Candle Safety Guide

The First Burn

To ensure a flawless burn and prevent "tunneling," your candle’s first burn is the most important. Please allow the candle to burn until the melted wax pools completely across the entire surface to the edges of the glass (typically 2 to 3 hours). Wax retains a "memory," and this initial step ensures an even, beautiful burn for the life of your candle.

Everyday Rituals & Maintenance

  • Wick Trimming: Before every use, trim the cotton wick to 6mm. This ensures an even melt, prolongs the life of your candle, and prevents the flame from burning too hot.

  • Extinguishing: To preserve the integrity of the fragrance and prevent black smoke, always use a candle snuffer to gently extinguish the flame rather than blowing it out.

  • Knowing When to Say Goodbye: Discontinue use when there is exactly 15mm of wax remaining at the bottom of the jar. Continuing to burn past this point can cause the glass vessel to overheat and potentially crack.

Placement & Safety

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.

  • Always keep burning candles strictly out of reach of children and pets.

  • Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface. (Please note: The wooden base provided with select candles is purely ornamental and should be placed on a protective plate).

  • Keep your candle away from open windows, drafts, and fans. Wind causes uneven burning and decreases the lifespan of the candle.

  • Do not burn your candle for more than 3 hours at a time. Allow the vessel to cool completely before handling.

Botanical & Crystal Collections

  • Dried Flower Candles: We highly recommend using our Dried Flower Scented Candles for decorative purposes. If you choose to burn them, you must completely remove the dried botanicals before lighting the wick to prevent them from catching fire.

  • Crystal Candles: Once your Crystal Healing Candle has reached the end of its life, the remaining crystals can be safely removed, washed, and kept as beautiful decorative keepsakes.

Temperature & Light Preservation

  • Yellowing: If your candle wax begins to turn slightly yellow, do not worry. This is a natural reaction to oxygen or direct sunlight and does not affect the quality or burn of the fragrance. To prevent this, store your candles in a cool, dark place.

  • Hanging Diffusers: Please note that our Diffuser Ornaments have a melting point of 45°C. Ensure they are kept in cool environments and away from direct, intense heat to preserve their form.
