Candle Care

Candle Safety

Each candle includes care and lighting instructions on the bottom label. Candles add a fragrant enhancement to living and work spaces and are safe to enjoy, but we encourage care and attention to the following guidelines:

• Always burn candles in a well-ventilated room and on a heat-resistant surface.
• Do not leave a burning candle unattended.
• Avoid drafts, vents, ceiling fans or other moving air pathways to encourage even burning and minimize smoke or a flickering wick.
• Never touch a burning candle or move a candle when the wax is liquid.
• Never extinguish candles with water.
• Make sure a candle is completely extinguished before leaving the room.
• Keep candles out of the reach of small children and pets.
• Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire.

Burning Your Candle

• Always trim your wick to 1/8” - 1/4” before lighting. Every time. Your candle will burn longer, cleaner and more evenly.
• For the initial burn, allow the candle to create a full melted wax pool across the entire candle. This will ensure even burning and maximum fragrance release for the life of your candle and is typically achieved within 3 hours.
• For subsequent lightings we recommend a burn time of 3-4 hours, fully melting the wax across the top each time. If you like to leave a candle burning for an extended time, we strongly recommend extinguishing the flame, trimming the wicks and relighting every 3-4 hours. This will prolong the burn time and reduce the possibility of excess carbon buildup on the wick tip.
• If your wick begins smoking or flickering excessively, extinguish the flame and trim the wick – then relight the candle.
• Keep the wax pool clear of wick trimmings, matches and debris at all times.
• Use care when extinguishing the candle; a short, directed puff of air aimed at each wick is usually sufficient.
• Do not move candles until the wax is cooled and set. Use caution as containers can be hot to the touch.
• Discard candles when there is 1/4 inch of wax remaining.
