Candle Care Tips

At Harmony Essence Creations, we want you to enjoy every moment with your candles. Follow these simple tips to ensure you get the most out of your candle experience:

🕯️ Trim the Wick: Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) to prevent excessive smoking and ensure a clean, even burn.

🕯️ Let it Burn: Allow the candle to melt across the entire surface during the first burn to prevent tunneling and ensure an even burn in subsequent uses.

🕯️ Burn Time: Avoid burning your candle for more than 4 hours at a time to prevent overheating and extend its lifespan.

🕯️ Safety First: Always place your candle on a heat-resistant surface and away from drafts, children, and pets. Never leave a burning candle unattended.

🕯️ Avoid Tunneling: If tunneling occurs, gently push the wax around the edges inward before relighting to even out the surface.

🕯️ Extinguish Safely: Use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame to extinguish your candle. Avoid using the lid or blowing forcefully.

🕯️ Reusing Containers: Clean out any remaining wax with hot, soapy water once your candle has burned down to repurpose the container for other uses.

🕯️ Storage: Store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve their fragrance and color.

🕯️ Soy Wax Benefits: Soy wax may develop a ‘frost’ or ‘bloom’ on the surface, which is natural and does not affect performance. Simply wipe it off with a soft cloth if desired.

🕯️ Enjoy the Aroma: Take time to enjoy the aroma and ambiance created by your candle. Light it in moments of relaxation, meditation, or whenever you need a little self-care.
