On the surface, candles seem pretty straightforward—just light them up and let them burn.

But a little care goes a long way. These tips will help you get the most out of your candle experience, especially with our coconut-soy wax blend, which burns a little differently than pure soy.

📍 Stay safe. 
Always burn candles on a heat-safe surface, away from drafts, pets, and anything flammable. Never leave a burning candle unattended.

🕯 First burn matters. 
Burn your candle for 2+ hours on the first use. For soy candles, a full melt pool on the first burn helps prevent tunneling. Our coconut-soy wax may leave a little wax around the edges at first, but don't worry - it will even out as the candle burns.

✂️ Keep the wick trimmed.
Before each use, trim the wick to about ¼". It helps the candle burn cleanly, prevents soot, and avoids big, flickering flames.

🔥 Burn with intention.
Only burn your candle for 2–4 hours at a time. This preserves the scent, prevents overheating, and keeps your candle lasting longer.

💛 Listen to your candle.
If the flame is too high or flickering wildly, blow it out, trim the wick, and relight when it’s cool.

Light often. Breathe deep. Repeat.
