The art of

Burning

To fully enjoy your candle and keep its aesthetic intact, there is a burning ritual to carry out. In order to guarantee optimal use, Baobab Collection recommends that you follow the safety instructions and always keep your candle under surveillance.

Light

your candle

Do not trim the wicks before the first burn. Light all the wicks of the candle and stay close to it while burning.

During

burning

Wait until the whole surface becomes liquid before putting out your candle. Never exceed one hour of burning once the whole surface is liquid.

After

burning

Before the wax becomes totally solid, reposition the wicks vertically to their initial place. Regularly clean the inside of the candle to avoid the appearance of soot.

Trim

your candle

Trim the wicks on a regular basis. They must not exceed 0.6cm (1/4 inch) to avoid black smoke and the deposit of soot on the edges of the vessel.

Safety

tip

Never burn the last 1cm (1/2 inch) of wax to avoid flames burning against the glass. A flame burning against the glass may cause the glass to break !
