Get the Most Out of Your Flame Reaction Candles

Our candles are designed to bring fragrance, warmth, and personality into your space. Follow these tips to enjoy your candle while burning it safely.

Before Each Burn

  • Trim the wooden wick to approximately 1/8 inch before lighting. Remove loose charred material from the wax.
  • Place your candle on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
  • Keep candles away from drafts, open windows, fans, and air vents.
  • Remove any packaging or decorative materials that are not intended to remain during burning.

During Your Burn

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.
  • Keep candles away from children, pets, curtains, and other flammable materials.
  • Burn for long enough to allow the wax to melt across most or all of the surface, following the specific burn-time guidance for your candle. Avoid excessive burning.
  • Never move a candle while the wax is hot or liquid.
  • Keep foreign objects and wick trimmings out of the wax.

When to Stop Burning

  • Discontinue use when approximately 1/2 inch of wax remains in the container, or sooner if the vessel or manufacturer's instructions require it.
  • Never allow the flame to touch the bottom of the vessel.

After Burning

  • Extinguish the candle safely and allow the wax to cool completely before handling.
  • Keep the wick centered and avoid moving the candle until the wax has solidified.
  • Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.

A Few Things to Remember

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.
  • Do not burn candles near anything that can catch fire.
  • Stop using a candle if the container becomes cracked or damaged.
  • Follow any additional care instructions included with your specific candle.

Important note for your wooden-wick candles: Wooden wicks sometimes need a little extra attention to maintain a consistent flame. If a wick is too long, excess char can cause uneven burning. Always let the candle cool completely before trimming.
