How To Care For Your Natural Soy Candle

Simple steps for a longer lasting & clean burn

Your first burn is the most important

Allow your candle to burn for 4 hours or until the wax melts all the way to the edge of the vessel. This prevents future tunneling and ensures an even and clean burn every time.

Trim your wick

Before every burn, trim the wick to 1/4″. This keeps the flames small, ruduces soot, ensures an even controlled burn and helps make your candle last longer. Here is my favorite wick trimmer on Amazon.

Mind the burn time

Avoid burning your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. When you’re ready to extinguish your candle, use a wick dipper! Gently dip the wick into the melted wax and lift back upright to extinguish the flame with no smoke.

Our Clean Promise

Natural soy wax may develop a slightly rough or uneven surface after burning. This is completely normal and does not affect performance. In fact, it’s one of the easiest ways to recognize a truly clean candle made without added paraffin. All Harbor Lights candles are thoughtfully made using 100% natural soy wax, cotton wicks and phthalate-free fragrances.
