Candle Care

Each Blak Maud candle is hand-poured premium coconut soy wax with high concentrations of fine fragrance oils.  We do not use paraffin-based wax or vanillin in our formulations, giving a classy, subtle hot throw (projection) and longer burn times. Our natural wicks are bamboo and cotton core which reduces black soot. 

Use 4" safety matches to protect fingers when lighting.

To fully enjoy our candles, always follow these steps:

  1. 1. Set an intention each time you light your candle. Peace, prosperity, wellness, action, justice—this is your ritual.
  2. 2. On first burn, trim wick to 5mm or less. Burn for 2 hours, or when full melt pool is achieved. Scent should reach maximum projection. If tunneling occurs, continue to burn until wax fully melts. 
  3. 3. Do not burn longer than 3 hours at a time. Do not leave unattended.
  4. 4. If black soot appears, trim the wick until clean and less than 5mm long.
  5. 5. Use a dedicated candle snuffer to extinguish the flame and let cool  BEFORE replacing the candle lid. Keep lid secured when candle is not in use to preserve its fine fragrance oils.
  6. 6. Always leave at least 5mm of wax remaining for Classic 8oz Auras, and 7mm for the 6oz Travel tins.

As our candles are made from natural materials, some frosting or fragrance pools may appear over time. This is normal and will not affect your candle's performance.
