Every Lunaries candle is designed to burn slowly and evenly when treated with care. Wooden wicks create a softer, more grounded flame than cotton wicks. They are meant to be trimmed and maintained. When you care for the wick, the candle responds.
The First Burn
The first burn shapes the entire life of the candle. Allow the wax to melt fully to the edges of the jar before extinguishing. This creates an even surface and supports a clean, balanced burn moving forward. Depending on the room, this usually takes around two to three hours.
Choose a quiet moment for the first burn. Let it settle. Let it open properly.
Wick Care
Before each relight, trim the wooden wick to approximately one-eighth to one-quarter inch. Once the candle has completely cooled, gently remove the charred top layer using a wick trimmer or your fingers. The goal is a short, clean edge.
A maintained wick produces a steady flame, a calm glow, and a more refined burn experience.
Burn Rhythm
Limit each burn session to about four hours. Allow the wax to cool and reset before lighting again. This rhythm keeps the wax surface smooth and the fragrance balanced.
Placement
Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Keep away from drafts, vents, open windows, and fans. Keep away from children, pets, and flammable objects. Discontinue use when about one-quarter inch of wax remains at the bottom of the jar.
Lunaries candles are botanical, hand-poured, and intentionally crafted. Treat them with the same attention they were made with.
