Care & Use

Care & Use

Good things last longer when you know how to look after them.

Candles

A candle is mostly patience. Treat the first light well and every one after it will be better.

  • The first burn matters most. Let the melted wax reach the edge of the vessel before you put it out — usually two to three hours. This sets an even pool and helps the whole candle burn down flat instead of tunneling.
  • Trim the wick every time. Before each light, trim to about 5 mm. A short wick means a steady, smaller flame and far less soot.
  • Keep burns to about four hours. Longer than that and the flame grows and the glass gets hot. Give it a rest, trim, and relight.
  • Stop at the last centimeter. When roughly a centimeter of wax remains, retire the candle so the vessel does not overheat.
  • Burn away from drafts and never leave a lit candle unattended or near anything that can catch.

Reed diffusers

Set the diffuser on a surface you do not mind protecting — the oils can mark wood and painted finishes. Place all the reeds in the bottle, then flip them once after an hour to start the scent. Turn the reeds every week or so to refresh the throw. Keep the bottle out of direct sun and away from heat, and wash your hands after handling the oil.

Bath & body

  • Bath soaks: add a scoop to warm running water and let it dissolve before you step in. For external, home use only.
  • Body oils: warm a few drops between your palms and press into damp skin after a shower. A little goes a long way.
  • Soaps: let the bar dry on a draining dish between uses and it will last far longer.
  • Patch first. If your skin is sensitive, try a small amount on your forearm before regular use, and keep everything away from eyes.

Storage

Fragrance fades in light and heat. Store candles, oils, and diffusers somewhere cool, dry, and out of direct sun — a cupboard or a shelf away from the window is ideal. Keep lids on when a product is not in use, and keep everything out of reach of children and pets.
