Candle Care

For best results, burn your candle for 3–4 hours at a time. On the first burn, allow the wax to melt fully across the surface to the edges of the vessel. Do not burn for more than 4 hours at once.

Tunneling usually happens when the candle is extinguished before the wax has melted all the way to the edges. Allowing a full melt pool during the first burn helps the candle burn evenly.

Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each relighting. You can use a wick trimmer, scissors, or gently pinch off the curled end once the wick has cooled.

Our 12 oz candle burns for approximately 70 hours. Our 4 oz candle burns for approximately 20 hours.

No. Always keep a burning candle within sight and in the same room you’re in. Keep candles away from children, pets, drafts, and anything flammable.
