Body Shaped Candles

- Our unique body shaped candles are handcrafted using high-quality, non-toxic wax. - To ensure an even burn, place the body shaped candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface before lighting. Should be on a surface or plate that can collect excess melted wax. As the candle may tip as it melts. - Trim the wick to 1⁄4 inch before each use to prevent excessive smoking and soot build-up. - Allow the candle to burn until the wax pool reaches the edge of the body to prevent tunnelling and ensure a long-lasting burn. - Avoid burning the candle for more than 1 hour at a time. - These decorative candles are meant for display and should not be used for massaging or skin contact.

Luxury Container Candles

- Trim the wick to 1⁄4 inch before each lighting to ensure a clean, even burn. - Allow the candle to burn for at least 2 hours on the first lighting to create an even wax pool. - Avoid burning the candle for more than 4 hours at a time. - Keep the wax pool free of any debris and keep the wick centered to prevent smoking and soot build-up.

Wooden Wick Candles

- Trim the wooden wick to 1/8 inch before each lighting for optimal performance. - Allow the candle to burn until the wax pool reaches the edge of the container to prevent tunnelling. Could take as long as 2-3 hours. - If the wick becomes too long during burning, extinguish the candle, let it cool, and trim the wick before relighting.

Container Candles

- Keep the wick trimmed to 1⁄4 inch before each use. - Avoid burning the candle for more than 3 hours at a time to prevent the container from getting too hot. - When the wax reaches 1⁄2 inch from the bottom of the container, discontinue use to prevent heat damage.

Massage Candles

- Light the candle and wait for the wax to melt into a pool before extinguishing the flame. Always extinguish flame before pouring. - Pour the warm (not hot) liquid wax onto the skin and massage in gently. - Always test the temperature before applying to ensure it’s comfortable for the skin.

Votive or Pillar Candles

- Trim the wick to 1⁄4 inch before lighting and ensure the wick is centered for an even burn. - Place the candle on a heat-resistant surface and keep away from drafts. - Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep out of reach of children and pets. (Highly recommend Repurposing all container candles)
