When using, place the candle on a fireproof, stable and unobstructed surface, away from flammable materials such as curtains and paper, while maintaining a safe distance of more than 30cm; never leave a lit candle unattended, and be sure to extinguish it when leaving the room or going to sleep; do not let children or pets come into contact with burning candles; it is recommended to burn for no more than 3 hours each time, and trim the wick to 5-8mm after it cools down to avoid excessive flame and black smoke.
You can choose according to your usage needs and scenarios: ① For sleep aid and relaxation, select wooden scents (such as cedarwood, sandalwood) and floral scents (such as lavender, chamomile), suitable for bedrooms and bedtime use; ② For refreshing and invigorating, choose citrus scents (such as orange, grapefruit) and herbal scents (such as mint, eucalyptus), ideal for studies and offices; ③ To create a warm atmosphere, opt for fruit scents (such as strawberry, peach) and sweet scents (such as vanilla, caramel), perfect for living rooms and gatherings; ④ Pregnant women or those with sensitive skin are advised to prioritize mild fragrances labeled "natural plant essential oils" and "no added fragrances", and try the scent in a small space before use.
The "tunneling effect" is mostly caused by not allowing the candle surface to fully melt during the first burn (it is recommended to burn for 2-4 hours for the first time until a uniform wax pool forms on the candle surface). If this situation has already occurred, after the candle cools down, gently scrape off the excess unmelted wax around with a blade to keep the wax surface around the wick flat; during subsequent use, ensure sufficient burning time each time to allow the wax pool to spread evenly, while maintaining the wick length within the standard range.
It is not a quality issue! The fragrance release of scented candles mainly relies on the heat during burning to volatilize and diffuse the essential oils. Only a faint fragrance is emitted when unlit, especially natural essential oil-based candles with even weaker cold fragrance, which is a normal phenomenon. If you want to smell a light fragrance even when unlit, you can place the candle in a well-ventilated small space (such as a wardrobe or bathroom), or gently scrape a small amount of wax shavings into a sachet.
Yes! The remaining wax can be collected for secondary use: ① For candles of the same fragrance, put the wax pieces into a heat-resistant container, melt them by heating in water, pour into a new candle container (with a new wick placed in advance), and it will become a new candle after cooling; ② Different fragrances can be mixed to create a "custom scent", or used to make scented wax slices (add dried flowers and hemp rope, hang for use after cooling); ③ If recycling is not needed, it is recommended to put the remaining wax pieces into a sealed bag after cooling and use them as dehumidification and deodorization bags in shoe cabinets and drawers.
