The Invitation

Following Candle Care 101 helps to ensure product quality + longevity. We highly recommend following each of the following steps:

• Make sure your wick is trimmed to between 1/8″ – 3/16″ / 3.2mm – 4.8mm before lighting. If the wick is too long, the wax will not pull up the wick and the wick will extinguish.
• Wooden wicks do need a little attention and tending to before each burn, similar to cotton wicks. Be sure to gently snap off the ash or burnt wood along the top edge of the wick and then light as usual.
• If when burning the candle for a long period of time you notice the flame height getting too low, it may be necessary to tap off any excess ash or burnt wood along the top of the wick. The flame will then return to its proper optimal height.
• Be very careful not to let any debris from the wick (or anything else!) fall into the candle.
• Allow the wax to melt to the edges of the jar during each burn to prevent tunneling.
• Extinguish candle when ½” / 12.7mm of wax is remaining.
• Do not burn candle more than 4 hours at one time.
• Once the candle's gone, we hope you'll re-use it. Clean it out and you've got a new planter or pencil holder – or whatever you want

Safety first - because candles burn and contain a small flame, so we encourage following these common-sense rules of thumb:

• Never leave a candle burning unattended, near a draft, or in reach of children or pets.
• Don't burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.
• Do not pick up a burning candle or immediately after it's been blown out.
• Protect the surface underneath the candle no matter the material.

Our candles are simple: they're all made with Coco Apricot Crème Wax, lightly colored native wooden wicks, and exclusively designed fragrances.  The fragrances we use are paraben-free, phthalate-free, and are never (ever) tested on animals.
