Always burn within sight, on a heat-safe surface away from drafts. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Burn for no more than 4 hours at a time and stop when 1cm of wax remains.

On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edge of the jar (about 3–4 hours) so it doesn’t tunnel. Trim the wick to about 5mm before every burn for a cleaner flame.

Wax: 100% soy wax — no paraffin. Fragrance: candle-grade fragrance oils used within IFRA guidelines, with no essential oils. Wick: cotton-based and lead-free.

Why no essential oils? Candles are a high-heat application, and many essential oils have low flash points and are hard to formulate consistently in wax — so we use candle-grade fragrance oils made for burning.

It's a candle that honours a medical career with warmth and a touch of humour — a memorable alternative to the standard plaque.

It's for retiring doctors — from colleagues, practices, patients or family.

It's made from 100% natural soy wax with a lead-free cotton wick and phthalate-free fragrance oils, hand-poured in NSW, Australia.

Soy wax burns cleanly and slowly for a long-lasting scent; trim the wick to 5mm before each burn for the longest, most even burn.

Our fragrance oils are phthalate-free and contain no essential oils (verified by Safety Data Sheets), and the wick is lead-free cotton — still, always burn in a ventilated space away from pets.

Orders are dispatched within 24–48 hours (2–5 business days from Black Friday to Christmas) from NSW and shipped Australia-wide; shipping is free on orders over $120.
