Candle Burning Tips

When enjoying your candle for the first time, burn until the wax has melted the entire surface before extinguishing to ensure that the candle does not “tunnel”. A good melt pool will give off the best fragrance throw.

We recommend burning for a minimum of 4 hours for the large candle jars and 2 hours for candle tins the first time you enjoy your candle to prevent tunneling. It also helps your candle maintain a nice clean burn!

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Always trim the wick to ¼ inch before every burn. Long or crooked wicks can cause uneven burning or flaring.
  • Follow the 2-foot rule by not placing a burning candle within 2 feet of clothing, books, curtains, or other flammable objects.
  • Keep lit candles away from drafts, ceiling fans, and any air currents to keep the flame burning steadily in the center of the candle.
  • Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface to help prevent possible heat damage to counters and table surfaces and prevent glass containers from cracking or breaking.
  • Never touch or move a burning candle. 
  • Don’t burn your candle down to the bottom of the vessel. For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 1/2 inch of wax remains.
  • Always burn candles in a well-ventilated room. Do not burn too many candles in a small room or in a “tight” space where air exchange is limited.
  • Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets.
