First burn: set the memory
Burn until the wax melts edge-to-edge (usually 2–4 hours). This prevents tunneling for the rest of the candle’s life.
Light for the quiet, golden hours.
Candle care, made simple.
A few small rituals—wick trims, full melt pools, and mindful placement—make your candle burn cleaner, longer, and more beautifully.
Golden rule
Let the wax reach the edges.
On the first burn, allow a full melt pool to prevent tunneling and keep your candle performing at its best.

3–5 mm
Burn

Rest
cool fully
Quick care checklist
Keep this nearby. These steps minimize soot, prevent tunneling, and extend burn time.
2
Trim the wick every time
Trim to 3–5 mm before lighting. A short wick reduces soot, keeps the flame steady, and improves scent throw.
3
Keep burns intentional
Avoid burning longer than 4 hours. Extinguish, let cool completely, then relight for the cleanest performance.
4
Extinguish gently
Use a snuffer or dip the wick and re-center it. Avoid blowing—this can cause smoke and disturb the wax surface.
5
Mind placement & drafts
Place on a stable, heat-safe surface. Keep away from open windows, fans, and vents to prevent uneven burning.
FAQ
Quick answers to the most common candle questions.
Why is my candle tunneling? +
Tunneling usually happens when the first burn is too short. Next time, burn until the melt pool reaches the vessel edge. You can also carefully extend a short burn by letting it run longer (within the 4-hour max).
How do I reduce soot? +
Keep the wick trimmed (3–5 mm), avoid drafts, and don’t burn longer than 4 hours. A steady flame produces less smoke and soot.
Can I reuse the vessel? +
Yes. Let wax cool, remove residual wax safely, wash with warm soapy water, and dry completely before repurposing.
My flame is too high—what should I do? +
Extinguish the candle, let it cool, trim the wick shorter, then relight. If drafts are present, move the candle to a calmer spot.
