Candle Care & Safety

Care for the Cleanest Burn
  1. First Burn Matters: Allow the wax to melt completely to the edges (2–3 hours) during the first burn. This sets the candle’s memory and prevents tunneling.
  2. Trim the Wick: Before each light, trim or pinch your wood wick to about 1/8–1/4 inch (3–6mm). This ensures a steady flame and reduces smoke.
  3. Burn Window: Burn for no more than 2–4 hours at a time. Allow the candle to cool before relighting.
  4. Stop at the Base: Discontinue use when about 1/2 inch (12mm) of wax remains at the bottom.

Safety Guidelines
  • Burn candles within sight — never leave them unattended.
  • Keep away from flammable materials, drafts, pets, and children.
  • Place candles on a heat-resistant, stable surface.
  • Never move a lit candle. Wait until the wax has cooled and solidified before handling.
  • Do not burn for more than 4 hours continuously.
  • Containers may become hot — handle with care.
