Safety And Burning Tips


We want you to experience the maximum enjoyment and pleasure from our candles. We take great pride in making them using only the finest quality ingredients and materials. However, it’s very important that you burn candles responsibly to ensure their safe use. Please follow these guidelines to keep your candles burning properly.

General Candle Safety
  • Remove all packaging before lighting.
  • Place on a protected, heat-resistant, dry surface, away from anything that can catch fire, and out of reach of children and pets. Use holders designed for the particular candle style.
  • Keep wick(s) trimmed to 1/8” at all times.
  • If smoking occurs, blow candle out. Trim wick(s), remove trimmings, and relight.
  • Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches, or any combustible material. Keep the wick centered.
  • Avoid burning candles in drafts.
  • Never leave burning candles unattended. Keep them within sight at all times.
  • Keep all matches and lighters out of the reach of children.
  • Teach everyone in the family the rules of safe candle use.

    Pillar Candle Tips
  • When wax pool reaches the candle’s edge, extinguish flame and allow candle to harden before relighting. This will prevent dripping.
  • Discontinue use when 1/2" of wax remains.
  • Never place directly on furniture. Only burn in an appropriate holder.

    Tealight Candle Tips
  • Do not burn in an enclosed space like a potpourri pot or tart warmer.
  • If wick smokes or builds up carbon, extinguish flame and remove the carbon before relighting.

    Votive Candle Tips
  • Burn only in an appropriate holder. Do not burn freestanding.

    Wax Tart Tips
  • Place Wax Tarts in the top of a dry potpourri or tart burner and never add water. Use an unscented tealight (never use scented tealights) to warm the wax. When melted, the wax tart will release its fragrance into the air. To change fragrance, allow the melted Wax Tart to harden. Gently tap the sides of the burner and in most cases the wax will pop out. Discard the melted wax or store in a plastic bag for reuse.
  • If using an electric Wax Tart melter or potpourri pot, we recommend that you use one that is UL listed for safety assurance.

    If at anytime you have any questions about safetly or use, please contact us and we would be more than happy to provide you with an answer.
