Step into a realm of unparalleled luxury and sensory delight as we unveil the captivating world of coconut wax-based candles. Crafted with meticulous care and passion, our exquisite candles transcend the ordinary, elevating your ambiance to new heights. Join us on a fragrant journey where we unravel the secrets of our exceptional waxes, debunk myths, and share essential tips for an enchanting candle experience.
So first…the waxes: Our candles are made with one of 3 waxes. Coconut Soy, our Luxe custom Coconut Wax Blend and our Coconut Beeswax (currently, this wax is on hiatus).
- The Path to Perfection: Picture a candle that evolves with time, gradually unfurling its magic. With our coconut wax candles, reaching a full melt pool may require patience. It’s not uncommon for the third or fourth burn to be the moment of revelation when the wax completely liquifies. That’s not to say you don’t get fragrance until then, but expect a little hang up at the edges of your vessel for a bit!
- Breaking the Chains: Bid farewell to the notion of memory in coconut wax. Unlike other waxes, coconut wax doesn’t cling to past burn patterns. Each time you light your candle, it offers a fresh canvas, ready to illuminate your space with its warm glow. Liberated from any prior restrictions, this wax ensures a consistent, mesmerizing burn, providing an enchanting experience from the very first use. Remember…the further down the wax burns, the more heat that is captured inside the vessel. This increased heat is what allows the “hang up” wax to finally catch up and create that full melt pool.
- The Wick’s Dance: The secret to a candle that burns flawlessly lies in the simplicity of wick maintenance. Before each burn, take a moment to trim the wick to around 1/4 inch. This act not only ensures the safety of your surroundings but also facilitates an optimal burn. With a perfectly trimmed wick, your candle will emit its fragrance as intended, enchanting every corner of your room with its delightful presence. Trimmed wicks also minimize any soot. Mushroom? Yes, wicks WILL mushroom and this is also normal. Now, that being said, you want to make sure that is gone before your next burn. Not trimming away the excess ‘carbon build up’ results in soot and a candle that doesn’t burn it’s best.
- Embrace the Balance: In the pursuit of the perfect candle experience, balance is key. Resist the temptation to let your candle burn for more than four hours at a time. By practicing this mindful approach, you ensure a controlled and consistent burn, enhancing the longevity and quality of your cherished candle. Remember, patience rewards you with a candle that enchants your senses for hours on end.
- Safe Haven: Creating an environment where your candle can safely thrive is essential. Always keep your candle away from flammable materials, pets, and children. Keep that candle way from any drafts, windows, flapping drapes (oh, please, keep it away from the drapes). Is your AC running? Make sure the candle isn’t near the vent and remember…with the air exchange running, that can affect your fragrance as well. Placing your candle on a heat-resistant surface adds an extra layer of security, allowing you to relax and immerse yourself in its mesmerizing glow without worry. Prioritize safety, and let the candle’s radiant warmth fill your space with tranquility.
- Farewell, Old Friend: As your candle illuminates your world, it reaches a moment of transformation. When the wax diminishes to approximately 1/2 inch, it’s time to bid adieu. Beyond this point, the risk of glass breakage increases, and it’s best to retire your cherished companion. Celebrate the memories shared and embrace the excitement of exploring new scents and designs that await you on your journey. You could always use a wax warmer or a candle plate for that last bit of goodness. This ensures you get all the fragrance. But letting it burn forever, just isn’t an option…nor safe.
So…there you have it!
Coconut wax candles transport you to a realm of luxury, where each flickering flame breathes life into your space.
