Candle Safety & Care

Our handcrafted sculptured candles are predominantly designed to be an interior statement in your home or desired space. Using a natural soy wax blend and high quality cotton wicks, we ensure that an even and long lasting burn time is provided with our candles.

Note, as each of our candles are handmade items, colour and slight imperfections will vary. Frosting occurs naturally with soy wax and this does not affect the overall function of your candle.

Each candle is unique in the way it burns. To have a safe, long lasting, and clean burn, we recommend the following tips:

FIRST BURN

  • Before lighting your candle, place it on a flat dish or candle plate to collect any dripping wax.

  • Light your candle in a well-ventilated safe space.

  • Let the candle burn for at least 1 hour so that a melt pool is created.  Monitor the candle regularly.

  • Always remember to safely extinguish your candle. You can use a candle snuffer to do this. 

  • Never leave a candle unattended. 

ONGOING BURNS

  • Before relighting your candle, we recommend that you trim the wick 2-3cm from the surface of the wax to ensure a consistent, smoke-free flame.

  • Do not burn your candle for more than 3 hours at a time.

  • When not in use, please place the candle away from direct sunlight or heat sources.

CANDLE SAFETY

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.
  • Keep away from flammable objects.
  • Never move a burning candle.
  • Keep candle out of reach from children and pets. 
  • Keep out of direct sunlight to avoid discolouration.

 

FAUX FUR CANDLE CARE

Our Faux Fur covers are completely for ornamental purposes.

Before you light your beautifully scented candle please remove the lid and keep it at least 2 meters away from the candle.

We are doing our best to provide completely cleaned and covered lids before dispatching them.

Please also remove the dust cover and check If there are any hair fibres before lighting the candle. PLEASE remove any fur fibres debris. If any fibres  are left it would cause a distinctive smell and it would be dangerous. 

Once you have put the candle out please make sure it’s completely cooled down minimum of 1hrs before you put back the cover on again.

For the first burn, burn an even wax pool across the surface of the candle. Never burn for longer than four hours at a time. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Trim down your wick to 1/4 inch before each burn.  Easy wash with warm water, to reuse the jar after the last burn. Please check our Sustainability Manifesto for some ideas.
