Why use Soy Wax? Our candles are made of a natural soy blend of wax, so they burn at a slower rate than paraffin wax, and are much kinder to your health and environment. Candle Safety - Place the candle on a heatproof surface, as the base can get extremely hot and could cause damage to certain surfaces.- Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets.- Don’t burn your candle near to anything that could catch fire.- Never leave a burning candle unattended.- Do not place candles in a draught.- Don’t place candles near a source of heat.- Never burn a candle for longer than four hours at a time, as this could make the jar extremely hot and cause damage to surfaces. - After the maximum recommended burn time, let it cool, trim the wick and relight.
