CANDLES

BEFORE BURNING

Before lighting your Glow Therapy Candle, first find a heat resistant surface out of reach of children and pets. Make sure your area is free from materials that could potentially catch fire and or fall into your candle. If you have burned your candle previously, make sure your candle is free from any wick trimmings or debris. This is the best way to avoid soot and smoke.

DURING BURN

While burning your candle, make sure you allow the melted wax to reach the edge of the container before you put it out. This helps keep your candle from tunneling. Tunneling is when only the center of the wax right around the wick melts and burns down. This will minimize your burn time, and not allow for the best use of your candle. 

AFTER BURN

Keeping your wick trimmed is an important part of ensuring your candle has a good burn. A tip in doing this is to hold your solidified candle upside down when trimming so that no debris falls into the wax. 

Rule of thumb is to keep your wicks trimmed to about ¼ inch before burning. This helps maximize burn time and prevents mushrooming. Mushrooming is carbon build up on the wick. This can sometimes be common when using natural waxes. Failure to trim a mushroomed wick may result in initial “popping”, higher flame lengths, soot, and or smoke. 

We want your candles to provide a relaxing and positive experience. Please keep your candles clean and use these tips to take care of them.

WAX MELTS & WARMERS

WAX MELTER

Our wax melts come in a package of six. Break one piece of the wax and set it into your wax warmer tray. Do not overfill your wax warmer with the melt. Make sure your warmer is sitting on a flat heat resistant surface. Do not allow any debris or foreign objects to fall into the melted wax. Do not melt longer than 4 hours. Keep away from small children and pets. Turn off and unplug before cleaning. 

CANDLE WARMER

Use only tempered glass or metal containers. Containers will get hot so please do not allow hot plate to come in contact with skin. Some candles do tend to overflow while melting so please watch carefully. Do not move warmer when supporting container of hot wax. Do not allow cord to hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces. 18 oz or smaller candles recommended. 

DIFFUSERS

Place diffuser on an even flat surface. Unscrew lid and remove plastic stopper. Replace lid and insert all sticks in the middle of the lid. Please be careful with the diffuser and try not too spill oil. If oil is spilled clean up immediately. Keep out of reach for children and pets. 

SAGE

Before burning, open the door or windows.  Light sage and let flame burn for 20 seconds then blow out. Do not leave unattended. Do not set on flammable surface.
