Candle Care & Safety

A little care for every glow

Enjoy your handmade, hand-poured candle with care. Please read the safety label supplied with your candle before lighting it. Always follow its product-specific instructions, including wick trimming, maximum burn time, and when to stop using the candle.

Before lighting

Remove all packaging and any decorative materials not intended to be burned.
Place your candle upright on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, curtains, and anything that could catch fire.
Keep the wax free of matches, wick trimmings, and other debris.
Check the candle and its container before use. Do not burn a candle in a cracked or damaged container.
Prepare and trim the wick according to the instructions supplied with your candle.

While your candle is burning

Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish it before leaving the room or going to sleep.
Keep burning candles out of reach of children and pets.
Keep candles apart so they do not heat one another, following the spacing instructions on their labels.
Never touch or move a candle while it is burning or while the wax is liquid. Containers can become hot.
Do not exceed the maximum burn time stated on the safety label.
If the flame becomes unusually high, flickers persistently, or produces excessive smoke, extinguish the candle and allow it to cool before checking the wick and surroundings.

After each use

Use a suitable candle snuffer to extinguish the flame. Never use water.
Make sure the flame is completely extinguished.
Allow the wax and container to cool fully before touching, moving, or relighting the candle.
Stop using your candle at the point specified on its safety label. Do not burn it down to the bottom of the container.
