All Candle Flair candles include a safety label on the bottom of our packaging to ensure customers are well informed on the accurate and sensible use of our candles. Below, we have included safety advice when buying and lighting our candles as well as useful tips on how to get the best burn from our candles:

• Ensure the wick is kept trimmed to approximately 0.5-1cm in length to control the flame height and burn time
• Avoid burning candles in areas of draught to encourage an even burn and to avoid dripping
• Never leave a burning candle unattended or around children and pets
• Do not burn candles on or close anything that can catch fire
• Place burning candles at least 10cm apart 
• Always keep the wax pool clear and clear of matches and other debris to avoid flaring 
• Always snuff out the candle, do not blow out
