Candle Care & Safety

Candles create warmth and atmosphere when used properly. Please read and follow these instructions carefully to ensure safe use and optimal performance.

Before Lighting

  • Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each use.

  • Place the candle on a heat-resistant, stable surface.

  • Keep the candle free of matches, wick trimmings, and debris.

  • Always burn candles within sight.

While Burning

  • Do not burn for more than 3–4 hours at a time.

  • Allow the wax to melt fully across the surface on the first burn to help prevent tunneling.

  • Keep candles away from drafts, pets, and children.

  • Never move a candle while it is lit or while the wax is hot.

  • Keep candles away from flammable objects.

Extinguishing

  • Extinguish candles using a snuffer whenever possible to avoid hot wax splatter and smoke.

  • Ensure the wick is upright and centered after extinguishing.

  • Do not blow directly into the candle.

When to Stop Burning

  • Discontinue use when ½ inch of wax remains at the bottom of the container.

  • Do not relight a candle once it has reached this point.

Candle Behavior & Natural Variations

  • Variations in wax texture, frosting, or surface appearance are normal and do not affect performance.

  • Soy and coconut waxes are natural materials and may respond to temperature changes.

  • Minor imperfections after cooling or first burn are cosmetic and expected.

Storage

  • Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

  • Avoid exposure to extreme heat or cold.

Troubleshooting

  • Tunneling: Allow the candle to burn long enough for the wax to melt fully across the surface.

  • Sooting: Trim the wick and avoid drafts.

  • Uneven burn: Ensure the candle is placed on a level surface.

Important Safety Reminder

Never leave a burning candle unattended. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire hazard or injury.
