Candle Care

Glassware

Our pure beeswax glass candles are a wonderful addition to any home. Once you have burned the candle down, all our glasses can be reused for many projects.


To maximize burn time, allow the candle to burn until the molten wax pool has reached the sides of the glass. You can extinguish the candle at this point, or continue enjoying the burn.

 

If the flame is favoring one side of the glass, causing an uneven burn, use a metal tool to redirect a curled or angled wick in the opposite direction.

 

Important: to prevent wick breakage when doing this, be sure that the wick is warm/soft and nudge the wick below the level of the molten pool where the wick is not charred and thus stronger.

These containers may have some remaining unused beeswax after the wick has been fully burned. This is normal.


For refills or reuse, you can freeze the glass or heat it in an oven at no more than 160 degrees and then wipe it clean with a clean rag.
