you trim your wick to ¼″ and don’t let the flame marathon all night. Treat it right and it won’t tunnel or smoke.

Do you add dyes or weird chemicals?

Nope. Wax, cotton wick, phthalate-free fragrance oils, and essential oils. That’s it. No dyes, no paraffin boosters, no secret lab sludge.

Are the scents vegan and cruelty-free?

Yep! I supply through The Flaming Candle, who certifies that their fragrances are cruelty-free, and there are zero animal-derived additives. Your candle is as vegan as a kale smoothie. Check out their FAQs for more information.

Are the jars reusable or recyclable?

Both. Wipe out leftover wax with hot water & dish soap, peel the label, and you’ve got a cute stash jar. The jar is also curbside recyclable if you’re not the hoarding type.

My candle arrived in summer--will it melt?

It can soften if the delivery truck turns into an oven, but soy re-solidifies just fine. If it looks sweaty, pop it in the fridge for 10 minutes before first burn.

Do you ship internationally?

Not yet. Right now it’s U.S.-only while I dial in packaging that survives intercontinental abuse.

Can I return or exchange a candle?

Because each candle is hand-poured to order, returns aren’t a thing unless it shows up broken. Send a photo within 7 days and I’ll replace or refund—your choice. View the return policy for more information.

Can I include a gift note?

Sure thing! Just type it in the order notes at checkout and I'll be sure it's included in the order.

What's with the name "Shiddie"?

Because sometimes life's little shiddies really stink! But seriously, during those shiddie moments, these candles give you an opportunity to turn it all into a good smell and a fun time. Check out the About page for more information.

I have more questions. How can I reach you?

Shoot an email to hello@theshiddieco.com or DM @theshiddieco on Instagram. I reply within 24 hours unless I’m wrist-deep in wax.
