Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO CARE FOR MY CANDLE?
Candle Care
- When you first light your candle allow it to burn at least 2-3 hours to ensure the coconut wax melts evenly.
- Trim your wick 1/4 inch before every burn to avoid unnecessary smoke.
- Burn your candle for no more than 4 hours at a time to preserve the fragrance.
- Allow the wax to solidify before relighting.
Safety Tips
- Place candle on heat-resistant surface.
- Burn within sight and extinguish before leaving room.
- Burn candle away from flammable items.
- Keep away from children and pets.
- Do not burn candle when less than 1/4” of wax remains in the glass.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRIM MY CANDLE WICK?
You should always trim away the burnt portion of the wooden wick to 1/4" or shorter before lighting. (Pro-tip: Use an angled wick trimmer for easy candle maintenance.) If your wooden wick is left too long, it may not properly pull up wax and extinguish itself or cause sooting (black smoke). Keeping the wick trimmed ensures you're able to fully enjoy your candle.
WHY DO YOU USE COCONUT WAX IN YOUR CANDLES?
There are a lot of reasons we love coconut wax! It doesn’t produce soot like other candle waxes, it burns longer, and it’s eco-friendly. For more info on why we use coconut wax, check out the benefits here.
