Candle Safety & Care

Candles are beautiful, but they are also open-flame products. Please follow all candle safety instructions every time you burn an Intriguing Scents candle.

Candle Safety Rules

- Never leave a burning candle unattended. 

- Never use water to extinguish the candle, as hot wax may splatter.

- Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.

- Keep burning candles at least 12 inches away from curtains, bedding, paper, books, clothing, furniture, dried flowers, and anything else that can catch fire.

- Always burn candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface.

- Do not burn a candle near drafts, vents, fans, open windows, or high-traffic areas.

- Do not move a burning candle.

- Do not touch the vessel while the candle is burning or while the wax is still hot.

- Keep the wax pool free of matches, wick trimmings, dust, and debris.

- Do not burn a candle with the lid on.

- Do not use the lid as a candle-burning surface.

Wick Care - Trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch before each burn. If the flame becomes too high, flickers excessively, smokes, or the vessel becomes too hot, extinguish the candle immediately and allow it to cool before trimming the wick and relighting.

Burn Time - Do not burn candles for more than 4 hours at a time. Follow any shorter burn-time limit provided on the product label or candle care card. Allow the candle to cool completely before relighting.

When to Stop Burning - Stop using the candle when approximately 1/2 inch of wax remains at the bottom of the vessel, or sooner if instructed on the product label. Burning a candle too low can overheat the vessel and create a safety risk.

Vessel Warning - Do not use the candle if the glass is cracked, chipped, scratched, or damaged. Discontinue use immediately if the vessel becomes excessively hot, cracks, smokes heavily, or behaves unusually.

Prayer and Candle Use - Intriguing Scents candles may be used during prayer, reflection, stillness, devotion, or quiet time. Never leave a candle burning while sleeping, when leaving the room, or when you are unable to give it your attention.

Stillness should never come at the expense of safety.
