How To Use Your Candle
Place your candle on a heat-resistant surface away from drafts. Before lighting, trim the wick to approximately 5 mm to ensure a clean, even burn. For the first use, allow the wax to melt evenly to the edges of the jar to prevent tunnelling. Avoid burning for longer than 3 to 4 hours at a time and extinguish gently. Let the wax cool completely 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 away from children, pets, and flammable materials. Do not move the candle while the wax is liquid. Avoid placing on heat-sensitive surfaces. Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to preserve fragrance quality and candle integrity.
