Caring for Your
Fontenelle Candle
Enjoy a clean, long-lasting burn with our coconut–soy wax blend. Follow these steps to make the most of every candle: from the first light to the last moment.
BEFORE YOU LIGHT YOUR CANDLE
- Trim the Wick: Before each burn, trim only the tip of the carbon buildup. This keeps the flame steady and reduces soot.
- Let the Candle Cool: Always allow your candle to cool back to room temperature before trimming again.
- Place on a Stable Surface: Set your candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface, away from drafts.
- Safe for Skin: Our coconut–soy blend melts gently and can be applied to elbows, knees, feet, and dry areas using the wooden spatula.
- Keep Safe: Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
WHILE THE CANDLE IS BURNING
- Let It Pool: On the first burn, allow the wax to melt to the edges of the container (2–3 hours). This prevents tunneling.
- Burn Time: Do not burn for more than 3–4 hours at a time.
- Don’t Touch the Flame: Never touch or move the candle while lit or with melted wax.
- Burning Multiple Candles: Keep candles at least three inches apart.
- Enjoy the Scent: Allow the fragrance to fill the room naturally.
USING YOUR CANDLE AS SKINCARE
How to Use Your Fontenelle Candle as Skincare
Our coconut–soy wax melts at a warm, gentle temperature, making it safe to use on the skin as a nourishing moisturizer.
This creates a beautiful self-care ritual while enjoying your candle.
How to Apply Melted Wax to the Skin
- Light your candle and allow a pool of melted wax to form.
- Dip the wooden spatula into the melted wax.
- Apply to dry areas—elbows, knees, feet, or hands.
- Massage gently. The warm oils absorb quickly, leaving the skin silky and soft.
Why It Works
- Coconut–soy wax warms at a low, skin-safe temperature.
- Natural oils lock in moisture
- Light scent creates a spa-like experience.
Safety Notes
- Only apply wax while fully melted.
- Avoid pouring wax directly onto the skin—use the spatula.
- Do not touch the flame or move the candle.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets during use.
