Candle care

Our pillar candles are meant to be a decorative piece for your home, however if you do decide to light them please ensure you follow our candle care guide below.

We have conducted burn testing on our candle designs, however as each is individually handmade they may burn slightly differently when lit.

If you have any questions, please contact us. 

Burn Time

We advise that you burn your candle for no longer than 2 hours at a time. The first burn is the most important, so please leave your candle to burn for at least thirty minutes to create a sufficient melt pool and make sure your wick is at an appropriate length before lighting.

Wax Drip

Our pillar candles will drip wax when you burn them. We highly recommend placing your candle on a small dish to catch any dripping wax.

Wick Trimming

With any candle, it’s important to trim the wick after each burn. Always blow the candle out, wait for it to cool down and trim the wick to 1/4 of an inch. Keeping a well-trimmed wick can help prevent problems like the candle flame getting too large and creating smoke.

Heat & Light

Please avoid placing the candles in direct sunlight or heat. While we use high quality materials, wax and fragrances are sensitive to temperature and light. Place them away from sunlight to ensure you get the most out of your candle.

General Safety

  • Always place your candle on a flat surface, away from anything flammable.

  • Never leave your candle unattended when lit.

  • A correct candle flame should be constant and not flickering or smoking. Please ensure you have trimmed your wick before the first burn and after each burn.

  • Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
