For the longest, safest burn, follow these tips:

• A long first burn is NOT necessary for this coconut apricot wax candle.
• Trim the wick to 1/4 inch (6mm) before each burn to prevent soot and excessive flickering.
• Keep the wick centered for an even burn. If it shifts, gently reposition it with a matchstick while the wax is still soft.
• Never let the flame touch the sides of the jar.
• Burn no more than 4 hours at a time, and discontinue use when 1/4 inch (6mm) of wax remains in the jar.
• Always burn your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, fans, and flammable materials.
• NEVER leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
• Allow the wax to cool completely before moving the candle.
• Keep the lid off until the smoke is released after snuffing the candle to prevent the smoky smell from mixing with the wax.
• Do not touch the vessel while the candle is burning to avoid burns.
• To put out any candle fires, always use a fire blanket or fire extinguisher, NEVER use water.

Repurposing to extend the magic:

• Wipe the inner rim of the vessel with a dry cloth.
• Once the candle is finished, clean out any remaining wax with hot water, and repurpose it as a sacred vessel for crystals, incense cones, or keepsakes.
