Each LUA candle is made from soy wax, carefully hand-poured and has approximately 60+ hours of burn time. We recommend following this guide to make sure you're getting a quality burn each time you enjoy your LUA candle.

Burn time

To prevent tunnelling and create a candle memory, let the wax melt all the way to the edge of the glass the first time you light your LUA candle. Never burn for more than four hours at a time.

Trim your wick before every use

It is normal in soy wax for your wicks to 'mushroom'. This is easily fixed by trimming your wick to 6mm. Trimming will ensure your candle does not burn hotter than it should and will prolong the candle's life. Trim the little ball on the end of your wick to keep your candle burning gently. Be sure not to cut it too short or it will become engulfed by wax.

Avoid draughts

Candles burn best in still air but if you can't avoid draughts, turn the candle periodically to avoid uneven burning and possible candle collapse. A candle in a draught may also start to smoke.

Candle storage

Candles are sensitive to temperature and light. Fragrances with a vanillin content may turn yellow if exposed to sunlight or fluorescent light. This is normal and does not affect the burning of the candle. Store your candles in an upright position.

Putting candles out

It is always best to use a candle dipper or snuffer rather than blowing out to prevent wicks from drifting off-centre and to avoid wax splash. This will help to maximize the candle's burn time.

Keep the burn pool clean

If you get any black at the time of your glass simply wipe it away with a damp cloth. This may be a sign that your wick is too long.

Lastly, enjoy your LUA candle!
