Our wooden wicks are made from natural, untreated wood — which means no two are the same.

You may notice a unique flame or sound with each burn. Tiny knots or grain differences in the wood can subtly affect how your wick burns, but this is part of the charm of a natural product.

Hold your candle on an angle and light the wick across the full length. This helps the flame draw evenly. A well-lit wood wick shouldn’t produce soot or smoke — if it does, it likely needs trimming or there may be debris in the wax.

Your candle has a memory! On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the vessel. This usually takes 2–4 hours and prevents tunnelling, helping your candle burn evenly every time.

Before each burn, trim your wick to 5–7mm. This prevents a flame that’s too large or smoky and helps your candle last longer. You can use a wick trimmer or simply pinch off the blackened tip once the candle is cool.

It could be one of two things:

  • A knot in the wick: Keep relighting until the flame burns past it.
  • Crystals too close to the wick: Light the candle on a slight angle. As the wax melts, the crystals will gently shift away from the wick.

If your wick is sinking below the wax, it needs room to breathe.

Blow out the candle, then use a paper towel to soak up some melted wax. You may need to repeat this once or twice to restore the wick’s height and get a strong, steady flame again.

We include a candle care card with every order — keep it handy for quick tips and a longer-lasting candle.

No, as your candle melts, your crystals will naturally sink into the wax, continuing to release their good vibrations.

Once your candle is finished, simply pour boiling water into the vessel and let it cool. A layer of wax will form at the top of the vessel and your crystals will remain on the bottom. Remove the layer of wax then remove the crystals. Wash the crystals in warm soapy water to clean of any excess wax.

You can remove the crystals after your first burn, making sure you have reached a full melt pool (meaning the wax has melted all the way to the edges of the vessel).

Once you have extinguished your candle and while the wax is soft, you can remove the crystals using a spoon. Place your crystals into a small bowl and wash them with warm soapy water. This will remove any excess wax.

Once you have removed your crystals, they can be used in many ways. You may want to place them in a small bowl or sprinkle them into a plant. They will continue release their good vibrations long after your candle is finished.
