Candle Safety & Tips

We want you to enjoy your Foxlight candle for as long as possible, whilst also ensuring your safety. 

Wax Has Memory

  • The first time you light your candle, allow the wax to pool all the way to the outer edges of the glass jar. Allowing a full melt pool creates even burn and maximum fragrance throw, whilst also preventing tunneling.

Candle Placement

  • Always burn candles on a flat, heat-resistant surface
  • Never leave a lit candle unattended
  • Don't leave a candle burning while you are sleeping
  • Keep away from children and pets
  • Keep away from drafts e.g. fans, doorways, or windows

    Longevity

    • Keep the wood wick trimmed in between burns. Not trimming the wick at all can lead to a larger flame and your candle burning too hot. This can also create sooting
    • Alternatively, If the wick is trimmed too short, it can become buried by the wax as the candle burns, please trim carefully to around 5mm
    • If your candle’s flame starts to burn or flicker wildly and does not calm down, extinguish your candle, wait a few hours, then trim the cooled wick before relighting
    • Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at one time

      Keep It Safe

      • Discard or recycle your candle jar when there is 10mm of wax left
      • Do not add dried flowers or debris to the candle, as any foreign object can get too close to the flame, catch fire, and result in damage (burning under/near dried flowers or pampas is also a fire risk)
      • Do not use room sprays or other flammable sprays near open flame
      • Never move or touch the candle jar when the wax is in liquid form
      • Never extinguish a candle with water - snuffing a candle is the best way to extinguish!
