Candle Safety & Care

  • On every burn allow the wax to fully melt to the edge of the jar for the best performance of your candle.
  • Keep your wick trimmed by trimming off the top black bits of the wick with your fingers, or use nail clippers to shorten the wick to be about 1/8″ – 3/16″.
  • On every new burn, re-trim the wick to about 1/8″ – 3/16" the shorter height allows the wax to capillary up the wick to feed the flame properly.
  • If the wick is too long then it will not burn properly and eventually go out
  • Always keep a burning candle within sight
  • Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire
  • Keep burning candles out of the reach of children and pets
  • Always use a candleholder or vessel specifically designed for the heat of candle use
  • Always burn candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface
  • Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches and debris
  • Always read and follow the manufacturer’s use and safety instructions carefully.
  • Keep burning candles away from drafts, vents, ceiling fans and air currents
  • Always burn candles in a well-ventilated room
  • Do not burn a candle all the way down (leave 2” for pillars or ½” for containers)
  • Never touch or move a burning candle.
  • Place burning candles at least three inches apart from one another.
  • Use a snuffer to extinguish a candle.
  • Never extinguish candles with water - oil and water DON’T mix!
  • Extinguish a candle if it repeatedly smokes or the flame becomes too high
  • Be very careful if using candles during a power outage
