Summer’s Luxury Homecrafted Candles

Thank you for choosing Summer’s Luxury Homecrafted Candles. Our candles are made with 100% natural beeswax, cotton wicks, and sustainable materials. To enjoy a safe, long-lasting, and beautifully clean burn, please follow the candle care tips below.

🔥 First Burn — The Most Important

  • Allow your candle to burn until the wax melts evenly across the top (usually 1–2 hours).

  • This prevents tunnelling and helps your candle burn evenly each time.

✂️ Trim the Wick Before Every Burn

  • Trim your wick to 5–7mm before lighting.

  • This reduces soot, improves flame control, and extends the candle’s life.

  • Use a wick trimmer or pinch gently once the wax is cool.

⏳ Burn Time Recommendations

  • Do not burn your candle for more than 3–4 hours at a time.

  • Allow it to cool and reset before relighting.

  • Beeswax burns hotter than other waxes — shorter sessions keep it safe and long-lasting.

🏡 Where to Place Your Candle

  • Keep candles on a heat-resistant, stable surface.

  • Avoid drafts, open windows, or fans — this prevents uneven burning or flickering.

  • Keep away from children, pets, and anything flammable.

🧼 Candle Safety

For your safety:

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended

  • Do not move a candle while it is lit or the wax is hot

  • Keep the wax pool free from matches or debris

  • Stop burning when 10mm of wax remains at the bottom

🌿 Beeswax Candle Benefits

Beeswax candles naturally:

  • Purify the air by releasing negative ions

  • Burn brighter and longer than other waxes

  • Have a clean, subtle honey-like aroma

  • Are non-toxic and eco-friendly

For best results, keep your candle covered when not in use to protect it from dust and preserve the natural scent.

đź’› Caring for Decorative & Sculpted Candles

Our sculpted or shaped beeswax candles are designed to be both decorative and functional.
To care for them:

  • Trim the wick short for a controlled burn

  • Place on a deep, heat-resistant dish to catch natural wax drips

  • Expect a unique burn pattern, as decorative candles melt differently from jar candles

🧯 Extinguishing Your Candle

  • Use a candle snuffer or dip the wick into the wax and straighten it (reduced smoke).

  • Avoid blowing out candles, which can cause soot and hot wax splatter.
