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.
