100% Natural Palm Wax
Burning Tips and Safety

• Place your candle on protected, heat-resistant surface, and away from anything flammable. 

• Trim the wick to one-quarter inch before lighting. Although our palm wax candles have all-natural “self-trimming wicks” the wick should be trimmed when too much of the burned wick remains. Be sure to remove any wick debris, matches, or combustible material from the wax pool. When extinguishing wicks, push the wick into the melted wax – disposable knives are great for this - to eliminate the after-burn smoke.  As your candle burns, the size of the wick flame can be controlled by either trimming the wick for a reduced flame, or carefully removing some of the melted wax to increase the wick flame.

• Ideally, burn your candle until the pool of wax extends to the edge of the jar, which varies depending on the size of the jar and the room conditions (for 16 oz. typically 1 to 1½ hours). Your candle has a "memory" and will not burn past the first burn line on subsequent uses.  Therefore, if it is important to you for your candle to burn to the edge, it must do so on the first burn. 

• Waxes burn differently. Soy and other waxes are consumed or completely melted quickly when burning. However, palm wax is a much harder wax and lasts longer than softer waxes. A palm wax candle requires a hotter wick to enable burning to the edge. You may observe after burning 15 or more hours (or if burning for more than 3 hours at a time) that the previously melted wax becomes darker—this is due to the wax being scorched. This does not affect the scent throw or the healthy benefits of your palm wax candle…generally a softer wax burns away the scorched wax, but the palm wax can be burned numerous times before it is consumed.

• Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep burning candles within sight at all times.

• Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.

• Always light candles in draft-free areas on a level surface. If a draft cannot be avoided, or if candle is burning unevenly, turn the candle 180 degrees every hour.

• Discontinue use when your candle burns within one inch of the bottom.

• To guard your candle against fading, avoid placing in direct sunlight.
