Products
For coffee products, please look at the expiry date listed. For candles, the product life cycle is dependent on various external factors which include oxygen explore levels, storing of the candles, keeping out of direct sunlight. We suggest keeping your candles out of direct sunlight, in a cool and dry place. All our candles will typically last for an average of 6 months.
It is important to take note of candle care tips so that your candle will last and burn well.
First Burn
When you first light your candle, allow the wax to melt all the way to the outer edges of the container. Allowing a full melt pool guarantees an even burn (no tunneling) and maximum scent throw.
Maximum Session Burn Times
Never burn a candle for longer than four hours at a time. If a candle is burnt for excessive periods without being allowed to re-solidify, the excessive heat will cause the essential oil to burn out faster than it should.
Best Before Date
As all our candles are scented with plant-based, all-natural essential oils, we highly recommend using them within six months from the date of purchase.
Putting Candles Out
Cover the candle with the lid to put the candle out. Blowing out a candle is not recommended as the wick may continue to glow and emit smoke.
Candle Displays
When creating decorative candle displays, candles should be separated from each other by a minimum of 10cm to prevent burn problems. Candles that are burnt too close together will affect each candle's burn quality.
Candle Storage
To ensure your candles are kept in optimum condition, keep them out of direct sunlight and store them in a cool, dark place.
Wick
We use 100% cotton, lead-free wicks. To provide the cleanest burn possible, trim your cotton wick to ¼ inch with a wick trimmer before lighting.
Half Inch Rule
Discontinue use of a candle when there is ½ inch of wax left at the bottom of the jar. This will prevent possible heat damage to the counter/surface, or the container itself.
Safety
Do not leave candles unattended and place away from children and pets. Always place candles on a heat-resistant base, and set on a leveled and stable surface.
Store your jewellery in an open space at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight and space with high moisture content like bathroom, storeroom or drawer.
