The Alchemy Guide to Burning Your Soy Wax Candle

At Alchemy Candles & Soap, we craft our candles with intention-blending natural soy wax, high-quality fragrance oils, and eco friendly wicks to create a magical experience.  To get the most out of your candle, Follow these simple yet essential burning tips.

Before You Light It

Trim the Wick-Always trim your wick to 1/4 inch (6MM) before lighting.  This keeps the flame steady and prevents excess soot.

Set the Intention- The first burn is the most important!  Allow your candle to melt evenly across the top (about 2-4 hrs) to prevent tunneling and ensure an even burn every time. 

During the  Burn

Limit Burn Time-To maintain the candle's longevity, burn in intervals of 4 hours max before letting the wax cool.

Keep the Magic Safe- Always burn on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, pets, and anything flammable.

Let it Glow, Not Smoke- If the flame flickers too high or starts to smoke, extinguish the candle, trim the wick, and relight when cool.

After the Burn

Allow Wax to Reset- Let the wax fully solidify before moving or relighting your candle.

Store with Care- Keep your candle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight to maintain its integrity. 

Repurpose with Intention-Once your candle is finished, clean out the jar and give it a new life-store crystals, herbs, or small trinkets.

Enjoy the scent, light, and warmth.  Let the magic burn bright!
