Candle Care & Tips


FIRST BURN​

When you first light your candle, allow the wax to melt all the way to the outer edges of the container before extinguishing. Allowing a full pool of melted wax helps create an even burn to maximize the scent throw and prevent tunneling.


BURN SESSIONS

Our candles typically fill a room with their signature scents within 30 minutes to an hour. We recommend burning your candle for 3-4 hours at a time to maximize the longevity of the candle. If it is left burning for longer periods without being allowed to re-solidify, the excessive heat will cause the essential oils to burn through the soy wax at a faster rate. 


LEVEL SURFACE

Always burn candles on a level, heat-resistant surface away from drafts to ensure an even burn pool and to prevent drowning out the wick.
​

SAFETY

Do not leave a burning candle unattended. Always place away from children and pets.


MATCH STICKS

Each candle comes with white-tip, wooden safety matches. Please use responsibly. Keep debris from getting in the wax as it may affect the quality of the burn. Allow used matches to cool completely before discarding. Please avoid using any flawed matchsticks.


CLEANING & REPURPOSING

Always allow the container to cool completely before cleaning. A hot container may crack when exposed to cool water. Gently wash with soap and water to remove any remaining wax. We recommend carefully removing the wick base with a spoon.

Our containers are perfect to be repurposed long after the candle is gone and are the perfect size to hold mini succulents, office supplies, make-up brushes and loose change. The options are endless!
