CANDLE CARE
The rules for proper candle use aren't just random — they're essential!
BEFORE BURNING:
Always trim your wick to approximately 5mm, or 1/4 inch.
Place the candle on a safe, stable surface, and away from flammable objects.
Keep the candle out of reach of pets and children.
DURING BURINING:
To maximize the candle's scent, avoid opening multiple windows in the first 30 minutes.
Burn up to 4 hours at a time — too short can cause "tunneling" while too long can be unsafe.
First burn: 2.5-3 hours for an even melt pool. After that, burn at least 2 hours. If the flame’s too big, extinguish, trim the wick, and relight.
Do not burn a candle all the way down. Stop burning when 10mm of wax remains to prevent overheating.
Never leave candles burning all day or overnight — it can crack the jar or start a fire.
AFTER BURNING:
Make sure the candle is fully out with no ember glow before leaving.
Allow the candle to cool completely before moving.
Store the candle in a cool, dark, dry place away from direct sunlight.
FAQs:
Why do we use rapeseed wax?
We use rapeseed wax because it’s a natural, sustainable, and eco-friendly choice. Sourced from plants grown in Europe, it burns cleanly, lasts longer, and holds fragrance beautifully. Rapeseed wax is biodegradable, renewable, and supports a lower carbon footprint—making it a responsible and high-quality option for our candles.
Do candles have a shelf life?
Candles don’t expire, but for the best scent and performance, we recommend using them within a year of purchase. Over time, fragrance can fade and wax may burn less evenly—so don’t wait too long to enjoy your favorites!
Can I send a gift to a friend or loved one?
Yes—our candles make thoughtful, personal gifts. We never include pricing in the package, only a simple itemized receipt. Want to add a personal message? Just type it in the order notes section before checkout—we’ll make sure it's highlighted for the recipient. And don’t forget to enter their shipping address if you’d like the gift sent directly to them!
Stolen Packages, Delivery Issues, or Incorrect Addresses:
If your package is marked as delivered but goes missing, or if it’s delivered to the wrong address by the shipping provider, we know how disappointing that can be—but unfortunately, it's out of our hands. In these cases, you’ll need to file a claim directly with the carrier, as they are responsible for the final delivery. To help avoid issues, please ship to a secure, reliable address.
Please always be sure to double check your shipping address at checkout. If an incorrect address is entered and the package is returned to us, we’re happy to resend it—however, there will be extra shipping fee to cover the cost of sending it out again.
