Candle care

Pillar candles

Our pillar candles are mostly decorative pieces. However, if you wish to burn them then please ensure you read and follow our guidelines to best care for your candles. 

• Always place your candle on a heat resistant plate or dish to catch dripping wax and prevent colour leaching
• Trim the wick to 5mm before every burn, which will provide a cleaner, brighter flame
• Ensure you also remove any wick debris as this can disturb the burning of the candle 
• Do not leave your candle burning unattended, and ensure they are lit away from flammable objects
• Burn for no longer than 2 hours at a time
• Keep out of reach of children and pets
• Keep your candle in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, dust and fluorescent light

Please also not that due to the nature of soy wax, frosting is very common. This will not affect the burning of your candle however you can gently wipe away the frosting with a clean finger if you wish.

Container candles 

• On your first burn, ensure you light your candle for at least 3-4 hours to allow for an even melt across the candle and avoid tunnelling
• Container candles have a memory, and will only ever continue to melt to the initial wax pool!
• Always burn on a flat and stable surface
• Ensure you trim your wick to 5mm before each burn
• Do not burn your container candles for more than 4 hours at a time
• Discontinue candle use once wax is 10mm from the bottom. This prevents heat damage and possible  cracking of glass 
• Minimise draughts and ensure your candle is lit in a well ventilated room, free from flammable objects
• Store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• For best results, use a candle snuffer  to extinguish flames. This prevents spreading of charred wood and wick debris
