  • Candle Care

    First Burn

    When you light your candle for the first time, always allow the wax to burn so that it melts across the entire surface and pools to the edges of the container. This will effectively assist in preventing tunnelling and help promote an even burn for the duration of the candle's life.

    Burn Time

    Try to avoid burning candles for more than four hours in one sitting. We suggest that after burning a candle for four hours, you should allow the candle to cool for two hours before relighting.

    Storage

    Candle waxes and fragrances are sensitive to both temperature and light, so take care when storing candles. Try to always store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will always help protect it from discolouration and fading.

    Avoid Drafts

    Avoid drafts, vents or air currents. This will help prevent rapid or uneven burning, sooting, and excessive dripping.

    Safety

    Always place candles in locations that are out of reach of children and pets. Consider elevated surfaces, shelves, or holders that cannot be easily accessed.

    Keep candles away from flammable materials, such as curtains, bedding, or other combustible items.

    Before leaving a room or going to bed, make sure to extinguish all candles.
