Candescent Tip: Whatever your wind-down looks like, start by igniting your candle. Here’s how..
light this when the world gets quiet
-
Before lighting, trim your wooden wick to 1/8 inch (about 3mm). A clean, short wick allows for an even flame and long-lasting burn. You can use our wick trimmers or simply pinch off the charred wood once the candle has cooled.
-
Hold your lighter or match to the base of the wick, allowing the flame to melt a bit of the surrounding wax. Give it a few seconds— wooden wicks take a moment to awaken.
-
On your first burn, allow the wax to melt edge to edge (typically 2-4 hours). This creates a smooth, even surface and ensures your candle remembers how to burn beautifully each time.
-
Before relighting, gently remove any burnt wood or debris from the surface. A clean wick ensures that signature Candescent glow and a pure scent experience.
-
Always place your candle on a stable, heat safe surface, away from drafts or flammable materials. For best results, limit each burn to no more than 4 hours.
A ritual, not routine.
Here, self-care is subtle. It is adult. It is earned. It’s a small luxury that asks for nothing but your presence. So before the world asks anything else of you, take your time and let Candescent light the way.
