How To Use Your Candle
Place your candle on a heat-resistant surface before lighting. Trim each wick to approximately 5 mm to ensure a clean, even burn. For the first use, allow the wax to melt evenly to the edges to prevent tunnelling. Avoid burning the candle for longer than 3 to 4 hours at a time. To extinguish, gently blow out or use a snuffer, then allow the wax to cool before relighting.
Care, Safety And Storage
For external use only. Do not apply wax or fragrance directly to skin. Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep it out of reach of children and pets. Avoid placing near flammable materials or moving the candle while the wax is liquid. Use on heat-resistant surfaces and store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
