Candle care and safety.

Follow these rules to keep safe and get the best out of your Candle.

    • Remove candle from box before lighting, recycle box and packaging.
    • Straighten wick before lighting and place on a heat resistant surface.
    • Always trim your wick to 1cm before lighting using a wick trimmer or scissors.  
    • When first lighting your candle jar, allow the candle to burn long enough for the wax to melt to the edge of the jar, as this prevents tunnelling.
    • Burn your candle for no more than 4 hours at a time as the Jar can get very hot. 
    • Keep the wax melt pool free of any bits of wick or other debris. 
    • Always trim the wick to 5mm before re-lighting and remove any foreign materials or trimmings.
    • If the wick 'mushrooms' extinguish the candle, allow to cool and trim the top off the wick. This controls the flame size so your candle doesn't burn too fast. 
    • If your candle begins to smoke or the flame is too high or flickering, extinguish the candle. Check for drafts, let it set and trim the wick before re-lighting. 
    • Use a snuffer to extinguish your candle. 
    • Never use a candle as a night light.
    • Keep out of reach of children and pets.
    • Never leave a candle unattended or near anything that can catch fire.
    • Extinguish your candle using a candle snuffer.
    • Do not touch or move the candle until it has completely cooled.
    • Make sure your candle is completely out and the wick ember is no longer glowing before leaving the room.
    • Do not burn your candle if there is less than 1cm of wax left.
    • Store your candle in a cool dark place.
    • All candles and diffusers include a safety sticker. Do not remove. 

 

Why choose Eco Soy Wax?

Soy wax is derived from vegetables. 100% non-toxic, Biodegradable, from a renewable resource and is slow burning, meaning your candle will last 25 - 50% longer.

Paraffin wax is derived from petroleum, contains and releases nasty toxins, including Carcinogens. It is Non-biodegradable from a limited resource and burns fast.

Do you take back Jars for reusing/recycling?

We don't currently take jars back for re-use/recycling but hopefully one day will have the capacity. Please re-use your jar if you can or recycle responsibly, Thank you!
