Candle care advice

First burn

The first burn of your candle should be for at least two to three hours in the beginning. This is to ensure that the wax melts perfectly and levels nicely. When the candle is uneven also known as ‘tunneling’ it really reduces the lifespan of the candle. This problem can sometimes be fixable if you let the candle burn for a while the next time.

Wick trimming

Once your candle has cooled you will want to trim the wick, ideally using a wick trimmer (you can also pinch off the excess wick with your fingers). You should always leave approximately 4mm of wick and just remove the excess soot head from the previous burn. Keeping the wick at the correct length will help your candle burn evenly, preventing it from burning too fast. A shorter wick does a better job at creating a pool of wax, which is where the fragrance comes from. 

Storing a candle

Candle waxes are sensitive to heat and light. So it’s important to be mindful of how you store the candles. It’s best to keep them in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight. This will make sure you can enjoy your candle’s fragrance to the fullest.

When to stop burning

Always stop burning your candle when approximately 10mm of wax is left and never leave a lit candle unattended.
