Candle Care
A well-cared-for candle rewards you with time, atmosphere, and quiet ritual.
Our candles are designed to be enjoyed slowly and intentionally.
Following these care guidelines will ensure the best burn, fragrance throw, and longevity from your Kind Essentials candle.
First Burn
The first burn is the most important.
Allow the candle to burn long enough for the wax to melt fully to the edges of the vessel. This helps prevent tunnelling and ensures an even burn for the life of your candle.
Trim the Wick
Always trim the wick to approximately 5mm before each burn.
This helps:
-
Maintain a steady flame
-
Reduce soot
-
Extend the life of your candle
A trimmed wick creates a cleaner, more refined burn.
Burn Time
For best results:
-
Burn your candle for no longer than 4 hours at a time
-
Allow the wax to cool and solidify before relighting
This preserves fragrance quality and protects the vessel.
Candle Placement
Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from:
-
Drafts
-
Direct sunlight
-
Flammable objects
Always burn within sight and keep out of reach of children and pets.
When to Stop Burning
Discontinue use when approximately 10mm of wax remains at the bottom of the vessel.
Burning beyond this point may cause the vessel to overheat.
Caring for Your Space
Our candles are crafted using high-quality fragrance oils. As with all fragranced products, sensitivity can vary.
We recommend:
-
Burning in a well-ventilated space
-
Allowing fragrance to gently fill the room
-
Extinguishing if irritation occurs
After Use
To extinguish your candle:
-
Use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the wax and straighten it
-
Avoid blowing directly into the vessel
Once cooled, your candle vessel may be reused or recycled.
