Candle Care & Safety
Candle Care & Safety
Caring for your candle helps ensure a safe, even burn and allows you to enjoy your Terra & Light candle at its best.
Before lighting
Always place your candle on a heat-resistant surface.
Trim the wick to approximately 5mm before each burn.
Ensure the candle is free from debris such as wick trimmings or matches.
While burning
Burn within sight and keep away from draughts.
Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Allow the wax to melt fully across the surface on the first burn to help prevent tunnelling.
Do not burn for longer than 4 hours at a time.
After use
Allow the candle to cool completely before relighting.
Discontinue use when approximately 10mm of wax remains.
Ingredients & safety
Our candles are hand-poured in small batches using GMO-free soy wax and carefully selected fragrance oils.
