how to use.

light the candle.

For best results, we recommend letting the candle burn for 10–15 minutes, or until the top level of oil pools evenly and there is still solid candle oil underneath.

pour the oil.

Once extinguished, you’re ready to pour and apply the massage oil. You can either pour the oil directly onto the skin or apply with your fingertips and massage it in. The light and silky texture will moisturize and absorb into the skin, and can be reapplied as desired. 

extinguish the flame.

To extinguish your candle, gently blow out the flame and contain any smoke with the jar's lid. A wick snuffer works great, too. Never attempt to extinguish a candle using water.

clear the smoke.

If you smell an excessively smoky scent, this is caused by excess wick trimmings or ash having fallen into the oil pool. They should be removed before the next use.

care.

burn time.

The continuous burn time is upwards of 30 hours. We do not recommend burning the candles that long as trimmings are more likely to accumulate in the oil pool, and the candle is more likely to burn unevenly (making it difficult to use for future sessions). Instead, we recommend burning the candle in 10–15 minute increments for optimal burn consistency.

safety.

Ensure the wick is trimmed down to 1/4” prior to each lighting, being careful to prevent wick trimmings from accumulating in the wax pool and allowing the candle to burn uniformly. Burn your candle within sight, keeping it away from objects that can catch fire. Never leave your candle unattended or within the reach of children and pets.
