Wax with uneven surface and air bubbles may occur, this is due to the natural ingredients used and without additives added. This does not affect the performance of the candles.

 Allow the wax to melt to the edge of the ceramic cup on the first burn to create a full “melt pool”. This is to ensure the candle is burnt all the way to the edge instead of just burning down the middle and creating a tunnel. Do not burn your candle longer than 4 hours at a time. 
Trim the wick to 3mm before every burn. • • • • • • • • [Warning]
 Always burn candles within sight. Never burn candles near flammable items. Keep candles away from children and pets.
The ceramic cup will heat up when the candle is lit. So do not touch or move the candle around or you may get injured. Please also ensure the surface where you put your candle is heat-resistant.
