+ All candles are 8oz and are hand poured in a black tin with lid. They are decorated with a charm which can be removed & used as you wish.

+ 100% Soy wax for a clear burn 

+ Vegan Friendly

+ Aproximative burn time: 40 hours

+ Candle colour, decoration and crystal shape may vary slightly due to separate batches.

+ THE FIRST BURN IS THE MOST IMPORTANT - HOW TO DO IT RIGHT:
- Give your candle enough burning time to develop a melted wax pool that goes all the way to the edge of the container on the first use - this can take up to a few hours, depending on candle size.
- Believe it or not, your jar candles have a kind of “wax-memory,” and once a burning pattern has been established, it can be hard to change.
- If you don’t allow your candle enough time to form a full melt pool on the first burn, a little depression or “tunnel” may start to form around the wick.
- This will make it more difficult for the wax around the edges of the jar to melt, causing the tunneling effect to continue with each burn.
- Eventually the tunnel will become too deep for fresh oxygen to flow in, and your candle will have trouble staying lit for more than short periods of time.
- To prevent this issue, make sure to give your candle enough time to develop a melted wax pool that goes all the way to the edge of the container the first time you use it.
- This melt pool can take 2 hours or more to form, depending on the candle size.
- After the first use, you don’t have to let a full wax pool form every single time, but it is ideal if you want to get the most life out of your candle. Just make sure give your jar candles a nice long burn every so often to “reset” the wax memory and prevent any tunneling.

This will keep your candle looking great, smelling great, burning evenly, and all the other great things you want!

+ WARNING:

Never leave a lit candle unattended Keep out of the reach of children and pets.
