IMPORTANT NOTE: As Coconut Wax is a natural soft wax, it is prone to sweating if kept in warm weather for long periods of time. Although this doesn’t affect the candle in any way I recommend to store your candle inside or away from direct sunlight for long periods of time. Many people enjoy the scent of this oil blend and spark it up for pure enjoyment, not just for its buzz killing properties.

Unique & Perfectly Imperfect
As a handmade & natural candle, there will be subtle variations & imperfections from one piece to the next. This is what makes your candle unique, a piece of art!
You may notice white spots on the top of your candle or on the glass, this is known as 'frosting'. Frosting is a perfectly natural effect of using natural plant waxes. When your candle has frosting, it is a sign, it is made using only natural waxes. It does not, in any way, impact the performance of your candle, its just not so pretty.

What I love about this Collection is once your candle is fully burnt down, any remaining wax can be easily removed and washed out with hot soapy water, giving you a new vessel to enjoy.
Use as a new addition to your kitchen as a; g&t glass, shot glass or salad bowl, a statement table vase, a chic toothbrush holder or even
a pen holder in your office desk.

Spark It Up
Have you heard 'candle people' talk about a thing called a 'memory ring'? Well its a thing to know about!
Candles should burn one hour for every 2cm in diameter of the actual candle size.
For example, a candle that is 4cms across should burn for 2 hours.
If a candle does not burn for long enough to allow the wax to liquefy or to melt from edge to edge of the container, it will create a “memory ring.”
Once a candle has a “memory ring,” it will only burn to this line for the rest of its life. This is referred to "tunneling" in the candle world.
There’s a special beauty and tranquillity to candles, but a lit candle is also an open flame, and a potential fire hazard if not carefully monitored.
Please remove any large decor from the top of you candle before lighting.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended.
- Never burn a candle on or near anything that might catch fire, and
- Make sure to keep candles out of the reach of children and pets.
Check out the Spark it up page for more tips and tricks or the candle care card included in your package.
