Candle Care

Make sure you follow these tips to ensure the longevity and performance of your Nouvelle Lune Candle - 

 

WOOD WICK AND COTTON WICK CANDLES

Your first candle burn is the most important. Ensure your candle burns for 1-2 hours and that a full wax pool develops to the edge of the glass or tin. This will prevent candle tunneling and increase the performance of your burn.

We recommend using a gas lighter instead of a match to light your wood wick and cotton wick candles. Persistence is key, it may take multiple attempts to light your wood wick candle, this is 100% normal. Always trim your wicks to 5mm before each use, ensuring all soot is removed. This will ensure the longevity and performance of your candle.

Never leave your dreamy candle burn for more than 4 hours at a time. Never leave your candle burning without supervision. Ensure you burn your candle on a firm, solid, non-flammable base. Keep out of reach from children and pets. 

 

CRYSTAL CANDLES

Follow the instructions for Wood Wick and Cotton Wick Candles. Crystal candles require removal of crystals, citrus segments and botanicals, including flowers during the first burn. Candles with larger segments of dehydrated citrus require removal of citrus if you notice they are inhibiting a full wax pool from developing or if your wick is not lighting/burning appropriately. Ensure you remove with an item other than your hands to ensure you do not burn yourself.

 

MOLDED CANDLES 

Our molded range of candles are decorative statement pieces which can also be lit if desired. Ensure you place your molded candle on a heat resistant plate or dish before lighting to catch hot dripping wax. Before lighting your molded candle trim your wick to 5mm.

Ensure your candle is placed on a heat resistant plate on a flat surface, away from children, pets or flammable objects, such as curtains and ensure you do not leave your molded candle burning unattended.

Keep your candle in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Do not burn for more than 2 hours at a time and ensure you trim your wick to 5mm before each use. 

As molded candles are not in a container their burn time is accelerated and they will burn much faster than our wood wick candles.
