The First Burn
Soy wax believe it or not has a memory, so it is recommended to do a “memory burn” the first time it is lit. To do a memory burn the first time you light your candle, make sure to allow your candle to burn completely to the edge before extinguishing. It is important to allow enough time for this to prolong the life of your candle and keep it burning great every time it’s lit.
After your initial memory burn, you are free to light your candle as needed for as long as you’d like.
It is recommended to let your candle burn to the edge every time, but it is recommended for your candle to reach its peak scent throw.
Trimming The Wick

A wick that is too long can burn too hot and can even become a fire hazard. Before lighting the wick, you should remove any burned pieces from the previous burn.
Wooden Wicks
Wooden wicks should be trimmed to about 1/8 inch from the top of the wax surface. The wick should be cut evenly across the top to
Cotton Wicks
Cotton wicks should be trimmed to about 1/4 inch from the top of the wax surface.

Your candle should not be burned for longer than 4 hours at a time. This will keep your candle from producing an increased amount of soot.
Candle Storage
Your candle should be allowed to cool completely before sealing. The candle should be closed when cool to it’s fragrance from escaping.
