Tips on how to care for and maintain soy candles to prolong their life useful life and ensure an optimal experience for kpaia lab & users co.

Here are some tips on how to do it:

1. First ignition:

• Light Carefully: Use a long wooden match to light your candle or a long lighter. This will prevent your fingers from get too close to the flame.

• At first lighting, be sure to let the soy candle completely melt on the surface. This will help prevent formation of wells in the center of the sail in future uses.

2. Burn time:

• Do not let the soy candle burn for more than 4 hours at night time. This can cause the wax to become too hot and cause problems such as soot formation.

3. Keep the wick trimmed:

• Before lighting the candle, make sure the wick has a length about 0.6cm to 1cm. One wick too many long can cause a larger flame and combustion inefficient.

4. Avoid drafts:

• Place the candle in a place where there are no drafts, since this can cause the flame to flicker and cause uneven wear of the wax.

5. Stable surface:

• Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface to prevent it from tipping over or causing damage.


6. Proper Storage:

• When you are not using the candle, store it in a cool, dark place to prevent melting or deterioration due to heat and direct light of the sun.

7. Keep away from flammable materials:

• Make sure the candle is away from flammable materials and out of the reach of pets and children.

8. Be careful when blowing out the candle:

• Do not blow out the candle to extinguish it, as this may cause the wick is bent or dipped in melted wax. Uses a candle snuffer or a lid to extinguish it without generating smoke or soot.

9. Reuse the container:

• Once the candle has burned completely, you can reuse the container for other purposes, such as storing small objects or plants.

10. Enjoy the fragrance:

• Choose fragrances that reflect your Style: Our soy candles offer a rich variety of natural and long-lasting scents in each collection. Choose fragrances that suit your needs, mood and style to create a cozy and personalized atmosphere.
