General Safety & Burning Tips for Beeswax Candles
Here at The Creative Hive in NZ, we specialise in pure beeswax candles where we do everything by hand with only beautiful natural ingredients. Every candle is carefully poured by hand in small batches, made with traditional skills & aroha in the beautiful Bay of Plenty.
-
Never leave a burning candle unattended
-
Keep candles away from children & pets
-
Keep candles away from flammable materials or overly crowed settings
-
Remove any paper or labels from the candle before burning
-
Always use a candle-holder specifically designed for candle use. The holder should be heat resistant, sturdy & large enough to contain any drips or melted wax
-
Burn candles in a draft free environment away from fans, open windows, air ducts etc. This will help prevent any dripping
-
Light the wick from the base of the wick, where the wick comes out of the candle to allow the beeswax to absorb the wick
-
Trim the wick before each use, keep it trimmed to about 1.5cm
