How to burn:

  • Trim the wick/s to 0.5cm before each use to avoid smoking and damage to glass.
  • Burn for at least 2 hours each time (no more than 3 hours) for an even melt pool.
  • 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.
  • After every burn, ensure the wick is upright, above the wax and central before the wax resets.
  • Make sure the wax meets the edge of the jar before extinguishing the flame to help your candle last longer and prevent your candle from tunnelling.
  • Use a wick snuffer when extinguishing the flame to prevent any smoking.
  • Stop burning for the final time once 5mm of wax remains in the jar.

How to store your candle jars:

  • After use, once the glass has cooled, place your candle jar in the storage box to protect it from dust.
  • If there is condensation on the 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 30cl candle jars: Clean your jar by either pouring hot water onto the wax and waiting for it to cool before picking at the disc of wax that rises to the surface. Or by placing it in soapy water and cleaning gently. Remove the old wick sticker and discard. Don't clean your jar in the dishwasher.
  • Make sure the glass is crack free: Glass vessels can degrade over time so always check for imperfections before using and replace your jar regularly.
  • All our candle wax is natural and plant based so you can add it to your composter.
  • Reuse your 30cl candle jars with our candle refills or repurpose them. Don't let your jar end up in landfill.

Candle safety warnings:

  • Never leave your burning candle unattended.
  • Don't burn your candle near flammable materials.
  • Keep away from drafts, children and pets.
  • Don't allow the flame to touch the glass.
  • Note that the glass may become hot during use.
  • Leave 10cms between burning candles.
  • If any skin irritation or rash occurs or you feel unwell, please seek medical advice.
  • Candle refills must be used with a candle jar: Ensure all residual wax, soot and fragrance oils are fully removed from your candle jar before reuse. Improper cleaning can pose a fire hazard or result in contamination.
  • Before reusing a candle jar, carefully inspect it for cracks, chips or signs of wear. Damaged jars can break and should not be reused.
  • Only use Scooms candle refills with heat-resistant glass jars.

Frequently asked questions

View all

Natural scented candles are candles made using naturally derived waxes and fragrance ingredients instead of petroleum-based materials. Natural waxes include soy wax, beeswax and coconut wax. Natural fragrances come from pure essential oils or high-quality natural fragrance blends. With a natural candle, you get a cleaner burn with a more subtle, authentic natural scent.

Always check the brand instructions on how to care for your natural scented candle. To care for your Scooms natural scented candle:

  • Trim the wick to 5mm before each burn.
  • Burn for at least 2 hours until the wax melts evenly across the surface.
  • Keep your candle in a well-ventilated area, away from drafts.
  • Don't burn your candle for more than 3 hours each time.
  • After use, once cooled, place your candle in the storage box to protect it from dust.

Caring properly for your natural scented candle will improve the scent throw and burn quality.

There are many benefits to a natural scented candle. They provide an eco-friendly, cleaner and safer burn option at home.

A scented candle can be used in bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas to help:

  • Create a relaxing atmosphere.
  • Add warmth and ambience to a room.
  • Support mindfulness and wellbeing.
  • Freshen living spaces naturally.
  • Enhance sleep and relaxation routines.

Scent throw describes how well a candle releases fragrance into a room. “Cold throw” refers to the scent before lighting, while “hot throw” refers to the fragrance released during burning.

Scooms natural scented candles are infused with essential oil blend for over two weeks to ensure an optimal aroma throw and a clean, slow burn of 50-55 hours.

Candle tunnelling happens when the wax melts only in the centre, leaving unused wax around the edges. To prevent tunnelling in your scented candle:

  • Burn the candle long enough for the melt pool to reach the edges.
  • Allow approximately one hour of burn time per inch of candle diameter.
  • Avoid short burns.

We recommend a burn time of at least 2 hours each time for our Scooms natural scented candles.
