Candle Care Instructions

It is important to properly care for your candle not just for safety but to maintain the high quality soy wax has to offer.

TRIM THE WICK

Trim the wick to 1/4" before EVERY use not just the first time you light your candle. Be mindful that El Faro Candle Co. may have completed the first cut for you so be sure to check it first and trim it yourself each time after your first use. 

MELT THE TOP

Let your candle burn for at least one hour the first time to allow for the melted wax to reach the edges. This will prevent a “memory ring" which causes candle tunneling.

SAFETY FIRST 

Do NOT burn continuously for more than 4 hours. This will prevent the candle vessel from overheating and cracking. Always light your candle on a stable, flat surface away from other flammable materials. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from children and pets. 

Visit the National Candle Association for more information on candle burning and safety tips. 


REUSE YOUR AMBER VESSEL

Soy wax is natural and biodegradable. It cleans up with dish washing liquid and water. You can reuse your amber container to store solid, liquid or powder, such as spice, salt, lotion, candle, ointments and more.
