We want you to enjoy our candles and all the benefits they offer, while also taking every necessary precaution to ensure that you and your loved ones remain safe. Our candle care instructions are designed to help you use our products responsibly so that you can enjoy the warm and inviting atmosphere they provide, worry-free.

  1. Never leave a burning candle unattended: It is important to never leave a burning candle unattended. Make sure to extinguish the flame before leaving the room or going to bed.

  2. Keep pets and children away from open flames: Candles should be placed in a location where they cannot be knocked over by pets or children. Keep them away from curtains, furniture, and other flammable materials.

  3. Always burn your candle on an even surface: Make sure to place your candle on a level and heat-resistant surface. This will help prevent the candle from tipping over and causing a fire.

  4. Trim the wick to 1/8" before each burn: Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to 1/8 inch. This will help prevent the flame from becoming too large and causing the wax to melt unevenly.

  5. Do not burn for more than 4 hours: To prevent overheating and potential fire hazards, do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Let the candle cool down completely before relighting.
