Pillar Candle

Your candle will burn powerfully for the first few minutes, as the wax powers through the wick. 

When using for the first time (and each time after that), we
recommend that you burn for 4 hours, so that the wax (almost) reaches the edge of the jar, this prevents tunnelling and makes the candle last longer. Never burn the candle for short periods of time, 2 hours or less – this can also cause tunnelling, as there is not enough time for the wax pool to melt to the edge of the jar, as beeswax is a hard wax.

Always trim the wick to 5mm before lighting the candle – This removes carbon from the end of the wick and means the flame will be larger. This in turn helps the flame burn bigger and brighter, and will help the wax burn all the way to the edge of the jar, which prevents tunnelling. Always ensure the wick is upright.

We recommend extinguishing the candle by dipping the flame in the wax melt pool. This extinguishes the flame without causing any smoke, and it also coats the wick in melted beeswax, which helps secure a powerful flame next time you light the candle.

Please remember that beeswax candles burn differently to all other wax candles. Beeswax has a different composition depending on the flowers the bees have pollinated. This means every candle will burn differently and will have quirks and imperfections. The wax may crack in between burns and it may burn unevenly. Beeswax will not melt like soy wax or paraffin wax candles, it will have its own way of burning, this is part of the charm of beeswax candles and we love its imperfections.

Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep out of reach of children and pets and away from draughts and flammable materials.  After burning the jar will be hot – do not touch.
