Question 1

Should I leave the herbs in the candle while it burns?

Accepted Answer

Our candles are designed to be lit with intention and to spend quality time with. Candles with inclusions should not be left unattended. While the inclusions are designed to be left in the candle and sink to the bottom, they are flammable. Please use with discretion.

Question 2

What do I do if a botanical catches fire?

Accepted Answer

Our organic herbs and florals are intended to sink safely into the melting wax pool. However, as the wax shifts, a botanical may occasionally drift too close to the cotton wick. If an herb begins to smoke or catch fire, safely extinguish the candle and use a metal tool (like a spoon or tweezers) to gently nudge the botanical to the outer edge of the glass.

Question 3

How do I prevent my candle from tunneling?

Accepted Answer

The secret is the first burn. Natural wax has an structural memory. The very first time you light your candle, let it burn until the melted wax pool reaches all six edges of the hexagon glass jar (at least 1 hour). This ensures a flat, beautiful burn for the rest of the candle's life. Always trim your wick to 1/2 cm before relighting.

Question 4

Can I burn the candle all the way to the very bottom?

Accepted Answer

For your safety, please stop burning your candle when there is still some wax remaining at the bottom of the hexagon jar. If the flame burns right down to the bare glass base, the intense heat concentrated on the metal wick tab can cause the glass jar to overheat, crack, or damage the surface it is sitting on.

Question 5

Can I use a candle warmer instead of lighting the candle?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! However you choose to spend quality time with your candle works. It's the intention that counts!
