Care, Safety & Ingredients

For a safe and long-lasting burn, keep these tips in mind.

Care Tips

Burn Guide

  • First Burn: Let the wax melt entirely to the edges of the vessel. This prevents "tunneling" and ensures an even burn every time.
  • Trim the Wick: Before each use, trim the wick to about 4-6mm. This keeps the flame steady and prevents black soot.
  • Burn Time: Avoid burning your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.
  • Know When to Stop: Stop using the candle when about 5mm of wax remains to protect your vessel and surfaces.
Safety First

Important

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.
  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • Keep away from anything flammable (like curtains, books, or paper).
  • Always leave 7-10cm between burning candles.
  • Do not place candles in a draught or near a source of heat.
  • Always place candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
  • Wax may drip - always use a candle holder or tray.
  • The wax is not edible - please don't taste it!
Allergy Advice

Please Read
