CANDLE BURNING TIPS AND TRICKS
HOW TO PROPERLY BURN AND CARE FOR A CANDLE.
To properly burn a candle and get the approximate burn time, you must achieve a full melt pool each and every time you light it. This will prevent tunneling, when a candle burns a hole straight down its middle and the edges and sides are left unmelted.
WOODEN WICK CANDLES
With a lighter, not a match, light the wooden wick at the base where the wood meets the wax. To get a good flame it will take at least 5 seconds. Burn the candle until a full melt pool is present (total liquid wax on the top surface). Depending on the size of the candle this will take approximately 1 1/2 hours.
Before your next burn of that candle, be sure that the surface is level, no tunneling, and scrape any charred wood off of the wick with a spoon as you hold the jar upside down over your sink.
Light & Enjoy!
COTTON WICK CANDLES
Be sure the cotton wicks are trimmed to a maximum length of 1/4 inch. Light and burn all wicks until you have achieved a full melt pool. Creating a full melt pool is critical every time you light the candle.
Burn lighting the next time, pinch off excess charred wick and clean the inside of the jar with a cloth.

6 ESSENTIAL TIPS TO KNOW ABOUT CANDLES
WAX:
The best non-toxic waxes for candles are typically soy, coconut, and beeswax. These natural waxes are preferred because they are free from harmful additives and chemicals often found in paraffin wax, providing a cleaner and healthier burning experience. Additionally, they tend to burn more cleanly and evenly, releasing fewer toxins into the air compared to synthetic alternatives.
VESSEL:
Consider the material of the vessel when choosing a candle. A thicker glass vessel will help you avoid getting burned and provide better insulation for heat retention, ensuring a more even and efficient burn. Beyond glass, ceramic or metal containers can provide better heat resistance and stability, reducing the risk of accidents Wick: Cotton wicks are best if you want to avoid soot. Cotton is a natural, clean-burning material that produces minimal residue when ignited. Unlike some synthetic wicks, which may contain additives or chemicals that contribute to soot formation, cotton wicks are less likely to emit black smoke or leave sooty deposits on surfaces, resulting in a cleaner and healthier environment for you and your home.
SCENT:
When it comes to scent, prioritize candles fragranced with essential oils over synthetic fragrances. Candles scented with synthetic fragrances can emit potentially harmful chemicals and may not provide the same natural and holistic aromatherapy benefits as those made with essential oils. Just be sure that when buying candles scented with essential oils, you check to ensure the scent is safe for your animals.
INGREDIENTS:
If you can't find the ingredients listed on the candle in the store, you can typically visit the manufacturer's website to access the product and view the complete list of ingredients included. Instructions: Different candles have varying optimal burn times and instructions. Pay attention to the burning instructions provided on the label to ensure a safe and efficient burn. This includes factors like the recommended duration of each burn session and trimming the wick to an appropriate length before each use.
