General Safety and Burning Tips for Beeswax Candles

• Never leave a burning candle unattended.

• Keep candles away from children and pets.

• Keep candles away from flammable materials or overly crowded settings.

• Remove paper label or emblishments from candle before burning.

• Burn candles only in a draft-free environment away from fans, open windows, air ducts, etc. This will help to prevent any dripping or smoking.

• Do not add foreign substances to the melted wax pool (matches, paper, etc).

• Light the wick from the base of the wick, where the wick comes out of the candle, to allow the beeswax to absorb into the wick. A lighter works best.

• Trim the wick before use. Keep the wick trimmed to 1/4".

• Properly extinguish the candle flame with a snuffer, do not blow it out - this will cause splatters and smoldering wicks.
