How To Use Your Candle
Place your candle on a heat-resistant surface before lighting. Trim each wick to approximately 5 mm to encourage a clean, even flame. Allow the candle to burn until the wax melts evenly across the surface on the first use to prevent tunnelling. Avoid burning for longer than 3 to 4 hours at a time and extinguish the flame 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 out of reach of children and pets. Avoid placing near flammable objects or on heat-sensitive surfaces. Do not move the candle while the wax is still liquid. Store the candle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
