Candle Care + Safety
Please follow the correct safety measures to ensure you get the most out of your candle.
Along with the importance of safety, the correct care can also prolong the life of your candle
Ensure you trim the wick to approximately 5mm before each burn, this will help for a clean burn and will control the size of the flame on your candle.
Ensure you are in a well-ventilated room away from any drafts and fans, when burning your candle for the first time, as this can cause rapid or uneven burn.
Allow the wax to melt until it reaches the edges of your jar before you extinguish as this will create a candle memory and a clean even burn in the future and help to prevent tunnelling, but never burn your candles longer than 2 hours for small candles, and up to 4 hours for medium and above sized candles.
Always trim the wick after each burn. Always have a minimum 10cm gap between candles for safety.
When there is 1/2 an inch of wax remaining in the jar discontinue use as this will prevent possible damage to the jar or the surface the candle is sitting on.
Never Leave burning candles unattended or use as a night light. When handling your candle when lit or just after, please ensure you hold at the bottom of the glass where it is cooler.
Keep out of the reach of children and pets.
Before and after you purchase one of our candles, please take the time to read the candle safety and care information here including the allergen details, to ensure you get the most out of your new candle.
