Tips & Tricks

The best way to use your Moonstone Rituals candle after its initial lighting ceremony:

1. Trim The Wick: Before igniting your candle again (after its first initial use), trim the wick to 1/4" using a wick trimer or scissors. HOT TIP: the charred tips of our crackling wooden wicks can easily be snapped off with your fingers once cooled.

2. Burn Baby: Allow the wax to melt to the sides of the jar every burn so as to prevent tunneling. This is especially important on the first burn. Our wicks create a hearty flame so this is quite easy to achieve.

3. Safety Tips: Under no circumstances should you ever leave a lit candle unattended. Do not burn the candle more than 4 hours at a time. To protect the surface beneath your candle from heat, place the candle on a level, heat resistant surface, such as a coaster, tile or cork trivet.

4. Stop: Do not burn your candle if 1/4"-1/2" of wax remains. Lighting a candle without more than 1/4"-1/2" wax can overheat the jar.

5. Reduce/Reuse/Recycle: When your candle has finished burning through, clean out the jar! Now you've got a new container to use as you see fit.
