100% Pure Beeswax: Sustainably sourced with no artificial fragrances or dyes.
Clean Burn: High melting point ensures a drip-resistant, soot-free experience.
Artisan Finish: Hand-finished for a smooth, blemish-free surface.
Specifications
Dimensions: Approximately 55mm (H) x 43mm (W)—the size of a standard UK large hen egg.
Burn Time: Approximately 6–8 hours of steady, golden light.
Weight: ~60g.
Wick Trimming: Before each use, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This encourages a clean, bright burn and prevents the flame from becoming too large.
Candle Hugging: As your beeswax candle burns, gently hug or fold the softer edges towards the center. This technique helps utilize all the wax, extending the burn time and maintaining the candle's shape.
Placement: Always place your beeswax candle on a heat-resistant surface, suitable candle holder, or plate to catch any drips and avoid spillage. Ensure the candle is away from drafts, vents, or air currents that could cause uneven burning or dripping. Do not burn the candles in hurricane containers.
Safety Tips:
Never Leave Unattended: Always stay in the room while your candle is burning. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Keep Away from Flammables: Position candles away from furniture, drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, and flammable decorations.
Out of Reach: Keep burning candles out of the reach of children and pets.
Extinguishing: Use a candle snuffer to extinguish your candle. This prevents hot wax from splattering and minimizes smoke.
Cool Before Relighting: Let the candle cool completely before trimming the wick and relighting.
Following these guidelines ensures the best burning experience with your beeswax pillar candles, enhancing their longevity and the ambiance of your space. Enjoy the natural beauty and warmth of your candles safely and responsibly.
