Care Is the Ritual: Making the Most of Your Candle

Taking a few extra moments to tend to your candle isn’t just about preserving it. It’s about protecting the scent, improving the burn, and creating a ritual that’s just a little more intentional.

Here’s how to care for your candle:

Trim the wick to about 5mm before each burn
This helps prevent soot, uneven flames, and blackening of the jar.

Let the wax melt fully across the surface on the first burn
This avoids tunneling and ensures your candle lives its full life.

Don’t burn for more than 4 hours at a time
Overheating the wax can affect the scent and safety.

Use a snuffer to extinguish instead of blowing it out It’s gentler, smokeless, and keeps the fragrance intact.

Keep away from drafts
It helps the flame stay steady and the wax melt evenly.

Store your candle in a cool, dry place

Sunlight or heat can alter its color, fragrance, and texture.

The little things matter. With just a touch of care, your candle becomes more than something that burns — it becomes a part of your slow rituals.

Here’s to scent, stillness, and moments made well.
