How To Use Your Candle
Place your candle on a heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials. Before lighting, trim the wick to about 5 mm to ensure a clean, even flame. For the first burn, allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface to prevent tunnelling.
Burn the candle for no longer than 3 to 4 hours at a time. When extinguishing, do so gently and allow the wax to cool completely before relighting to maintain the candle’s integrity and fragrance.
Care, Safety And Storage
For external use only. Do not apply wax or fragrance directly to the skin. Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep it out of reach of children and pets. Avoid moving the candle while the wax is liquid, and never place it on heat-sensitive surfaces.
Store your candle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to preserve its fragrance and appearance.

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.
