Look after me

  • Natural bloom (a white, powdery film) may form on beeswax. This is not a defect, it is a sign of pure, unadulterated beeswax.

  • Trim wick to 1/4 inch before each lighting to prevent smoking or flickering.

  • For container candles: On first burn, allow wax pool to reach the jar's edge (about 1 hour per inch of diameter) to prevent tunnelling.

  • For pillar candle: On first burn, let it tunnel down the center to start creating its glowing lantern effect. If the wax pool melts too close to breaching the outer wall, blow the candle out immediately 

  • Burn in 1-3 hour sessions. Aviod exceeding 4 hours.

  • Extinguish with the snuffer or soft blow to avoid hot wax splatter.

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent excess bloom or warping.

  • Trim the wick to 5mm before each burn.

Keep it safe

​​

  • Burn only within sight: an unattended candle may tip over or ignite nearby items unnoticed.

​

  • Keep away from children, pets, curtains, paper and furniture: these common fire hazards can easily catch flame.

​

  • Light away from fans, windows and doorways: darts cause uneven burning, smoking, or blow debris into the flame.

​

  • Keep wax pool free of matches, wick trimmings or debris: foreign objects can overheat, catch fire, or cause wax to splatter.

​

  • Stop burning with 1/2 inch wax remaining to prevent container overheating: too little wax can overheat the container or surface, risking fire or cracking.

​

  • Never use water to extinguish, wax may splatter: water makes hot wax splatter violently and may crack glass containers.

​

  • To clean up spilled beeswax, use warm soapy water or place a paper towel over the spot and warm with a hair dryer or iron (low heat).
