How do I maximize the life and performance of my candles and body products?

For Soy Candles: Always trim the cotton wick to 1/4 inch before every burn. On the first burn, allow the wax to reach a full melt pool across the edges of the Libbey glass container. Avoid burning for more than 4 hours at a time, keep away from drafts, and never leave a flame unattended.

For Body Care: Store your body butters, lotions, and scrubs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, keeping the containers tightly sealed when not in use to preserve the fresh, botanical ingredients.

How do I care for my candle?

Step 01 : Trim Prior to each lighting, trim the wick to 1/4” for a clean and smoke free burn. Also, always protect the surface on which the candle sits.

Step 02: On your first light, allow the entire surface of wax to melt — Minimum of 2 hours. There will be some “wax wall hanging,” but that’s normal. For all burns, never let it go on for more than 4 hours.

Step 03: Ensure the wick is centered. After each burn, adjust the wick while the wax is still molten.

!!!!To prevent fire and serious injury: Always trim wick to 1/4 inch before lighting. Never burn longer than 4-hour intervals. Set candle on heat-resistant surface and avoid drafts. Always burn within sight and extinguish before leaving room. Don’t burn near things that catch fire. Keep away from children and pets. Don’t extinguish with water. Always let wax harden before relighting, touching or moving.
