Navigating the nuances of beeswax candles requires some essential guidelines to ensure optimal burning and care for your Abeille candle. Beeswax differs from soy wax and demands a bit more attention to guarantee superior quality, longer burn time, and an even burn.
-
First Burn Essentials:
- For the inaugural burn, resist the urge to rush. The initial burn is pivotal to the overall candle performance.
- Burn your candle for a minimum of 4 hours to achieve a complete melt, creating the coveted "perfect burn pool" near the jar's edge.
- This establishes the candle's memory; extinguishing it prematurely leads to tunnelling for subsequent burns.
-
Wick Maintenance:
-
Yes, before EVERY burn you must trim your candle wicks. This applies to all wick types too! Trim your wicks before relighting using fingers, scissors, a wick trimmer, or nail clippers to prevent issues like smoking, uneven flickering, or uneven wax burning.

Safety Precautions:
- Being fire safe is cool. Be fire safe.
- Keep candles away from children and pets, as the wood wick might spark their curiosity.
- Burn candles within sight, extinguishing before leaving a room or going to sleep.
- Avoid burning near flammable objects, ensure candles are on a stable, heat-resistant surface, and never burn to the bottom of the container.
These rules help you unleash the full potential of your beeswax candle, ensuring a delightful and safe burning experience.
