Before Lighting:

Trim the Wick: Before each burn, gently remove only the tip of the carbon buildup to maintain a clean, steady flame and minimize soot.

Let the Candle Cool: Always allow the candle to return to room temperature before trimming the wick again.

Place on a Stable Surface: Set your candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface, away from drafts or airflow.

Safe for Skin: Our coconut–soy blend melts into a warm, nourishing oil that can be applied to elbows, knees, feet, and other dry areas using the wooden spatula.

Keep Safe: Keep candles out of reach of children and pets at all times.

While Burning:

Let It Pool: On the first burn, allow the wax to melt fully to the edges of the vessel (approximately 2–3 hours) to ensure an even burn and prevent tunneling.

Burn Time: Burn for no more than 3–4 hours at a time for optimal performance.

Do Not Disturb the Flame: Avoid touching or moving the candle while lit or when the wax is still melted.

Burning Multiple Candles: Keep candles at least three inches apart to ensure proper airflow and safety.

Enjoy the Scent: Allow the fragrance to gently unfold and fill your space.

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
  1. Light your candle and allow a pool of melted wax to form.
  2. Dip the wooden spatula into the melted wax.
  3. Apply to dry areas—elbows, knees, feet, or hands.
  4. Massage gently. The warm oils absorb quickly, leaving the skin silky and soft.

Why It Works

  1. Coconut–soy wax warms at a low, skin-safe temperature.
  2. Natural oils lock in moisture
  3. Light scent creates a spa-like experience.

Safety Notes

  1. Only apply wax while fully melted.
  2. Avoid pouring wax directly onto the skin—use the spatula.
  3. Do not touch the flame or move the candle.
  4. Keep out of reach of children and pets during use.
