Candle Care

Our candles are hand-poured with coconut apricot wax and wooden wicks for a slow, beautiful burn and smooth melt pool. Coconut apricot wax has a lower melting point than many traditional waxes and is known for its creamy appearance and excellent fragrance performance.

The First Burn

On your first burn, allow your candle enough time to develop a generous melt pool before extinguishing, without exceeding 4 hours. The wax does not need to completely reach edge-to-edge on the first burn. A small amount of wax remaining along the sides of the vessel is normal.

A Little Wax on the Sides Is Normal

Coconut apricot wax may naturally leave a thin layer of wax, or hang-up, along the sides of the vessel during the first several burns. This is not necessarily tunneling. As the candle burns deeper into the vessel, heat builds along the glass and can gradually pull the remaining wax into the melt pool.

There is no need to force a full edge-to-edge melt pool on every burn.

Trim Your Wooden Wick

Before each burn, gently remove the charred portion of the wooden wick, leaving approximately ⅛–¼ inch. Keeping your wick properly trimmed encourages a steady flame and helps minimize soot.

Burn Slowly

For the best performance, burn your candle for no more than 4 hours at a time. Longer burn sessions can cause the vessel to become excessively hot and affect the candle’s performance.

Keep It Safe

Always burn your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, children, pets, and flammable objects. Never leave a burning candle unattended.

Know When to Say Goodbye

Discontinue burning when approximately ½ inch of wax remains at the bottom of the vessel. Burning a candle beyond this point can cause the vessel to become excessively hot.

With proper care, a little wax left behind early in the burn will often take care of itself. Let the candle do the work.
