Candle Care & Safety

Creating a calm, safe space is at the heart of what we do. Please follow these simple guidelines to get the most from your candle:

General Safety

  • Never burn for more than 4 hours at a time

  • Always keep candles within sight while burning

  • Keep away from children, pets, drafts, and flammable materials

  • DO NOT use with a candle lamp while the candle flame is lit

  • Candle lamps should ONLY be used when the flame is extinguished

  • DO NOT place under any covering or enclosed area that could trap heat

Cotton Wick Care

  • Trim wick to ¼ inch before each burn

  • If the flame becomes too high or begins to smoke:

    • Extinguish the candle

    • Let it cool completely

    • Trim the wick before relighting

    • If your wick(s) are trimmed too short, they may have trouble staying lit. If this happens, go ahead and light the wick(s) and allow the wax to melt around them. Then extinguish the flame.

      Using a wick dipper or the edge of a small knife, carefully remove a small amount of the softened wax from around each wick to expose a little more of the wick. Once the wax has cooled slightly, relight and enjoy!

Wood Wick Care

  • Your wick is pre-trimmed for the first burn

  • Before each burn after that, gently remove the charred portion by pinching it off with your fingers. Or, if you prefer, a pair of wick trimmers works beautifully as well. Simply place the trimmers over the hardened wax and trim the wick. Most wick trimmers are designed to trim to approximately 1/8", making it easy to maintain the proper height and keep your wood wick ready for its next burn.

  • If your wick is trimmed too short, it may have trouble staying lit. If this happens, go ahead and light the wick and allow the wax to melt around it. Then extinguish the flame.

Burn Guidance

  • Allow your candle to burn for a full 4 hours on the first burn

  • A full melt pool may take 3–4 burns - this is a natural characteristic of coconut wax and part of a slower, more intentional burn
