🧼 Candle Care & Safety

• Trim the cotton wick to 1/4″ before every lighting to help prevent excess soot or smoking.
• On the first burn, allow the wax pool to melt completely edge-to-edge across the jar to help prevent tunneling.
• Burn on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, open windows, pets, and children.
• Never leave a burning flame unattended. Extinguish completely after four hours of continuous use.
