Candle Care & Safety Guide
To ensure the best experience with your Love Yourself More Soy Candle, follow these simple care and safety tips.
The First Burn
Allow your candle to burn until the melted wax reaches the edges of the vessel. This prevents tunneling and helps your candle burn evenly for its entire life.
Tip: The first burn may take 2–4 hours. Never burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.
Safety First
-
Always place your candle on a flat, heat-resistant, dry, and sturdy surface.
-
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
-
Stop use when only ½ inch of wax remains to prevent overheating or damage to the vessel.
Trim Your Wick
Keep your wick trimmed to about 6mm (¼ inch) before each burn.
A short wick ensures a controlled flame, reduces soot, and helps your candle burn cleaner and longer.
Handling Soot
If soot appears on the inside of the vessel:
-
Extinguish the candle and let it cool completely.
-
Wipe the inside with a clean, damp cloth.
-
Trim the wick before relighting.
Maximize Your Scent Throw
For the strongest fragrance experience:
-
Burn your candle in a small to medium room with windows and doors closed for at least 30 minutes.
-
Open spaces may cause the scent to disperse more quickly.
(See our Candle Size & Suggestion Guide for room recommendations.)
Storing Your Candle
Store candles in a cool, dark, and dry place.
Avoid direct sunlight or harsh indoor lighting, which can fade the fragrance and color.
Cleaning Your Candle
Use a soft, dry cloth to gently remove dust.
If needed, lightly dampen the cloth with water — avoid using harsh cleaners or soaking the surface.
Lastly, Enjoy
Whether you’re creating a personal sanctuary or filling your home with love and light, take time to pause, breathe, and Love Yourself More with every burn.
