      Candle care

      • First burn: Allow the wax pool to reach the edges before extinguishing — this prevents tunnelling and extends burn life.
      • Wick care: Trim the wick to 5 mm before every burn for a clean, steady flame.
      • Burn time: 2–4 hours at a time for best results. Never burn unattended or near flammable materials.
      • ✂️Trim the wickTrim to 5 mm (¼ inch) before every burn. A properly trimmed wick gives a clean, steady flame and prevents mushrooming or excess soot.
      • ⏱️First burn — the most importantOn your first burn, let the wax pool reach all the way to the edges of the vessel before extinguishing. This sets the memory ring and prevents tunnelling for the life of the candle.
      • 🕐Burn sessionsBurn for a maximum of 3–4 hours at a time. Allow the candle to cool completely before relighting. For sculptural pieces, we recommend 1-hour sessions to best preserve the form.
      • 📍PlacementPlace on a heat-resistant dish or tray. Keep away from draughts, open windows, and air vents — these cause uneven burning and excess smoke.
      • 🛑When to stopStop burning when approximately 1 cm of wax remains. Burning to the very base can overheat the container and damage the surface beneath.
      • ☀️StorageStore in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Prolonged UV exposure can fade the colour and affect fragrance strength.
      • 🔥SafetyNever leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from children, pets, and flammable materials. Always burn on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
      How do I prevent my candle from tunnelling?

      The most important step is the first burn. Let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the vessel before extinguishing — this sets the memory ring. If the candle tunnels from a missed first burn, a longer subsequent burn session and a candle warmer can help recover the pool.

      Why is there white powder or bloom on my candle?

      White bloom (frosting) is a completely natural characteristic of 100% soy wax. It happens when the wax recrystallises — especially in temperature changes. It does not affect burn quality or fragrance throw. It is actually a sign that your candle is made from natural soy, not a blend.

      My candle is producing black soot — what should I do?

      Soot is almost always caused by an untrimmed wick. Extinguish the candle, let it cool, and trim the wick to 5 mm before relighting. Also check for draughts — any air movement can cause an unsteady flame and excess carbon deposits.

      Can I burn sculptural candles or will they melt out of shape?

      Yes, they are fully functional. Sculptural candles are designed to be burned, though the form will gradually change as the wax melts. For display longevity, keep burn sessions to 1 hour. Place on a heat-resistant dish to catch any pooled wax and protect the surface beneath.

      Are Votive candles safe around pets?

      Yes. Our candles use phthalate-free fragrance oils, lead-free cotton wicks, and 100% natural soy wax — no paraffin, no toxins. As with any open flame, keep candles out of reach of animals and never leave burning candles unattended in rooms where pets are unsupervised.

      How long will my candle burn?

      Burn time depends on size. Small pieces (2–4 oz): 20–35 hours. Medium (6–8 oz): 40–60 hours. Large sculptures (10–14 oz): 60–100 hours. Keeping the wick trimmed and avoiding draughts will maximise burn time.

      FAQ

      Yes. Each candle in this collection is hand-poured with non-GMO natural soy wax and IFRA-approved scented oils. We never use fragrance oils flagged for inhalation hazards. All our ingredients are sourced from reputable suppliers with full safety documentation. This ensures our candles are safe for daily use — even in homes where air quality and well-being truly matter.

      Yes, scented candle jars are safe when used correctly. Our candles are hand-poured in heat-resistant glass jars with eco-friendly soy wax, cotton wicks, and phthalate-free fragrance oils to ensure a clean and safe burn. Always place your candle on a stable, heat-safe surface, keep the wick trimmed to ¼ inch before each use, and never leave a burning candle unattended. Jars are designed to contain melted wax and prevent spills, making them both practical and decorative for your home.

      Absolutely. Our Coastal Wellness candles are free from toxic compounds and scented oils flagged for respiratory concerns. They're developed with families like Lily's in mind — safe for people and pets, and made with pure soy wax and sustainable standards.

      Each candle is poured to ensure an even, clean burn, with burn times ranging from 25 to 45 hours depending on size. Thanks to the pure soy wax and our optimized wicks, the fragrance disperses consistently without tunneling or soot.

      Yes—our non-GMO soy wax and soot-free wicks make jar cleaning simple and safe. Once about ¼″ of wax remains, extinguish the candle and let it cool completely. Use a rigid silicone tool (avoid metal) to remove leftover wax. Wash the jar in hot, soapy water or pop it in the dishwasher once it's fully clean. You'll have a beautiful glass container perfect for repurposing as a vase, pen holder, or storage cup—supporting eco-friendly living and cutting waste in line with Votive's sustainability ethos.

      🦺 SAFETY FIRST

      • Do not leave lit candles unattended; extinguish them if you leave the room.
      • Keep candles out of children's reach.
      • Store in cool, dark places, away from sunlight.
      • Given the type of candle, ensure you use a stable, heat-resistant surface.
