Candle Care Instructions

Proper Burning of Wood Wick Candles

To ensure you get the most enjoyment out of your candles, it is important to follow standard candle safety and care guidelines. Orgasmic Healing LLC is not responsible for misuse. Each candle includes safety instructions on the bottom label.

  • As with any handcrafted product, variances in color and texture of wax and wicks make occur.
  • Wooden wicks burn differently than cotton—treat it like a burning fire. It may take several tries to get it lit.
  • Hold candle at an angle when lighting; contact wick with flame for at least 5-10 seconds. This is super helpful if you are having issues with the wick catching fire.
  • Bic wand lighters or rechargeable arc USB lighters are more ideal than strike matches.
  • Upon first lighting, allow wax melt pool to reach edge of tin/jar before extinguishing to prevent wax tunneling. This may take at least 2-3 hours.
  • Before each use, trim excess burnt wood on wick to 1/8-1/4”. This is very important! If not properly trimmed, the wick may not light, or flame may be too high.
  • If you notice the flame height getting too low after burning for an extended amount of time or candle won't stay lit because its drowning in a pool of wax. Try using a paper towel or napkin to soak up some of the excess wax.
