Candle Care

Sculptural candles are great as a decorative feature, however should you wish to burn them for short periods of time please adhere to the following recommendations. 

Due to the nature of these types of candles, once lit, wax will melt in an unpredictable manner. To avoid damage to your surfaces, please place your candle on a large ceramic dish, on a flat surface before lighting. 

Each candle is individually hand crafted, and like the ancient and contemporary sculptures that inspire them, small imperfections such as micro air bubbles or light frosting may be expected between pieces.  

CandlesCo scented vessel candles are hand poured in Perth with only the finest soy blend waxes, lead free cotton wicks and premium oils.

To ensure an even and smoke-free burn we recommend the following care: 
  • Before each light, please ensure to trim your wick to 5mm and place your candle on a flat heat proof surface. 
  • Did you know that soy wax has a memory? In order to get the most out of your CandlesCo scented candle, please ensure you allow the melt pool to reach the outer edges of the vessel to avoid tunnelling on subsequent burns. 
  • Please never leave your candle unattended. Keep away for children, pets, home furnishings and drafts. 
  • To preserve your fragrance, it's recommended not burn your candle for longer than two hours at a time.
