Caring for your candles

All WaxWing Poetic candles are hand-poured in our studio using clean-burning luxury coconut apricot wax. Soon after you light your candle you'll notice a difference in the way our coconut apricot wax burns in comparison to a large batch soy or paraffin wax candle. Coconut wax candles burn more slowly and softly and will have a longer burn time than a comparable paraffin wax candle.  

We have worked hard to ensure that your candle burns cleanly and not too hot.  However, always follow best practices when burning candles.  

  • Place your candle on a flat, stable, non-flammable surface.
  • Burn your candle for at least two hours the first time.
  • Trim wicks to 1/4 inch for cleaner burns; they are trimmed to this length when you receive them.
  • Never leave lit candle unattended.
  • Never burn more than 4 hours at one time.
  • Keep away from pets and children.
  • Do not leave near open window or flammable objects.
  • Do not store in sunny, warm areas (so they do not melt).
