How do I care for my candle?Updated 4 months ago

To get the most out of your candle - and enjoy a clean, even burn - it’s important to follow a few simple care steps. These tips will help extend the life of your candle and ensure a safe, beautiful experience.

First burn matters

• When lighting your candle for the first time, let it burn until the wax melts evenly across the entire surface (this may take 2–3 hours).

• This sets the “memory” of the candle and helps prevent tunneling, where wax builds up around the edges and wastes product.

Trim your wick

• Before each burn, trim the wick to 5mm

• A trimmed wick creates a cleaner, safer flame and reduces smoke, soot, or mushrooming

• Use wick trimmers or small scissors - and let the wax cool before trimming

Burn time guidelines

• Don’t burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time

• Always allow the candle to cool before re-lighting

• Never leave a burning candle unattended or near flammable items

Reuse your jar

• Once your candle is finished, don’t toss the jar!

• To clean: place the jar in warm water or freeze briefly to loosen leftover wax

• Use the jar as a makeup brush holder, jewellery pot, or plant pot – perfect for giving your space a second glow ✨
