Candle Care
A little care goes a long way. Here’s how to burn your candle beautifully and safely, every single session.
Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each light. Because the candles are made with soy wax, crushed mica, and luxury fragrance oils, they burn best with a slightly longer wick. Too short and you risk tunneling; too long and you'll get a smoky flame.
Before you burn
Let the wax pool all the way to the edges (this may take 2–3 hours). This sets the “memory” and prevents tunneling so your candle burns evenly every time.
The first burn
Keep your burn sessions to 4 hours max. Your candle needs breaks too. Always burn on a heat-safe surface, away from drafts, curtains, and curious little hands or paws.
During the burn
Keep it clean
Clear out any debris, wick trimmings, or soot before each burn. If your flame starts dancing too high or flickering, give that wick a tiny trim and check for leftover trimmings. A clean, trimmed wick keeps the flame steady and the scent strong.
Once there's about ½ inch of wax left, it’s time to let go. Continuing to burn past this point can overheat the vessel. Clean it out, repurpose it, and treat yourself to another Intentional Candle.
