Candle Care

All of our soy wax candles, on the Classic and HI-FI lines, are made with fragrance oils that comply with strict IFRA safety standards, are free of Prop 65 ingredients, and are made without parabens and phthalates. Still, pets are sensitive to scent. Always burn candles in a well-ventilated room, away from curious noses, wagging tails, and open windows where they could be knocked over. When in doubt, skip burning in small enclosed spaces with animals present.

Candle Care Tips

• Trim the wick to ¼ inch before every burn to prevent soot and smoking.
• Let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the vessel during the first burn to avoid tunneling.
• Burn on a stable, heat-safe surface away from drafts, vents, or fans.
• Keep lit candles within sight and away from flammable materials like dried florals, books, and curtains.
• Stop burning when only ¼ inch of wax remains. When the wick reaches the metal part of the wick called the shim, it should automatically self-extinguish if trimmed properly.
• If your wick is shaped like a mushroom or curled over on itself (piggy tailing), be sure to trim before burning. Failure to do so could cause the wick to double in size, which could create unsafe conditions or cause the candle to burn more quickly.
• Never touch or move a candle while it’s burning as the heat of the vessel could cause injury.
• To extinguish, use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into melted wax, then straighten it. This reduces smoke and keeps your wick in good shape. Or, blow the candle out and immediately place a lid or coaster over the top to contain smoke.
