Safety guidelines

image

Each Candle add a fragrant enhancement to living and work spaces and are safe to enjoy, but we encourage care and attention to the following guidelines:

Guideline
- Always light candles in a well-ventilated room and on a heat-resistant surface.
- Do not leave a lit candle unattended.
- Avoid drafts, vents, ceiling fans, or other moving airways to encourage even burning and minimize smoke or flickering wicks.
- Never touch a lit candle or move a candle when the wax is liquid.
- Never extinguish candles with water.
- Make sure the candle is completely extinguished before leaving the room.
- Keep candles out of the reach of small children and pets.
- Never light a candle on or near anything that could catch fire.

How do i burn my candle the right way?

image

Before
- Always trim your wick before lighting. Every time. Your candle will burn longer, cleaner and more evenly.

During
- For the initial burn, allow the candle to create a pool of fully melted wax throughout the candle. This will ensure even burning and maximum fragrance release throughout the life of your candle and is typically achieved within 3 hours. For subsequent firings, we fully melt the wax on top each time. If your wick starts to smoke or flicker excessively, extinguish the flame and cut the wick - then relight the candle. Always keep the wax puddle free of shavings, matches and wick debris.

After
- Use care when extinguishing the candle; a short, directed puff of air aimed at each wick is usually sufficient. Alternatively, you can use a candle snuffer. We do not recommend using a candle lid to extinguish the flame as this will trap smoke inside your container.

Tip: To avoid smoke from an extinguished wick, gently bend the wick until it touches the melted wax. This will immediately extinguish any smoke.  Do not move the candles until the wax cools and hardens. Be careful as the containers may be hot to the touch. Always enjoy your candles!
