Specifications Dimensions: ~3.5x8x7.5cm Wax: plain or dyed 100% pure New Zealand beeswax or pure vintage (1998) naturally aged white beeswax Colours: Red, orange, pink, purple, vintage white or natural golden yellow Scent: Unscented, natural honey Wicks: Cotton, square braided Burn time: ~9hours Candle Instructions The first burn should be for at least 3 hours, so that the melt pool reaches close to the edges. To increase burn time and minimise flame size - keep wick trimmed to 1cm before each lighting. To maintain an even burn - carefully push any unmelted petals into the wax pool as candle burns down. Ensure candle is on a level surface in a proper holder, large enough to capture any dripping wax. To extinguish the flame without smoking - dip wick into wax pool using an appropriate utensil and stand it back up for easy relighting. Always burn candle within sight and never leave unattended. Keep away from draughts, flammable objects, children and pets. If you prefer to use it as decor and enjoy it for longer, that is great too! Over time pure beeswax may naturally develop a white dusting called Bloom, this can be polished off with a soft cloth. Colours may vary slightly as each one is mixed by hand in small batches. As each candle is individually hand poured there may be small visible imperfections making each candle unique. Each candle will be made specially for you, which may take a few days so if your order is urgent, please let me know.
