Candle Care
CRYST Fragrance candles are created with care and we place the highest value on quality, design and hand craftsmanship. We recommend the following candle care tips to ensure the longevity of your candle.
Home for your candles
Storing
Candles love the dark! We always recommend storing your candles in a cool, dry, and dark place. Storing candles in direct sunlight or harsh indoor lighting for long periods of time may cause them to fade or warp.

Tidy your candles
Trim your wick
To ensure an even and smoke-free burn, the wick should always be trimmed to a length of 3mm-5mm each time before lighting.
If you leave your candle burning longer than four hours, extinguish the flame, trim the wick and then re-light it. We recommend using a Wick Trimmer.
To get the most from your candles
Whilst Burning
When lighting your candle for the first time, burn for at least 2 hours to allow the majority of the surface of the candle melt completely. This will prevent tunnelling in the future!
Wax has ‘memory’ so it will follow the first burn so if some wax remain on the sides it which will continue to melt only in the middle as you continue each burn. This is called tunnelling.
Do not leave candle burning unattended. Keep away from children, curtains and pets.
Always protect the table or surface on which the candle rests. We recommend using our Jesmonite trays.

Time for a new one
To preserve the fragrance, do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time and never burn a candle all the way through. We recommend the use of a Snuffer to extinguish the flame so that there is no smoke created.
Discontinue the candle when 1.5cm of wax remains to prevent possible cracking. Clean it out, re-use or recycle the glass container and the crystals inside, and order your next CRYST Candle.
