To maximize your Soy candle experience and enjoyment, you should always follow the instructions listed on our products! 

     Burning instructions for Soy candles:

  • Remove all packaging and read instructions before lighting.
  • Use appropriate candle holders and always place Soy candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface
  • Always keep wick(s) centered and trimmed to a ¼” long.
  • Keep burning Soy candles away from drafts, vents and air currents.
  • Keep Soy candles out of reach of children and pets.
  • Keep Soy wax free of wick trimmings and other flammable materials.
  • Discontinue burning candle when ½” of Soy wax remains.
  • Do not move a Soy candle while lit or when wax is melted.
  • Burn Soy candle every inch in diameter for at least one hour or until melt-pool fully reaches the edge of the container.
  • Do not burn Soy candle for more than 4 hours at a time.
  • Never leave a burning Soy candle unattended.

     Soy candle care & helpful tips:
  • You may notice some “mushrooming” at the top of the wick, this is normal for all natural wicks, please trim off and discard this debris and trim wick to ¼” before re-lighting.
  • Soy candles are sensitive to temperature and light, in order to avoid color fading, melting or cracking; store Soy candles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
  • Any spilled Soy wax is easily cleaned up with soapy hot water.
  • When burning multiple Soy candles, keep at least 2” apart in order to prevent uneven burning.
  • Use an electric candle warmer for our Soy Jar Candles and Soy Candle Tins in places where burning candles is not permitted.
  • Helpful hint – the larger the Soy candle the greater the scent throw. Example: a Soy votive is ideal for a bathroom or other small room whereas an 18 oz Soy Jar Candle will fragrance a large room or area.
      Soy Jar Candles and Soy Candle Tins:
  • The first time you burn your Soy Jar Candle, burn candle until melt-pool fully reaches the edge of the container. A Soy candle “remembers” how far it pooled the first time; this is called a memory burn. If a Soy candle is not allowed to pool properly, you can get the “tunnel” effect where you are left with a lot wasted Soy wax on the sides of the container. Burn 1 hour for every inch in diameter after your first burning each time.
  • Always remember to keep your wick trimmed to 1/4" each time before you light your Soy Jar Candle, if you don't, the wick will get too long, the flame will smoke and fragrance burns of quickly.
  • If by accident the wick is trimmed too small, all is not lost. You can still enjoy the fragrance by placing your Soy Jar Candle or Soy Candle Tin on a candle warmer. 
  • Use an electric candle warmer for our Soy Jar Candles and Soy Candle Tins in places where burning candles is not permitted.
  • Caution: Soy Candle Tins will get very hot when lit, place on heat resistant surface. 
      Soy Tealights:
  • Because of their small size we recommend that you use at least 2 or more Soy Tealights combined for achieving a desirable amount of fragrance.
  • We recommend that you use our clear cup Soy Tealights in well ventilated holders, rather then enclosed holders.
  • Do not use our scented Soy Tealights to heat Simmer Pots as the flame is not powerful enough for this purpose.
      Soy Simmer Scent Squares:
  • We recommend you use our Soy Simmer Scent Squares in large open areas, this product will release high impact fragrance!
  • Simply remove “spent” Soy Simmer Scent wax by placing Simmer Pot in the freezer for approximately for 15 minutes and wax will “pop” right out.  

      Soy Votives:

  • Soy Votives must be burned in a snug fitting holder as wax will liquefy, do not burn as free standing candles.
