Perfecting Your First Burn

To ensure a flawless start, let your candle burn until the wax melts evenly across the entire surface during its first use. This can take up to 2 hours. This initial burn is crucial as candles have a "memory," which affects their future burning patterns. Proper first use helps prevent "tunneling," where the wick struggles to stay lit due to uneven melting.

Mind the Wick

Before lighting your candle again, trim the wick to approximately 1/8". You can do this by gently pinching off the charred bits with your fingers once the candle has cooled, or by using a wick trimmer. Our candles are pre-trimmed for your convenience, so they’re ready to use!

Guidelines for Safe Burning

Limit your candle burning to no more than 4 hours at a time. Extended burning can impact the wax quality and reduce the overall lifespan of your candle.

ReUse, RePurpose, Recycle

When only about 1/2" of wax remains in the container, it’s time for a replacement. Our containers are designed to be reused, and cleaning them is simple:

Hot Water Method:

  1. Fill the vessel with boiling water - leave for 30-40 mins.
  2. Once the wax has floated to the surface, use a butter knife to gently break up any remaining wax and remove the wick clip.
  3. Wash the jar with warm, soapy water, and it’s ready to be reused.

Freezer Method:

  1. Place the jar in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  2. Once frozen, use a butter knife to gently break up any remaining wax and remove the wick clip.
  3. Wash the jar with warm, soapy water, and it’s ready to be reused.

Pro Tips for Candle Longevity

  • Keep it cool: Keep your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Burn Responsibly: Always burn your candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface. Never move a lit candle.
  • Safety First: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Always extinguish the flame before leaving the room or going to bed.
  • Avoid Drafts: Keep your candle away from drafts, vents, and fans, which can cause uneven burning and soot.
