Beeswax Candles

Here are a few hints to keep your candles burning clean and bright.


Keep wicks trimmed to 1/4 inch
In order for a cleaner burning candle, it is important for the wick to be trimmed after use.

Store candles in a cool dry space
Storing them in this manner will ensure proper burning and look the same as when they were purchased.

Keep away from drafts
Beeswax candles are known to be dripless. If they are in a draft, they may tend to burn unevenly resulting in dripping. If your candle burns unevenly (due to a draft, for instance), carefully push the wick towards the higher side. If this causes dripping, extinguish the flame, let it cool for an hour, then relight the candle.

When burning votives, place a few drops of water in the bottom of your glass candle holder so that it will extinguish the flame before it causes the glass to break.

Extinguish
To extinguish a candle, gently dip the wick into the liquid wax, using a nonflammable instrument. This little known technique eliminates smoking
Once a candle is burning avoid moving it. If the candle is moved while ignited, liquid wax may drown the wick and extinguish the flame.

Bloom
Sometimes a dusty-looking film called "bloom" will form on your beeswax candles. This is a natural occurrence which indicates that your candles are 100% beeswax. Carefully using a hair dryer will restore the original color.


NEVER leave a burning candle unattended or alone with children.
