Your first burn sets the memory of your candle.
Allow the melt pool to reach the edge of the vessel — usually 2 to 3 hours, maximum of 4 hours.
This prevents tunnelling and supports an even, long-lasting burn.
Burn your candle in 2–3 hour intervals.
Long burns can overheat the vessel, while short burns create uneven wax.
Give your candle time to rest between burns to preserve scent quality.
Trim your wick to 5mm before each burn.
A trimmed wick keeps the flame steady, reduces soot, and helps your candle last longer.
Remove any mushrooming before lighting.
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Keep away from children, pets, drafts, and flammable materials.
Stop burning when 1cm of wax remains to protect the vessel and surface.
Crystal Candles Only:
Your crystal may gently shift position as the wax melts — this is normal.
Once your candle is complete and the wax has cooled, remove the crystal, rinse it in warm soapy water, and recharge it with sunlight, moonlight, or intention.
For the cleanest finish, use a snuffer rather than blowing out your candle.
This helps maintain the wick and prevents wax splatter.
Store your candle in a cool, dry space away from direct sunlight.
High heat can fade natural oils and alter the scent.
