Candle Care and Safe Use
Candle Care and Safe Use
- All charms must be removed from the wax prior to burning. This includes pearls if included.
- Remove crystals from the wax if desired prior to burning. You may keep the crystals in the candle while it burns, though you must keep an eye on them to ensure they do not fall into the flame. Soot may form on your crystals from the smoke. If so, use a paper towel to gently wipe them clean after burning once the crystals are cooled.
- If a crystal is touching the wick, remove the crystal prior to burning.
- For stubborn crystals that won't easily pop out of the wax, light your candle so the wax melts. Carefully extinguish the flame, let the wax cool down enough so that you can easily extract the crystal.
- Full sized herbs (ex: rose buds) must be removed prior to burning. Crushed herbs and crystal chips can remain in the wax.
- Candle jars can be hot to the touch. Do not move them while they are actively burning or cooling down after extinguishing the flame.
- Trim the wick around 1/4th of an inch long after every burn session, after the candle has cooled down completely.
- Do not burn for more than 3 hours at a time. Burning a candle for too long can cause the jar to become too hot and the flame can become too big. This can lead to the jar cracking from high temperatures.
- Do not leave your candle near windows, vents, or active ceiling fans. Never leave your candle unattended. Do not leave your candle in reach of children or pets.
- Anything that has a flame is considered a fire hazard. It is up to the customer to create a safe environment. Darkly Divine Crystals is not responsible for how the customer chooses to use their candles.
