Candles - Safety and CLP Regulatory Information
CANDLE SAFETY
Trim candle wick to 0.5cm (1/4in) before each use
Do not leave candles unattended or in easy reach of children and/or pets
Each time you burn your candle, allow the entire top layer to become a fragrant pool of liquid wax.
To prevent overheating, do not burn candles for more than 4 hours at a time.
Never burn a candle near anything that can catch on fire.
Never move a candle while it's lit and do not touch a lit candle or the hot wax.
Keep candles on a flat, heat resistant surface and away from vents or drafts.
Please DO NOT EAT or INGEST, and read all labeling on the candle before lighting
Please remove all outer packaging before burning your Candles
WAX MELT INSTRUCTIONS
Remove all wax melt packaging before use.
Place your wax melt into the dished area and then heat from below with a lit unscented tea-light.
Our recommended safest way to remove wax from the burner once the melt(s) has been used: Unlike a candle, the wax in a wax melt doesn’t disappear as you use it. Instead, eventually, the wax will lose its scent. Using your freezer is one of the cleanest ways of removing used wax from your warmer. Once the burner has completely cooled down and is safe to touch, simply place your warmer in the freezer for ten to twenty minutes. The wax will become solid and shrink in this time, popping out of your wax burner. All you need to do then is wipe the dish clean with a paper towel and you are ready to go again.
WAX MELT BURNER SAFETY
Failure to follow these instructions could result in a fire hazard. Not intended for use with fragranced warming oil or potpourri refresher oil.
NEVER leave a burning candle unattended or move it when lit.
Keep away from children and pets.
Place on a heatproof surface and do not burn the tea-light or leave the wax melt burner on or near anything that can catch fire, including curtains and furnishings
Keep away from draughts
The wax melt burner becomes VERY HOT during use, DO NOT touch or move whilst alight. It is ONLY SAFE TO MOVE when it has COMPLETELY COOLED DOWN!
Extinguish the tea-light if the flame becomes enlarged, makes contact with the wax melt burner, or begins to smoke.
Use a candle snuffer to extinguish the tealight flame. Once extinguished allow the wax melt burner to cool before moving.
CANDLE FINISH
Each candle is handmade so each finish, colour and scent may slightly differ from candle to candle, you may also see small imperfections and air bubbles.
As Soy wax is 100% natural, it is common that you may experience some frosting or sweating with your candle.
What is Frosting?
Frosting is actually a unique and natural effect of using soy wax. The wax is trying to return to its natural form and as a result it begins to crystallize. It doesn't affect the performance of the candle in any way and means your wax is 100% natural. To minimise the appearance of frosting gently rub the area with your finger or a warm cloth.
What is Sweating?
Sweating is a thin layer of oil that can sit on your candle, it can be a result of moving your candle from one temperature to another. You can simply wipe the excess oil off with a tissue. To avoid this, keep your candle away from drafts, direct sunlight and rooms that vary in temperature. It doesn't affect the quality of the candle, the way it burns or the scent throw.
