First Burn & Melt Pool

Allow your candle to burn long enough on the first use to create a full, even melt pool that reaches the edge of the jar - typically 2 to 4 hours, depending on the candle’s diameter. This prevents tunnelling and sets the stage for smooth, even burns thereafter.

Wick Trimming

Before each lighting, trim the wooden wick to between 3 mm and 6 mm (1/8–1/4 in). This encourages a steady flame, minimises soot, and enhances fragrance release.

Burn Time Management

Ideal burn sessions last 2 to 4 hours. Avoid burning longer than 4 hours to protect the wax and vessel, and never burn a candle down to the very base - leave at least 6 mm of wax in the jar.

Even, Safe Burning

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

Wooden Wick Tips

  • Remove any charred wick debris after extinguishing and before relighting - it improves performance and keeps the flame clean.
  • If the flame flickers or struggles, check that the wick is properly trimmed and not buried in wax.

Aftercare & Jar Reuse

When fully extinguished and cooled (< 30 °C), your candle may be reused:

  1. Let the remaining wax solidify.
  2. Pour in hot water, allow cooling, then remove the wax disc.
  3. Wash with warm, soapy water - never use a dishwasher.
  4. Inspect the jar for safety before relighting or refilling, and discard if cracked or chipped
