Candle care

Care for your candle

A few gentle rituals to make your candle last and burn safely.

1

First burn

On the first light, let the candle burn until the entire top surface melts (about 2-3 hours). This prevents a "memory ring" and ensures an even burn over time.

2

Trim the wick

Before every burn, trim the wick to about 5 mm. This gives a cleaner flame and less soot.

3

Burn time

Never burn for more than 4 hours at a time. Let the candle cool fully before relighting.

4

Safety

Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from children and pets. Burn on a heat-safe, level surface, away from flammable materials.

5

Storage

Store in a cool place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

6

Final moments

When about 1 cm of wax remains at the bottom, do not relight. The glass can be cleaned and kept for dried flowers, plants, or little keepsakes.
