Why does it look like there are water drops on top of my candle?Updated 8 hours ago

Little drops on the surface of a candle are called "sweating". It happens for two reasons:

  • Fragrance: a slightly higher fragrance load can come through the surface, which means more scent in the air before you even light it
  • Heat: the candle has sat in direct sun on a hot day, or near a heater or appliance

It doesn't affect how your candle burns. Store it somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight.
