CANDLE CARE
To get the most out of your new aromatherapy candle, it is helpful to follow a few tips and tricks:
BEFORE USE
Before re-lighting your candle, ALWAYS trim your wick to 1/4". This prevents soot build-up and mushrooming of the wick. It also allows for a slower burn.
DURING USE
NEVER burn your candle for more than 3 hours at a time.
When lighting your candle for the first time, and EACH TIME thereafter, allow the wax to melt all the way out to the edge of its container (typically for 2 to 3 hours). This helps prevent "memory rings" and tunnelling, promoting an even burn.
Always be sure to burn your candle on an even-levelled surface, away from any drafts or other heat sources. Otherwise, your candle may burn unevenly and quicker than usual.
Never leave a burning candle unattended or within reach of flammable objects, children or pets.
When you have 1/2" of wax left at the bottom of your candle, it's time to say goodbye. It's important not to burn your candle completely, as it may cause the container to overheat.
AFTER USE
Always allow your candle to cool for at least 2 hours between each burn.
STORAGE
Keep your candle away from direct sunlight and hot environments, as this may cause defects in candle performance and/or appearance.
