Candle Care & Safety Tips
At Shared Wick Candle Company, we take great pride in the care and craftsmanship that goes into each of our candles. Every candle is hand-poured with love, using sustainable materials and premium ingredients to ensure a clean, even burn and a long-lasting fragrance experience.
To help you enjoy your candle safely and to its fullest, we’ve gathered a few simple care tips below.
Before You Light
• Trim your cotton wick to ¼ inch and wood wick ⅛ inch before each burn to ensure a clean, even flame and prevent soot or flickering.
• Always remove any wick trimmings or debris from the wax before lighting.
• Place your candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, curtains, and anything flammable.
• Because our candles are made with 100% natural soy wax, you may notice light frosting. This is completely normal and does not affect the scent or burn.
While Burning
• Allow your candle to melt completely across the surface on the first burn — this prevents tunneling and helps it burn evenly every time.
• Burn your candle for no more than 3–4 hours at a time.
• Never leave a burning candle unattended or within reach of pets or children.
• Keep candles spaced at least 3 inches apart if burning more than one.
After You Enjoy
• Extinguish your candle gently using a snuffer or by dipping the wick into the wax, then straightening it again — this helps eliminate smoke and keeps the wick centered.
• Stop burning when about ½ inch of wax remains to prevent overheating the container.
• Once cooled, wipe away any residue, replace the lid, and store your candle in a cool, dry place until the next use.
