We fill our candles generously (within safe fill levels) so you get maximum enjoyment from every jar.
On first lighting, the flame may sit higher and “dance” a bit—totally normal while it settles into a long, even burn. Wood wicks crackle and move more than cotton; that’s part of their charm.
Burn in sessions of at least 1 hour, no more than 4 hours. Short burns can cause tunneling (wax not reaching the edges). Drafts can also lead to tunneling or soot. Our coconut–apricot blend is forgiving and typically evens out as it melts, and with proper care, leave you with a nice clean jar.
After a 4-hour session, let the wax cool and harden, then trim before relighting—between 1/8"-1/4" for wood wicks. Skipping trims can cause soot and tiny black flecks. Overburning past 4 hours can also lead to sooting.
Stop burning when 1/2" of melted wax remains. Going lower can overheat the jar and affect fragrance quality. Store with the lid on, in a cool place, to keep dust and debris out.
