Candle Care
How to care for your candle.
Here are a few simple tips to help you enjoy your Thyme Within candle safely and prolong the life of both your candle and vessel.
Wick Care
Before each burn, trim the wick to approximately 5mm. After each burn, gently reset your wick while the wax is still soft.
First Burn
Allow the wax to melt to the edge of your candle container on the first burn. This usually takes between 2–4 hours and helps prevent tunnelling.
Following Burn Times
Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. This helps extend the life of your candle and container.
Keep It Clean
Keep the candle surface clean and free from wick trimmings, matches and debris to ensure a safer, cleaner burn.
Stay Safe
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from children, pets, aquatics, drafts and anything flammable. Always place on a heatproof, stable surface.
Stop At 1cm
Discontinue use when there is approximately 1cm of wax remaining. Burning beyond this point may overheat the container.
Reuse Your Jar
A second life for your vessel.
Once your candle has finished, place the container in warm water for a few minutes to soften any remaining wax. Wipe clean with a soft cloth, then reuse for pens, plants, storage or your Thyme Within refill.
