Candle Care & Safety

To ensure candle safety and maximise your candle's lifespan, please follow the care and safety instructions below

  • Trim the wick to 5mm before each burn to prevent smoking, sooting and uneven burning.  Our wicks are self trimming but they may need trimming before each burn.
  • Place on a heat resistant, stable surface away from flammable materials
  • Keep the candle away from drafts, children and pets and never leave your candle unattended
  • Burn your candle for 4 hours on the first burn to ensure an even melt pool and avoid tunnelling
  • Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time
  • Keep the wax pool clean of any wick trimmings or matches
  • User a candle snuffer to put out the flame
  • Allow the candle to cool before relighting 
  • Discontinue use of the candle when there is 1cm of wax remaining at the bottom

There may be some unevenness in the cooled wax after burning - this is completely normal and part of the burning process of natural wax.  It doesn't affect the quality or lifespan of the candle so please do not worry - embrace the lumpiness!  

When you have finished with your candle the glass container can be recycled (in line with your local guidelines) or simply wash the jar in warm soapy water to reuse and repurpose.
