Candle Care
By following these candle care guidelines, you’ll ensure a safe and enjoyable experience with your soy wax candle while maximizing its burn time and fragrance throw. Enjoy the soothing ambiance and captivating scents that these candles offer. To ensure optimal performance and maximize the enjoyment of your soy wax candle, here are some important candle care tips
#1
Trim the wick
Before lighting your soy wax candle, always trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch (0.6 cm). This helps to prevent excessive smoking, uneven burning, and ensures a clean and steady flame.
First burn
When you light your soy wax candle for the first time, allow it to burn until the entire surface has melted into a pool of wax. This process, known as a “memory burn,” helps to prevent tunneling and promotes an even burn throughout the life of the candle.

Burn time
It’s recommended to burn your soy wax candle for no more than 2 hours at a time. This helps to prevent overheating of the container and ensures a longer lifespan for your candle.
Avoid drafts
Keep your soy wax candle away from drafts, such as open windows or fans, as they can cause uneven burning and may lead to wax pooling or dripping.

Safety first
Always place your soy wax candle on a heat-resistant surface and keep it away from flammable materials. Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
Extinguishing the flame
To extinguish your soy wax candle, use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame. Avoid blowing directly into the candle, as this can cause hot wax to splatter.
