Candle care

With the right care, you can extend the life of your candle and ensure the best possible burning experience.

How to care for your candle

  1. Trim the wick — Before each use, trim the wick to a length of about 5 mm. This will prevent smoking and ensure an even burn.
  2. First lighting — When lighting the candle for the first time, let it burn until the entire top surface of the wax has melted. This will prevent a tunnel from forming.
  3. Protect from draughts — Place the candle away from draughts. Air currents cause uneven burning and smoking.
  4. Burning time — Do not let the candle burn for more than 4 hours at a time. After extinguishing, allow it to cool before lighting again.
  5. Safety — Never leave a burning candle unattended. Place it on a stable, non-flammable surface out of reach of children and pets.
  6. Extinguishing — Do not blow out the candle — use a snuffer or a lid. This will prevent wax splatter and smoke.

Why natural wax?

  • Soy wax — Made from soya beans. It burns cleanly, more slowly than paraffin, and produces less soot. It is easy to clean with soap and water.
  • Coconut wax — A luxurious natural wax with a creamy appearance. It releases fragrance perfectly even in smaller spaces and burns slowly.
  • Blended wax — A carefully balanced mix of natural waxes. It combines a beautiful candle appearance, a long burn time and an even release of fragrance.
  • Palm wax — Creates unique crystalline patterns on the surface of the candle, making each one an original. Burns evenly and for a long time.
