Candle Care
At Ember & Ethos, each candle is crafted with clean wax, pure essential oils, and wax‑coated cotton wicks to give you a safe, beautiful burn. Caring for your candle helps it last longer, burn cleaner, and fill your space with intentional aroma.

🕯️ First Burn
Allow your candle to burn until the entire top layer of wax melts edge to edge.
This prevents tunneling and sets the foundation for an even, long-lasting burn.
---
✂️ Trim the Wick
Before each burn, trim the wick to ¼ inch.
A shorter wick creates a cleaner flame, reduces soot, and protects the vessel.
Burn Time
Burn your candle for 2–4 hours at a time.
This keeps the wax pool even and prevents overheating.
---
🌬️ Extinguishing
Gently snuff the flame instead of blowing it out to avoid smoke and wax splatter.
Re-center the wick while the wax is still warm.
---
🏡 Placement
Keep candles away from drafts, vents, curtains, and anything flammable.
Always burn on a heat‑safe surface and never leave a candle unattended.
