WHY SOY WAX? Soy Wax is a cleaner and more natural alternative to petroleum-based paraffin wax candles. There are no hidden nasties, toxins, pollutants or carcinogens so are less likely to agitate allergies. Soy wax also burns cooler than paraffin waxes meaning your soy wax candle will generally last for 30-50% longer. Soy wax also holds the fragrance a lot better so your scent will be released a lot slower and cleaner.

 

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY FIRE + SPICE CO CANDLE? 

  1. Trim Your Wick: Optimal wick length is approximately 0.5cm. Keeping your candle wicks nice and short ensures your candle will burn at the correct temperature and will smoke less.

  2. First Burn: We recommend you burn your Fire + Spice Co candle for at least 2-3 hours the first time, ensure that the entire surface of the candle is melted as this will set a memory in the wax for future burns.

  3. Allow Your Candle to Melt: Each time you light a Fire + Spice Co candle allow the entire surface of the candle to melt completely. This will ensure your candle will melt correctly and at an equal rate the whole way down.

  4. Keep to Recommended Burn Times: We recommend burning your candles for between 1 – 3 hours for optimal results. Burning for less than 1 hour may result in wax sticking to the side of your jar which may reduce burn time and drown your wick. Burning for more than 3 hours may cause your wick to burn hotter and evaporate the wax faster resulting in a shorter burn time.

  5. Keep A Lid On It: When not in use and where possible keep a lid on your Fire + Spice Co candle to retain the fragrance strength. Leaving the lid off your candle may result in a weaker fragrance the next time you light your candle.

  6. Storage: Store your candle out of direct sunlight in a cool and dry place.
