Any company producing candles for consumer use needs to consider HOW their candles will burn, for both safety and marketability reasons. We understand that achieving an optimal, safe burn and exceeding customer expectations both play crucial roles in repeat sales and brand loyalty.

Always store candles in a cool, dry and dark area.

Do not leave on stove or other hot surfaces.

Hot temperatures and direct sunlight may damage a candle's shape, color and texture.

Trim a cool wick to 1/4-inch to insure a clean, smoke-free burn.

Allow candle to dry completely before lighting if the candle gets wet.

Before guests arrive, it is a good idea to light then extinguish the candles.
The candles will light quicker and easier later.

Allow candles to cool completely before relighting.

Avoid spilling wax on any surface. Spills may result in permanent stain.

Wax spilled on most washable fabrics may be removed with the following procedures:

1) Remove all excess wax.
2) Pre-treat with a degreaser.
3) Place the soiled area of fabric under hot running water - the hottest water temperature recommended on the care label. OR Place the fabric on a white paper towel with the backside of the fabric facing up. Release the wax with the warmest iron setting recommended on the care label.

Approximate burn times:

Small Pillar, 14-oz., 3-inch diameter: 35 to 45 hours
Large Pillar, 1.5-lb., 4-inch diameter: 70 to 80 hours
Tall Pillar, 1.3-lb., 6-inch tall: 60 to 70 hours

Candles should be placed three inches apart to avoid melting one another.

When the entire top of the candle is warm, it may be reshaped by gently pressing on the sides and curving the top inward. (Remember to extinguish the candle first!)

Rotate the candle occasionally to avoid uneven burning from drafts.

Candle Wax Facts

Prior to the 19th century, a "wax" candle typically referred to a beeswax candle.
All waxes are primarily hydrocarbons, whether the wax is of animal, vegetable, or petroleum origin. The chemical composition of all waxes used for candle-making is similar.
An estimated 1 billion pounds of wax are used in the candles sold each year in the United States.
Candles account for the second largest use of waxes in North America, after packaging and package coatings.
Paraffin is the most commonly used candle wax today. Beeswax, soy wax, palm wax, gels, and synthesized waxes are also used in candle-making for the U.S. market, as are blends of waxes.
Waxes burn with a yellow flame due to the presence of carbon.
No specific type of wax or wax blend is considered "best" for candle making. All candle waxes - when provided in high-quality format - have been shown to burn cleanly, safely and in the same manner.
No candle wax has ever been shown to be toxic or harmful to human health.
There is no such thing as a soot-free wax. All organic compounds when burned will emit some carbon (soot) due to incomplete combustion. Sooting is primarily a factor of wick length and flame disturbance.
Reputable candle manufacturers use only high-quality waxes in their formulations.

Beeswax

Beeswax is a natural wax produced in the bee hive of honey bees of the genus Apis. It is mainly esters of fatty acids and various long chain alcohols. Beeswax candles are preferred in churches because they burn cleanly, with little or no wax dripping down the sides and little visible smoke. Beeswax is also prescribed as the material (or at least a significant part of the material) for the Paschal candle ("Easter candle") and is recommended for other candles used in the liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church. Beeswax is used commercially to make fine candles.

Beeswax is a tough wax formed from a mixture of several compounds.

Beeswax has a high melting point range, of 62 to 64 °C (144 to 147 °F). If beeswax is heated above 85 °C (185 °F) discoloration occurs. The flash point of beeswax is 204.4 °C (399.9 °F).

Carnauba wax (Palm Wax)

Carnauba (English pronunciation: /kɑːrˈnɔːbə/ or /kɑːrˈnaʊbə/), also called Brazil wax and palm wax, is a wax of the leaves of the palm Copernicia prunifera, a plant native to and grown only in the northeastern Brazilian states of Piauí, Ceará, and Rio Grande do Norte. It is known as "queen of waxes" and usually comes in the form of hard yellow-brown flakes. It is obtained from the leaves of the carnauba palm by collecting them, beating them to loosen the wax, then refining and bleaching the wax.

Carnauba wax is sold in several grades, labeled T1, T2, and T4, depending on the purity level. Purification is accomplished by filtration, centrifugation, and bleaching.

