How to Care for Your Coconut Soy Wax Candles: Tips for a Longer Burn
Coconut soy wax candles are more than just décor—they’re a luxurious way to create a calming ambiance and elevate your space. Whether you’ve purchased one of our premium handcrafted candles or made your own at our candle-making party, proper care is essential for the best experience.
Follow these fun yet professional tips to keep your candles burning beautifully and lasting longer!
1. Trim the Wick Before Each Burn
Before lighting your candle, always trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. A trimmed wick ensures an even burn, minimizes soot, and keeps the flame under control. It’s a quick step that makes a huge difference in the life of your candle.

2. The First Burn is the Most Important
Let your candle burn long enough to melt the wax evenly across the top, reaching the edges of the container. This prevents tunneling, where wax sticks to the sides and wastes your candle.
**Fun Fact:** Coconut soy wax candles burn slower and cleaner than traditional paraffin candles, making them a sustainable, eco-friendly choice.
3. Keep Your Wax Clean
Dust and debris in your wax pool can affect how your candle burns. Before relighting, remove any bits of wick or debris. This keeps your candle looking fresh and burning efficiently.

4. Choose the Perfect Spot
Place your candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, fans, and direct sunlight. Drafts can lead to uneven burning, while sunlight can fade your candle’s fragrance and color.
**Safety First:** Always burn candles in a safe spot and never leave them unattended.
5. Stick to Optimal Burn Times
To maximize the life of your candle, burn it for 2–4 hours at a time. This prevents overheating and keeps the wax pool even. Shorter or longer burns can reduce the quality of your candle’s performance.

6. Repurpose Your Candle Jar
Once only 1/2 inch of wax remains, it’s time to retire your candle. Use the leftover wax as a wax melt or clean the jar for storage, planters, or decorative purposes—it’s a sustainable way to get more out of your purchase!
