Safety & care

Candle safety

• Never leave a burning candle unattended.
• Keep and use out of reach of children and pets.
• Do not place near flammable objects (e.g. curtains, shelves, decorations) or in a draft.
• Only burn on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
• Keep burning candles at least 10 cm apart.
• Trim the wick to about 5 mm before each use and remove matches or wick debris from the wax.
• Do not burn for longer than 4 hours at a time.
• For candles in a glass or tin: extinguish when about 1 cm of wax remains. The container gets hot while burning.
• Never extinguish a candle with water – a candle snuffer works best.
• Our dessert and decorative candles look good enough to eat but are not edible.

Wax melt safety

• Only use in a suitable wax warmer and follow the warmer manufacturer's instructions.
• Never leave the warmer unattended while in use and do not move it while the wax is liquid.
• Do not add water to the dish.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets. Not edible.

Fragrance oils may contain ingredients that can cause allergic reactions. Product-specific hazard and safety information is printed on your product's label. If you have any questions about ingredients, email us at hallo@ohsweetcandles.de.

Care tips

• On the first burn, let the candle burn until the whole surface has melted – this helps it burn evenly every time after.
• Store candles and wax melts somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sunlight, so colour and scent last longer.
