Our luxury scented candles are made from all-natural, vegan friendly soy wax and offer a burn time of 90 hours. To ensure you get the most out of those 90 hours, we recommend the following: Trim the candle wick to 3mm before first lighting it for a clean burn. When you first use your candle, keep it away from draughts and lit for around 2 hours, or until the wax has pooled to the edge. This will prevent tunnelling (which is when only a small circle of wax around the wick melts, rather than the entire surface of the candle burning evenly). Ideally, let the candle burn for 1 to 2 hours at a time. Avoid letting the candle burn all the way to the bottom. This protects the ceramic container and prevents it from becoming too hot to touch. And always protect the surface on which your candle sits.
