Candle care

By Amelia Perez
 

I am in love with natural fragrances. Just like lighting or temperature, the sense of smell plays an important role in the perception of our surroundings. Aromas act as ephemeral borders capable of affecting our emotional, mental or physical state. Orange blossom is my native Cordoba in spring, the burning of stubble is the Segovian countryside in winter and cinnamon and vanilla are, for me, Christmas.

Once upon a time, candles were part of our daily lives. Faithful companions of the night, their presence has been fading for less than two centuries. From being essential tools, today they only play a symbolic and decorative role, but they are still close at hand in the most important moments of our lives.

A good candle is also an investment that we must take care of to get more hours of performance out of it.

A good candle is one that is lovingly made, made from natural ingredients and aromas; soy wax, orange, cinnamon and vanilla essential oils. Wooden wick or waxed natural cotton. Lead-free , it does not emit soot or smoke . It does not harm the environment and does not increase CO2 levels.

To get the best experience from your candle, please keep the following in mind:

Some recommendations

The first time you light your candle, let it burn until the entire wax surface has melted to the edge of the glass; for our candle, this can take about half an hour to an hour. This will ensure even burning and prevent a "hole" from forming in the center.

To light it is recommended to use a long match or a long lighter so that the wick can be easily reached.

Wax has a "memory", which is why it should not be turned off before the surface layer has melted , thus avoiding unburned and wasted wax edges.

Remove any "bloom" left by the previous burn. In the case of our candle, the wick is natural and can be removed by lightly tapping it with your finger and it will come off easily. Clean the surface using a soft brush.

The "flower" is the charred wick from the previous burning of the candle.

Make sure your candle is placed on a heat resistant surface.

Cover the candle when not in use to prevent wick residue, dust, or other materials from accumulating on the wax surface. This will also preserve its aroma.

The candle should be extinguished by covering it with its lid. We must wait until the candle is cold to screw the lid on.

To ensure safety and longevity, be sure to check the bottom of your candle for additional instructions.

To make the most of your glass jar once your candle has been consumed, remove the remaining natural wax with hot water and use a scouring pad to make sure the jar is clean. If you prefer, you can bring the jar to the store and we will discount the price of a new candle.
