Trim your wick
Before each burn, trim the wick to ¼ inch. This ensures a steady flame and prevents excess smoke or soot.

Allow a full melt pool
On your first burn, let the candle melt evenly across the surface. This prevents tunneling and sets the memory of the wax.

Burn in rhythm
Never burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Rest is part of the practice.

Place with intention
Always burn on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, children, and pets.

Extinguish with care
Gently snuff or dip the wick into wax to extinguish. Avoid blowing it out to preserve the scent and shape.

Keep your candle clean
Remove any wick trimmings or debris from the wax pool to ensure an even, safe burn.

Know when it’s time
Stop burning when ½ inch of wax remains. The vessel is hot at the base—let it cool before handling.

Protect between burns
Use the wooden HARA dust cover to shield the wax from daily dust and debris. This simple step preserves the purity of your candle, extends its life, and keeps the ritual space clean and beautiful.
