Candle care.

We want you to enjoy our candles cleaner, longer, and safer

To ensure that you are receiving the best experience with our candles, we recommend following our candle care guide below:

  • During the first burn, light your candle for at least 2 hours

  • Allow wax to melt to the edge of the glass during the first burn to prevent tunneling

  • Always trim your candle wick 1/4'' after each burn. This helps prevent soot buildup and extends the life of your candle!

  • Do not burn candles near a draft. Keep candles away from curtains or anything that could ignite (books, sheets, curtains, clothing, etc.)

  • Don’t throw away containers! We recommend repurposing our products to create your own keepsake

We caution you to avoid burning your candle for more than 3 or 4 hours at a time! Keep children, pets, and any flammable objects away from flame and be sure to never leave your candle unattended!
