How To Use Your Candle
Place your candle on a heat-resistant surface before lighting. Trim the wick to around 5 mm each time to promote a clean and even burn. Allow the first burn to reach the edges of the wax pool to prevent tunnelling. Avoid burning the candle for longer than 3 to 4 hours at a time, and extinguish gently, allowing the wax to cool before relighting.
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 away from children, pets, and flammable materials. Avoid moving the candle while the wax is liquid. Do not place on heat-sensitive surfaces. Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

Each candle is crafted with clean filling practices and careful handling of wax and fragrance oils. We use recyclable packaging materials to minimise environmental impact while ensuring your candle arrives in perfect condition.

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.
