How To Use Your Candle
Place your candle on a heat-resistant surface before lighting. Trim the wick to approximately 5 mm each time to ensure a clean burn. Allow the candle to burn long enough during the first use to melt the wax evenly to the edges of the jar, preventing tunnelling. Avoid burning for longer than three to four hours at a stretch. When extinguishing, do so gently and allow the wax to cool before relighting.
Care, Safety And Storage
For external use only. Do not apply wax or fragrance to skin. Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep it away from children, pets, and flammable materials. Do not move the candle while the wax is liquid and avoid placing it on heat-sensitive surfaces. Store the candle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to preserve its quality.

Do not store candles inside parked vehicles or in areas that become very hot, especially during South African summers. Keep out of reach of children and pets and away from food, food preparation areas and open flames when not in use.
