CANDLE CARE

Lighting your candle

We want you to have the best experience with your Find Your Zen Candle, so read on to be sure you get the best burn!

​

When you light your candle for the first time, it's important to keep it burning, preferably for 2-3 hours, until the whole surface has melted.

​

Believe it or not wax has a 'memory', so letting the top melt means the wax won't tunnel’ i.e., leave wax around the edges/burn unevenly. 

 

Each time you burn your candle try to keep it lit for a minimum of 1.5 to 2 hours. Never burn for more than 4 hours.

 

Light your candle in a well-ventilated area, where draughts and wind won’t disturb the flame. This will keep your flame nice and stable, allowing it to burn correctly and minimise sooting.

​

Trim your wick to 5mm and if it 'mushrooms' nip the top off. This helps control the size of the flame, so it doesn't burn too fast.

​

Extinguishing your candle

​

The safest way to extinguish your candle is to use a glass cloche or snuffer - blowing it out can cause some of the wick to drop into the wax and slightly damage the wick.

​

Remember...

​

Please do not leave candles unattended; place them away from drafts, children, and pets. Placed your candle on a heat-resistant base and set it on a level stable surface.

​

If soot forms inside the jar, extinguish the candle, wait for it
to cool, and wipe with a damp cloth. Trim the wick and light it again.
