To ensure the best experience and a long-lasting burn, follow these care instructions for your natural soy wax candle:

• Trim the Wick: Before lighting, trim the cotton wick to 1/4 inch to prevent soot and ensure a clean, even burn.
• Burn Time: For the first use, let your soy candle burn until the melted wax reaches the edge of the jar (approximately 3-4 hours). This helps prevent tunneling and creates an even burn.
• Safety First: Always burn your candle within sight and keep it away from children, pets, and anything flammable.
• Avoid Drafts: Place your candle in a draft-free area to prevent uneven burning and excessive flickering.
• Extinguish Properly: Use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame. Avoid using the lid to extinguish the candle as it can cause soot build-up.
• Recenter the Wick: After extinguishing the flame, ensure the wick is centered and upright for the next burn.
• Burn Time Limit: Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Allow the candle to cool for at least 2 hours before relighting.
• Reuse the Jar: Once your candle is finished, clean out the jar and repurpose it for storage or decor. Our amber glass jars are perfect for upcycling!
