Candle Care
How should I burn my candle the first time?
Allow the wax to melt across most or all of the surface during the first burn. A full melt pool helps the candle burn more evenly during future use.
How long should I burn my candle at one time?
For the best performance, burn your candle for approximately 2 to 4 hours at a time.
How short should I trim my candle wick?
Trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch before each burn.
Why is candle care important?
Proper candle care helps your candle burn more evenly, reduces excess soot, and helps you get the most from its burn time.
Why does my soy candle sometimes look different after burning?
Natural wax blends can develop changes in texture or appearance after heating and cooling. These cosmetic changes do not necessarily affect the candle's performance or fragrance.
