Ways to guarantee the best performance of your candles
WICK TRIMMING
Trim, Trim, Trim your soy candle! Ensure your wicks are always trimmed! Long wicks can release unburned carbon particles (soot) into the air as visible smoke wisps. To prevent this, trim the wick to ¼ inch before each use. This regulates the wax drawn through the wick for optimal combustion, prolonging your candle's burn time.
CANDLE SAFETY
Burn your candles with safety in mind! Always keep a close eye on a burning candle. Never leave a candle burning unattended, especially while sleeping or when leaving your home. Ensure candles are placed out of reach of children and pets

Burn candle properly the first time
To ensure your candle burns evenly and provides the longest burn time, it's crucial to properly burn it the first time. Here's how:
- Trim the wick to ¼ inch.
- Light the candle with a longer match or lighter, avoiding tilting it to the side when lighting.
- Allow the candle to burn until it forms a full melt pool, where the wax has completely melted to the edge of the container and is 1/8 to ¼ inch deep. This ensures even burning and proper scent dispersion, while preventing tunneling. This typically takes about 1 hour per 1 inch of container diameter (excluding tealights).
- Do not burn longer than 4 hours. Extinguish and allow to cool.
- Continuously trim the wick to ¼ inch and ensure no wick trimmings or debris fall into the candle. Remove any debris if it does fall inside.
