Crowfoot Collective Beeswax Fluted Pillar Candle - Cranberry

Because of Crowfoot Collective's carefully blended wax recipe, if you take care of your candle it will last for an exceptionally long time!

• Trim the wick after each burn to 1/4", slightly longer for tapered candles. Trimming the wick will ensure that the candle burns evenly. It will eliminate any soot or char on the wick, and prevent any smoking of the wick. If your wick smokes when extinguished, you didn’t trim your wick enough. Try blowing it out, trimming it, and relighting.
• For pillar candles, as the candle burns down, gently thumb in the melted wax inwards, to contain the wax pool. This will prevent wax from dripping. As the fluting melts to extinguish, smartly press the wick into the wax pool. This will not only ensure the absence of smoke but will re-coat the wick for the next lighting.
• Never leave matches or trimmed piees of wick in the candle. The debris can act like an additional wick causing your candle to burn too hot. A flame that is close to the edge can cause wax to spill out and run down your candle making a mess.
• Under most conditions our candles are virtually dripless. Candles are sensitive to air movement and may start to flicker and smoke if exposed to drafts. When a flame flickers, the candle may drip. If your candle drips, extinguish it, remove it from any drafts and relight it. Forced are furnaces, ceiling fans and quick movements around the candle all create drafts.
• Bloom is a whitish patina that may form over time This is the natural rising of minerals and oils to the surface, and may be wiped away with a lint-free cloth.

We assume no liability for a candle burned without care or due attention.
