Candle Burning Instructions and Important Info

 

Curing Time for COCOWAX Candles

Since all GARDEN PALACE™ candles are made to order, they’ll only be a few days old by the time you receive them.  We recommend that you wait approximately 1-2 weeks after the candle is crafted to burn it.  In doing so you will have given your new candle an extended time to “cure,” making the scent throw stronger.  When you receive the candle, it will not be as potent as it would be in 2 weeks.  If you would like a more powerfully scented candle, we highly recommend that you wait another week after delivery of any wax products we sell, e.g., candles, tealights, melts etc., before use.  Our proprietary COCOWAX formulated products continue to cure for up to a month old, at which point they will peak and remain strong. GARDEN PALACE™ wax products have a long shelf-life and do not "go bad," although they can sweat and color fade in the sun.  Store all wax products in a cool, dry, dark place.

 

Frosting of Natural Vegetable Waxes

​Frosting happens when the vegetable waxes form tiny white frosted looking crystals on the top of the wax and/or on the sides of the jar.

​

It is a common trait of some natural vegetable waxes to do this, and should not be treated as a flaw.  If your natural vegetable wax products do not frost over time, then it is entirely possible that you have a wax blend that may contain paraffin. Even if 100% natural vegetable wax tealights, melts or candles do not have frosting at the time of purchase, they will frost over time. Frosting is normal and is to be expected. Enthusiasts even look for frosting as a sign that it’s a true, pure, non-toxic candle. Frosting has zero effect on the performance of the product. 

 

PLEASE READ THIS:  Safety Tips & Product Use

It’s very important to read this to get the most out of the life of your candles, and to preserve your own life and the lives of those you love.

 

SAFETY TIPS:

Keep candles out of reach of pets and children 

Before burning candles remove and discard packaging.  This includes any ribbons, bows, or hang tags.

Keep burning candles within your sight at all times.

Never leave a candle unattended.

Keep burning candles away from flammable materials like curtains or anything around the candle that could ignite.  Keep in mind that curtains and other objects can move and come into contact with a burning flame.

Place your lit candle in an area free from drafts

Only burn candles in or on heat and fire-resistant surfaces

Never move a burning candle.  Allow the candle to cool and wax to solidify before moving.  The candle, container and/or wax can become extremely hot when in use.

Do not drop matches or other flammable items into the candle.

Keep wick centered at all times.

Discontinue use when less than 1/4'' to 1/2'' of wax remains on bottom.

 

PRODUCT USE:

Trim candle wicks 1/8” to 1/4" before each use.  This will help prevent soot and extend the life of the candle.

 

Trim wicks carefully as natural wicks tend to be more delicate.   Some natural wicks tend to curl or self-trim.  At times you may notice your natural wick bends to one side, this is normal and, in most circumstances, will straighten up.

 

During each candle use, it is recommended to burn long enough to liquefy the entire top layer of wax (which can take a few hours).  Allowing the candle to liquefy from edge-to-edge will keep the opening wide and prevent tunneling, but DO NOT BURN FOR MORE THAN 4 HOURS AT A TIME

 

For a 4 hour burn it is recommended to blow candle out at 2 hours, let cool a few minutes, remove mushroom and relight.  Then continue to burn until full melt pool or until 4 hours.  Whichever comes first.

 

If candle wick develops a mushroom carbo tip, that is too large and seems to be interfering with the flame or burn of the candle, extinguish the candle, allow to completely cool and remove the tip by pinching between fingers using a tissue.   This will ensure your candle burns evenly and prevent excess wick debris from falling into the candle.

 

Use a candle plate to protect surfaces.  Never put a candle directly on a surface that is flammable or could be damaged by heat or oil

 

Always keep candles in sight when in use and keep away from children and pets.  *Diffusers are useful for places where you want to provide fragrance but can't keep an eye on a candle.

 

If more fragrance is desired, flip the reeds in a diffuser every other week.

 

To eliminate smoking after extinguishing, use a wick dipper or snuffer.

 

NEVER LEAVE BURNING CANDLE UNATTENDED.

 

Failure to follow instructions could result in fire hazard, injury, or smoke damage.
