CANDLE CARE

Our all-natural candles are inherently more nuanced than mass-produced alternatives. Crafted without chemical stabilizers or synthetic additives, they rely on the natural behavior of wax, fragrance, and wick to perform as intended. This is what gives them their depth, purity, and character, but it also means they benefit from thoughtful care. When burned with intention, an all-natural candle rewards you with a cleaner flame, a more refined scent, and a longer, more beautiful life.

To achieve the maximum life and performance from your candle, each burn should be long enough for the wax to melt fully to the edges of the vessel. We advise against short burn sessions, as they can prevent an even melt pool from forming and may shorten the overall life of the candle.

Our wax is crafted from all-natural, non-GMO ingredients and contains no chemical additives. Because of this, the first burn is the most important. It establishes the wax memory and sets the foundation for how your candle will perform over time. Creating a full melt pool on the initial burn may take up to three to four hours; however, do not burn for longer than four hours at a time.

Before each lighting, trim the wick to ¼ inch. Maintaining proper wick length supports a clean, controlled flame and helps regulate heat output, preventing excess smoking, sooting, or accelerated wax consumption. Our soft cotton wicks can be easily trimmed with small scissors or by hand once the candle has fully cooled.

Burning beyond the recommended four-hour maximum, failing to maintain proper wick length, or repeated overburning may cause excessive heat buildup. This can lead to fragrance degradation, wick instability, and increased heat transfer to the vessel. As our vessels are handcrafted from natural materials, prolonged or repeated overheating may, in some cases, result in surface changes, hairline cracking, or structural damage. Variations in material response are inherent and are not considered defects.

Always burn your candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface and away from drafts. Please refer to the safety information on the base of the vessel for complete guidance.
