Trimming your wick to 1/4 inch before each burn is key to a cleaner and safer candle experience. Whether you use cotton or wooden wicks, trimming helps prevent issues. Cotton wicks tend to "mushroom" due to carbon buildup, which can cause excess wax consumption. Wooden wicks don't mushroom; however, they may not relight if left untrimmed. I use CD (Stabilo) wicks, which are known to mushroom, trimming is important. Always extinguish a flame that is too high or flickering, as it could be dangerous.

We make both cotton and wooden wick candles. The cotton wicks that we use are an excellent choice for soy candles. They are made from all-natural ring-spun cotton and are metal-free. Our crackling wooden wicks burn cleaner and slower. Both must be trimmed, prior to relighting and both wicks can be easily broken off once the candle is cooled before relighting for an optimum burn.

Soy tends to look rugged once it solidifies after a burn. This is completely normal and confirms that the soy wax is natural. Once the wick is trimmed and relit, the candle will burn awesomely.

100% soy wax is known for sweating and it's completely normal. A temperature change can make this happen and it does not affect the candle burn. Candles should be placed in cool and dry places. You can take a dry paper towel and dab the sweat off of the top of your candle prior to lighting if this is encountered.

Yes, and they are easy to clean. My YouTube video is below showing the technique I use. There are other techniques you can try to clean to reuse your vessels. I recommend searching YouTube for more.

High temperatures can cause candles to melt and lose their shape. When the temperature is hot outside, it is not recommended to leave your candles in a location or vehicle (unless you have an insulated bag and parked in a shaded area) as soy candles are sensitive to excessive heat and direct sunlight. Typical melting point starts at 113 degrees Fahrenheit/ 45 degrees Celsius. To preserve the integrity of your soy candle, store at room temperature.

To maximize the burn time of your candles and to ensure an even more efficient burn, follow these steps: Trim your wick 1/4 inch in between burnings. Note that The Beautiful Brown Rainbow candles are pre-trimmed for your first burn. 2. Ensure that your first burn has a complete melt pool. This means that your top layer completely melts from edge to edge before extinguishing the candle. You may use a candle snuffer. 3. Last but not least, it is recommended that the candle is lit in four-hour increments. After the first burn and the candle is trimmed, cooled, and relit, burn for four hours then extinguish to ensure you get your burn time. If the recommended four hours is exceeded, you are interfering with the candle burn time.

No, placing handcrafted resin items in the dishwasher is not recommended. The high heat and harsh detergents used in dishwashers can cause the resin to warp, discolor, or become brittle, ultimately ruining your handcrafted pieces. For best results, we advise gently hand-washing resin items with mild soap and lukewarm water to maintain their beauty and durability.
