Natural Scented CandlesJOY

How to burn your candle: 

• Trim the wick/s to 5cm before each use to avoid smoking and damage to the glass. Always light all 3 wicks for our 430g candles.
• Keep the wax pool clear of wick trimmings and matches; they can cause your candle to burn faster.
• Use your candle in a well-ventilated area, away from drafts and fans.
• Burn your candle on a level heat resistant surface - use a plate or candle stand to block the heat and protect your table surface.
• Always burn for 3-4 hours on the first burn to ensure an even melt pool.
• After every burn, ensure the wick is upright, above the wax and central before the wax resets.
• Ensure the wax meets the edge of the jar before extinguishing the flame to help your candle last longer and prevent your candle from tunnelling.
• Burn for no more than 4 hours for our 1 wick 160g candles and no more than 3 hours at a time for our 3 wick 430g candles.
• Use a wick snuffer when extinguishing the flame to prevent smoking.
• Stop burning for the final time when 5mm of wax remains in the jar.

How to store your candle:

• After use, once the glass has cooled, place the lid on the jar to protect your candle from dust which can cause problems when burning and dull the fragrance.
• If there is condensation on your candle, wipe with a paper towel before burning.
• Don't store your candle for too long as the fragrance can be affected over time.
• To clean & reuse your candle jars - Put your candle jar in the freezer for a few hours. It will then be easy to chip away any remaining wax with an old spoon. Use hot soapy water to clean any residue.
• All our candle wax is natural and plant based so you can add it to your composter.
• Reuse or repurpose your candle jars as plant pots or even for growing your own food. Don't let your jar end up in landfill!

Candle use warnings:

• Never leave your burning candle unattended.
• Don't burn near flammable materials.
• Keep away from drafts, children & pets.
• Don't allow the flame to touch the glass.
• Glass may become hot during use.
• Leave cms between burning candles.
• If skin irritation or rash occurs or you feel unwell, seek medical advice.
