A little care goes a long way: follow these simple tips for a clean, even, 40+ hour burn and a jar you’ll want to reuse.

A FEW QUICK TIPS

Trim the wick to 1cm before lighting

First burn: let the wax melt to the edges (about 4 hours)

Keep burns to 2–4 hours at a time

Place on a heat-safe, level surface, away from drafts, children & pet

Never leave a burning candle unattended

FIRST BURN MATTERS

On your first light, let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the jar: this takes around 4 hours. This sets the “melt memory” and helps prevent tunnelling so you enjoy an even, long-lasting burn.

Soy wax has a memory; a full first melt tells it how to behave on future burns.

TRIM LIKE A PRO | WICK CARE

Before every burn, trim the wick to 1cm. A neat wick:

Reduces mushrooming and soot

Keeps the flame steady

Extends total burn time

Use wick trimmers or clean scissors. If the flame grows too high while burning, safely extinguish, let cool, trim, and relight.

BURN TIME & SPACING

Burn in 2–4 hour sessions so the melt pool reaches the edges without overheating the jar.

Always allow the jar to cool fully before moving or relighting.

For the final burn, discontinue use when +/- 1cm of wax remains to protect surfaces from heat.

EXTINGUISHING (GENTLY DOES IT)

Snuffers are best (less smoke, less wick disturbance)

If you blow it out, do so gently and avoid splashing wax

Re-centre the wick while the wax is still warm, if needed

SAFETY FIRST (ALWAYS)

Never leave a burning candle unattended

Keep away from children & pets

Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time

Keep matches and debris out of the wax

Do not use if the jar is cracked or damaged
