Candle Care

Our candles are made with a skin-safe coconut apricot wax, ensuring a clean, toxin-free burn. They are free from parabens, phthalates, gluten, Prop 65 compliant, no carcinogens, mutagens, or additives as well as vegan + cruelty free.

Each hand-poured candle also contains an additive-free wooden wick which adds style, creates a long burn time, and produces a nice gentle multi-sensory crackle that enhances the atmosphere in any room.

You'll have the best experience and prolong the life of your candle by following our candle care guidelines: 

 

FIRST BURN WITH A WOODEN WICK: 
When lighting a wood wick candle, the best technique is to tilt it on an angle and let the flame draw across the length of the wick (kind of like how you tilt a match after lighting). It may also take several tries to get it lit - that's okay! With a new, unburned wick, it needs to draw the wax up through the wick before it will start burning nicely.

Keep in mind - it's not the wood that is fueling your burn - it's actually the wax. Keeping your wick trimmed to 1/8" means that the flame is kept nice and low to the wax allowing it to bring the wax up through the wick. A wick that is too long will not stay lit because it can't effectively reach it's waxy fuel source.

 

TRIM THE WICK

Trim off any uneven burnt wood from previous use before lighting, this makes it easier to light your wooden wick. Keep the wick trimmed to 1/4” at all times for best practice. 

 

LET THE WAX POOL

When you first light the candle, allow to burn for approx 2 hours. Then, each time you light your candle, let the candle burn until the wax melts across the entire surface area - this will avoid tunnelling.

 

CHECK THE TIME

Burn your candle for up to a maximum of four hours at a time.

 

BURN IT SAFELY

Always burn your candle on a stable and heat-resistant surface, avoid drafts, keep away from children and pets, and never leave your candle unattended

 

STORAGE

Keep your candles in a cool + dry location and avoid sunbeams that can warm and melt the wax unevenly.

 

KNOW WHEN TO SAY GOODBYE

When only 1/2” of wax remains in your candle jar, it’s time to say goodbye. You can use a butter knife or spoon to remove any remaining wax then wash in hot water. Let dry and repurpose your jar.
