Coconut Candle Care

COCONUT CANDLE CARE

The first burn

Please take extra caution with the Orange slices as they are flammable. We have taken steps to ensure that it will not fall into the flame, however life is unpredictable.

Please ensure that candle is always burning within sight, never leave alone unattended.

The Coconut Candle was handcrafted and may topple when burning, please ensure that it is not placed in a drafty area or on uneven surfaces. We advise that you place a tray underneath in the event that it topples.

Why soy wax?
Our Coconut candle is 100% handcrafted and made with only the highest quality, natural, soy based wax. Paraffin and palm wax candles are cheaply made and emit toxic fumes into your home, which can lead to headaches, dizziness.

Not only that, palm oil has been and continues to be a major driver of deforestation of some of the world's most bio diverse forests, destroying the habitat of already endangered species like the Orangutan, pygmy elephant and Sumatran rhino.

Will my coconut candle shell burn?
Our coconut shells are sanded flat with a minimum of thickness to make sure that the shell is heat and fire resistant. This is very beneficial because it will provide a more stable and safer environment for you and your family.

What about the dried fruits and flowers?
Please take extra caution with the Orange slice as it is flammable. We have taken steps to ensure that it will not fall into the flame, however life is unpredictable.
Upon first light and within the first hour of using, we highly advise that you remove the Orange slice when the wax has softened so that it will be easy to take out. All the dried fruits are purely aesthetic, so removing this will not affect the scent strength. Please remove any further dried fruits if they are interfering with the flame. 

The kiwi fruit, strawberry slices and dried flowers are okay to remain in the wax as you use it. 

Please note, We take pride in using our hands to make these candles one at a time. We use soy wax, It is non-toxic and biodegradable. Each candle is handmade, so they may have slight imperfections and colour variations. The Coconut Candle is made to order, so please allow up to 2 working days before we can post. It's handmade, we're sure you'll love it!
