How do I get the most out of my candle?

We recommend burning your candle for at least 1-2 hours at a time, allowing the wax to melt evenly across the surface of the candle. This will help prevent tunneling and extend the life of your candle. Always trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before lighting to ensure a clean, even burn and be sure to keep the wax pool clear of any debris or wick trimmings. When not in use, it is best to store your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. This will help prevent the wax from melting or discoloring.

Are your candles pet safe?

All candles, scented or not, have the potential to be harmful to pets. However, since this is not our field of expertise, we encourage you to consult an animal professional for further guidance.

How should I burn my candle safely?

Always light your candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface and keep it away from pets and children. Never leave your candle unattended for any reason and we recommend not burning your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.
