Candles Care and Safety Information

Our candles are handmade in New Zealand for maximum fragrance throw. To get the most out of your candle, please follow the care instructions.

⚠️Care Instructions⚠️

• Keep the candle clean and dust free by replacing the lid when not in use
• Store candles in a cool, dry place with the lid on
• Trim the wicks to 1/4 inch (7 mm) before lighting the candle
• Keep the wick properly trimmed to prevent sooting
• Burn your candle for 3-4 hours to ensure a proper melt pool and smooth top
• Do not burn the candle for over 4 hours
• Do not add water to the candle
• Leave 1/2 inch (10 mm) of wax at the end of the candle to prevent overheating the container
• Do not extinguish the flame with the lid - use a wick dipper or snuffer or blow gently on the flame until it is extinguished
• For candles with multiple wicks, light all wicks during each use
• Container candle burning times may vary based on fragrance, colour, environmental conditions and burning habits of the user


⚠️Safety⚠️

To prevent fire or serious injury:
• Burn within sight and do not leave the candle unattended when lit
• Keep away from foreign or flammable objects
• Keep the candle on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface
• Keep away from children and pets
• Do not light the candle in a draughty or windy spot
