Candle Care

That first burn:

When lighting your candle for the first time, allow it to burn so that the wax pools out to the edge of the jar - this helps prevent tunnelling or candle memory. Try not burn your candle for longer than 4 hours at a time. This will ensure the glass doesn't get too hot, and the melted wax doesn't become to excessive.

Wick trimmers:

You can use scissors or one of our wick trimmers to trim your wicks. A trimmed wick will give you a cleaner, brighter burn every time and eliminate those black burn rings around the jar.

The After burn:

Keep your candles upright and out of the sun or heat. Soy wax has a low melting point and some fragrance oils will discolour in sunlight (this will not affect the scent in any way) Stop burning your Luna Scents candle once it is approximately 1cm from the base of the container. Do not place your scented candle on a heated surface, or near a fire - this will speed up the burn time and your candle will need refilling sooner (or cause the container to explode). If burning more than one of our candles at a time please give them some space - they like at least 10cm between.
