How Long Does My Candle Need To Cure?

What Ingredients Are In Your Candles?
Our candles are made from Soy Wax and Paraben-Free Fragrance Oils. They are vegan and cruelty-free.
How Should I Burn My Candle For The Best Results?
Allow the candle to burn long enough for the wax to melt evenly across the surface to avoid tunneling and always trim the wick to 0.5 cm before lighting.
What Is Tunneling?
Tunnelling occurs when a candle burns down the centre of the wax, leaving a ring of unmelted wax around the edges. This usually happens if the candle isn’t burned long enough for the wax to melt evenly across the surface on the first burn. To avoid tunneling, allow your candle to burn until the entire top layer of wax has melted during each use
How Long Does A Candle Typically Burn?
Burn time varies depending on the size of the candle but our 220g candles burn between 40–45 hours and our 75g candles burn between 10-12 hours.
