Product Ingredients

Our candles are hand-crafted using only 100%  natural sustainable soy wax and premium fragrance oils with no additives ( No Paraffin, No Palm Oil, No artificial colouring) giving you a clean burning and pet-safe candle. Your candle is housed in a UV-resistant amber jar accompanied by a cotton wick and black lid to retain the fragrance throw between uses.

Candle Care Instructions

Hooray, a brand new candle!

There's nothing quite like the feeling of lighting it up for the
very first time.

However, it's important to perform the first burn correctly to ensure the optimal performance of your candle.

To do this, allow the wax to melt to the edge of the jar, creating an even melt pool before snuffing the flame. This typically takes about 3-4 hours to achieve a full melt pool.

We recommend burning your candle for 3-4 hours but never longer than 4 hours during its
first use to release its wonderful fragrance's full potential and create the optimal candle memory for your next burn. This will also prevent the candle
from tunnelling.

When your candle arrives, the wick will already be pre-trimmed by us. However, it's important to
continue trimming the wick in between uses to maintain a healthy flame and even burn.

If the wick is too long, you may notice that it begins to mushroom, which is completely normal but can cause the candle to burn faster. This is caused by
excess carbon build-up, so it's best to keep the wick trimmed to approximately 5mm to 7mm. 

If you notice the flame getting bigger, extinguish the flame, trim the wick, and relight the candle. This will keep the life of the candle longer at the same time keeping safe all the time.
