Product Care

  • When lighting for the first time, burn until the wax melts across entire surface to the sides of the candle (approx. 2-4 hours for jars and 1-2 hours for tins). This prevents tunneling and creates an even burn for the duration of the candle’s ‘life.'
  • Keep your wick trimmed to 1/4" to promote an even burn, steady flame and limit sooting/mushrooming. This is best achieved using a wick trimmer.
    • Always burn your candle within sight.
    • Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.
    • Be sure to burn your candle on a fire resistant surface. 
    • Extinguish your candle with a snuffer or dip the wick into melted wax and then straighten wick to prevent smoking and also prevent hot wax from splattering. Please avoid blowing your candle out.
    • Drafts decrease a candle's burn time, cause uneven burning, smoking, and diminished scent throw.
    • For maximum fragrance, keep windows/doors closed and burn in desired space for 30 minutes before entering.
    • Efficient burning means the flame is teardrop shaped, not flickering (unless it's a wood wick), and facing upright.
    • Always use caution! The container may become hot while burning.
    • Keep away from flammable objects, children, pets, and drafts.
    • If soot forms on the inside of the candle, extinguish the candle, wait for it to cool, and then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Trim wick and relight.
    • Keep the wax pool free of matches, wick trimmings, and debris at all times.
    • Discontinue use when 1/4" of wax is left.
    • Once your candle is done, please re-purpose your container. Instructions are located under our FAQ page.

    Wood Wick

      • Please keep your wood wick trimmed to 1/8" (preferred) or 3/8" each time you light to promote an even burn and steady flame.
      • If you notice the wick is becoming unruly or too big, simply extinguish your candle, allow it to cool, and trim your wick.
      • Trimming can be done with either a wick trimmer (best) or pinching off the burnt part with your fingers after each burn. 
      • Please do not extinguish your candle with the wood lid.

        Wax Melt

            • To prevent fire or injury, remove packaging before use.
