je mérite trouvaille - a duo of 8 oz serendipity and kismet candles inspired by the art of unexpected discovery the grounding incense of nag champa meets the comfort of warm tea, a pairing that honors the lucky finds we stumble upon when we pause, soften, and listen to the quiet light within The first burn - during the first burn, allow your candle to create a full melt pool, which means the wax has melted completely to the edges of the container this usually takes about 2-4 hours, depending on the candle size. Clean the wax - before each subsequent use, ensure there is no debris, matches, or wick trimmings in the wax pool. Remove any such materials before relighting the candle. Trim the wick - your wick should be about ¼ inch (0. 6 cm) in length each time you light. This helps prevent excessive flickering, mushrooming, and soot buildup and long wicks can also cause the candle to burn faster! Burn in intervals - after your first burn, we recommended to burn your candle in intervals of 2-3 hours at a time. This prevents your candle from getting too hot and extends burn life. Extinguishing properly - when you're ready to extinguish the candle, use a snuffer or gently blow it out. Wax can easily spill when melted, make sure to cool and then apply the cap securely. Storage - store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Exposure to heat or sunlight for extended periods can cause the candles to melt or fade. Remember to reuse and recylce - when the wick is burnt away, clean your vessel with warm water. Remove all the wax, remove the wick base. Refuse or recycle your clean vessel - remember to recycle your packaging too! Coconut Wax 50%, Soy Wax 50%
