Tips for Burning Beeswax Candles

1. For proper burning of bees wax candles, trim wick to 1/4" before burning each time. Keep burning candles away from drafts and wick centred.

2. When burning pillars, burn for about one hour per inch in diameter. After extinguishing and your candle has cooled warm to the touch, gently mould candle edges inward if needed.

3. When burning tealights, burn for about 20 minutes and if the wick starts to falter, extringuish the wick, trim and relight.

4. Extinguish candle by dunking the wick into the pool of liquid wax and straightening it up again. Never blow out a beeswax candle. The cotton wicks will continue to smolder if blown out. This can char the wick and inhibit re-lighting. Occasionally when extinguishing a candle, the wick will burn down slightly making it more difficult when you wish to re-light it. Scraping the wax slightly around the base of the wick will make re-lighting the candle easier if there is a problem.

5. Never leave a burning candle unattended.

6. Burn candle only in a fireproof candleholder.

7. Beeswax candles will develop a powdery coating called "bloom" that can be removed by buffing with a soft cloth or by gently using a hair dryer.
