Candle Care

A candle remembers its first burn. A few quiet habits will help yours burn evenly and safely throughout its life.

Trim the wick to approximately 5 mm before every burn. On the first burn, allow the wax to melt close to the edges of the vessel. Burn for no longer than 3–4 hours at a time, keep the candle away from drafts and place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface.

Stop using the candle when approximately 1 cm of wax remains. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from children and pets.
