Trim the Wick: Cut the wick to 1/4 inch before lighting to avoid smoke and uneven burning.

Full Melt Pool: Let the wax melt edge to edge to prevent tunneling.

Avoid Drafts: Keep candles away from fans or vents for steady burning.

Burn Time: Limit burning to 2-4 hours to prevent overheating.

Clean Wax: Remove debris from the wax pool for a safe, clean burn.

• First Burn is Key: Burn the candle long enough so the entire surface melts (about 2-4 hours) to avoid tunneling.
• Avoid Drafts: Keep candles away from windows or fans to prevent uneven burning.
• Extinguish with Care: Use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax to avoid smoke.

Essential Oils: Derived from plants, these are natural but may not always have strong throw (the way the scent fills a room).

Fragrance Oils: Synthetic or blended scents, offering a wider variety and stronger throw.

Choose candles made from soy, coconut, or beeswax.