Paraffin

Paraffin wax (or simply "paraffin", but see alternative name for kerosene, above) is mostly found as a white, odorless, tasteless, waxy solid, with a typical melting point between about 46 and 68 °C (115 and 154 °F), and having a density of around 0.9 g/cm3. It is insoluble in water, but soluble in ether, benzene, and certain esters. Paraffin is unaffected by most common chemical reagents, but burns readily.

Soy

Soy candles are candles made from soy wax, which is a processed form of soybean oil. They are usually container candles, because soy wax typically has a lower melting point than traditional waxes, but can also be made into pillar candles if certain additives are mixed into the soy wax.

Soy wax is a hydrogenated form of soybean oil. It is typically softer than paraffin wax and with a lower melting temperature, in most combinations. However, additives can raise this melting point to temperatures typical for paraffin-based candles. The melting point ranges from 120 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on the blend. Soy wax is available in flake and pellet form and has an off-white, opaque appearance. Its lower melting temperature can mean that candles will melt in hot weather. Since soy wax is usually used in container candles, this is not much of an issue.

Some soy candles are made up of a blend of different waxes, including beeswax, paraffin, or palm wax.

Candle making additives that are sometimes used in soy candle making include: stearic acid, Vybar (a trademarked polymer), mineral oil, petrolatum, luster crystals, dye/pigment, fragrance (natural or artificial), paraffin wax, ultraviolet absorbers, and bht crystals.

Standard labeling of soy candles is not enforced, therefore any claims of benefits of these candles are not regulated. Yet there are studies claiming its safety over other waxes when candles are used heavily.

More than 15,000 candle fires are reported annually. According to fire experts, the bulk of candle-fire incidents are due to consumer inattention to basic fire safety or to the misuse of candles.
Few things are as captivating as the soft light and glow of a candle. But there's an art to burning a candle properly and safely. You can generally tell if a candle is burning properly just by looking at it.

Know what to look for:

A Calm, Steady Flame

This means that the candle's burning process is in balance. The wick is efficiently pulling up the right amount of wax, which is then being "consumed" by the flame to produce water vapor and carbon dioxide.

No Flickering or Wisps of Smoke

Constant flickering and smoking occur when the teardrop shape of the flame is disturbed. This allows small amounts of unburned carbon particles (soot) to escape from the flame as a visible wisp of smoke.
If too much (or too little) air reaches the candle flame, it will disturb the flame's teardrop shape, causing it to soot. To avoid this, always burn your candles in a well-ventilated room, away from drafts, vents or strong air currents.

No Flare Ups or Leaping Flames

A too-long wick can cause a candle flame to grow too long and flare. That's why it is so important to trim the wick to ¼ inch before every use.
Always keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches and other debris that could catch fire from the flame.
If you like to group your candles, make sure they are at least 3 inches apart when burning. Candles placed too closely together can create their own draft and cause the candles to flare.

Always Remember....

NEVER LEAVE A BURNING CANDLE UNATTENDED!

Never burn a candle to a point less than 1/2 inch from the candle bottom. DISCONTINUE USE OF THE CANDLE WHEN 1/2 INCH REMAINS. This will prevent damage to furniture and/or possible candle container breakage.

Extinguishing the candle flame with a candlesnuffer is the preferred method. If a candlesnuffer is not available, extinguish the candle by holding your finger in front of the flame before blowing. This will cause airflow around the finger, extinguishing the candle from both sides, and will prevent hot wax from spattering.

Keep all flammable items, children and pets away from burning candles.

It is always best to burn candles in appropriate holders placed on heat resistant surfaces.

Do not place candles in or around decorative room fragrance, which can easily catch on fire.

Keep the wax pool free of all wick trimmings, matches or foreign objects that could present a fire hazard.

Never burn candles in cracked, chipped or damaged containers.

Do not allow the flame to contact the container's surface directly.

Place lighted candles at least 3 inches apart from one another.

Never touch or move any candle or candle container when the wax is liquid.

Keep candles out of drafts while burning.

Extinguish candle if it smokes, flickers repeatedly, or flame becomes too high.

Practice safety when burning a candle never leave it near a curtain or other material

And never put a burning candle in a book shelf to burn!
