CANDLE CARE

  • When lighting a soy candle for the first time, allow the wax to melt all the way to the sides of the container. Depending on the container size, this should take around 1-4 hours.
  • Failure to do this will often cause "tunneling" which will limit the life of your new soy candle.
  • Aim to trim your wick to about 1/4"/6-8mm before you re-light your candle. This will ensure a long lasting candle, minimize soot and remove any mushrooming of carbon on the end of the wick.
  • Extinguish your candle by dipping the wick into the melted wax and straighten. This will stop the wick smoking and will help with re-lighting the next time. 

Highview & Blossom candles are hand poured, not massed produced - and although every effort is made to ensure consistency, every candle will be a little different. When using completely natural soy wax, sometimes we experience darker patches or "wet" spots in your container candles. You may notice the wax has not 100% adhered to the glass or the  top of your candle may appear slightly uneven or frosted - this is all very normal and characteristic of 100% soy wax.

CANDLE SAFETY

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended. 
  • Burn candles out of reach of children and pets.
  • Always leave at least 10cm between burning candles. 
  • Do not burn candles on or near anything that can catch fire. 
  • Do not place candle near sources of heat. 
  • Only burn this candle on a level, heat resistant flat surface.
  • Keep the wax pool clean and clear of matches and other debris to avoid flaring. 
  • Trim wick to about 1cm before lighting.  
  • Always snuff out a candle - do not blow out. 
  • Do not place the candle in a draught. 
  • Always leave 10cm between burning candles.
  • Do not burn candles on or near anything that could catch fire.
  • On first burn, let burn for 2-4 hours to establish an even melt pool.
  • Never burn the candle more than 4 hours at  time. 
  • The container will become hot during use.
  • Do not attempt to move the candle when lit.  
  • Extinguish candle when there is 5mm of wax left in the bottom and do not re-light.
