Candle Safety & Care

Candle Safety and Care

A little care helps your candle burn evenly, smell its best and last longer.

On the first burn, allow the melted wax to reach close to the edge of the vessel. This helps prevent tunnelling.
Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time.
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Do not move the candle while it is lit or while the wax is liquid.

Stop using the candle when about 10 mm of wax remains at the bottom. Allow the vessel to cool completely before handling it.

Extinguish the candle, let it cool and trim the wick before relighting. A shorter wick helps reduce soot and keeps the flame controlled.
