1. trim the wick

before every burn, trim the wick to about 0.5 cm. this prevents black smoke and keeps the flame steady.

2. let the top layer fully melt

on the first burn, allow the entire top layer of wax to melt. this prevents tunneling and makes sure your candle burns evenly.

3. don’t burn too long

keep it to 3–4 hours at a time. this keeps the scent strong, the flame stable and the wax quality intact.

4. use a snuffer

always use a candle snuffer instead of blowing out the flame. this avoids smoke and preserves the pure fragrance.

5. place your candle wisely

avoid draughts, fans or open windows. air currents make the flame flicker and cause uneven burning.

6. choose soy candles

natural soy wax candles are more sustainable and burn slower than paraffin. that means more hours of fragrance, less waste.

7. reuse the glass jar

when your candle is finished, clean out the ceramic jar and give it a second life – as storage, a coffee mug or a tealight holder.
