Use & Care
Place your candle on a heat resistant surface before lighting.
Trim the wick slightly before each burn to help maintain an even flame.
Allow the wax to melt to the edges during use for a more even burn.
Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep away from children, pets, drafts, and flammable objects.
Our premium soy blend's high-fragrance load can naturally develop bronze sheens on glass—a signature of hand-poured South African artistry. Perfectly safe, no performance impact.
