Candle Care

To ensure you have the best experience with your artisan candle, please follow the guidelines below:

Trim your wick to ¼” - ½” with a wick trimmer or small scissors. Wick trimmers available here.

The first time you burn your candle, be sure to let it burn so that the “simmer pool” (melted wax) reaches the edges of the vessel. Wax has a memory and if the candle is extinguished before the simmer pool reaches the edges, it will be difficult for the candle to burn properly later. Before re-lighting your candle, be sure to trim the wick again, including any “mushroom” that has formed. This will ensure a controlled flame and help your candle to last longer.

To prevent soot, especially in jar candles, use a long handled lighter, like our Rechargeable Candle Lighter, to light your candle.

To reuse or repurpose a standard jar candle vessel, simply place in the freezer for a couple hours and pop the wax out. Expert Tip: Any remaining wax can be used in a wax warmer for extended fragrance!


 

SAFETY TIPS:

Do not extinguish candles with water.
Avoid burning candles, especially tapers, in drafty areas.
Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
Keep wax pools free of debris. This includes wick trimmings, dust and matches.
Burn candles within sight and away from items that can catch fire.

Follow additional warnings that accompany each candle's purchase.
