Candle Care

Trimming your wick is important for so many reasons - the most important being that your candle will burn properly.

You can trim your S&O candle using a wick trimmer, scissors or nail cutter. We recommend trimming to 3/16th of an inch (0.25”). Wood wicks perform best when they are closer to the wax.

Re-trim your wick before every use, not just the first time you light your candle. Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches and debris.

When you light your candle for the first time, be sure to let it burn for 2 - 4 hours, or until the wax has melted to the edge of the jar (full melt pool). If you do not do this, your candle will tunnel. Tunnelling means that the wick is burning straight down the centre of the candle without creating a full melt pool within 2 - 4 hours of being lit.

If a full melt pool has not occurred after 4 hours, don't worry. Extinguish the candle, allow it to cool and try again. Wood wick candles need a lot of tending to, for an enjoyable experience.

You can also use a spoon or chopstick to scoop unmelted wax into the wax pool.

The more you burn your candle, the more the wax melts. A full melt pool would have been achieved when you’ve burned your candle half way through.

Once your candle has burned for 4 hours, extinguish it. Do not burn longer than this time to maximize the full benefit of your S&O candle and to keep the glass jar from getting too hot. Relight it once the candle has cooled.

• Never ever leave your candle unattended, especially if you have pets or kids
• Never burn your candle close to anything that is flammable
• Never use a candle as a night light
• Never extinguish candles with water
• Always burn candles in a well-ventilated room
• Safety instructions are on the bottom of your S&O candle. Please read and follow them carefully 

Once 1/2” of the wax is left, don’t burn any longer. This prevents the candle from overheating and damaging the surface below it. Extinguish a candle if it repeatedly smokes or the flame becomes too high.

Our candles are quite the sensory experience and we understand if you just can't get enough. However, there's only so much wax to burn. Our wick clips keep the flame at safety height above the bottom of the candle jar. This is in place to reduce the risk of overheating at the end of the candles life.

When you are done burning your candle, remove the remaining wax and wash your jar with soap and warm water. Voila! You now have a new mini terrarium, makeup brush holder, propagation jar or whiskey glass. Whatever your preferences, you can reuse the jar to your hearts content.

Can’t find any use for it? No worries, email us at hello@seventhandoak.com for instructions on how to send us the empty jar intact and you would get 10% off your next order.

FAQs

How are you implementing sustainability in your business? 

Responsibly sourcing production materials

Our passion for sustainable living drives us to make responsible choices. We ethically source our soy waxes from local manufacturers, our wooden wicks are FSC certified and we use fragrances and essential oils that are pthalate-free.

Our Reuse or Return program

We give our customers an incentive to send back their finished candles so we can reuse them. Since we launched in May 2020, we've received around 50 jars and recycled those into new candles.

Read more about this initiative here.

Product transparency and packaging

The three core ingredients of our candles are soy wax, wood wicks, and oils. We are committed to ingredient transparency because we want you to trust that we will not use any materials that are harmful to either you or the Earth. 

How fragrant are your wooden wick candles?

We use all-natural plant-based fragrance and/or essential oils and coconut soy wax in our candles. This combination produces a candle with a lighter scent throw that grows and lingers, which our customers love.

Why do you make your candles with wooden wicks?

Wood wicks burn much cleaner, have 30% more scent throw and while they don’t get the carbon build-up that needs to be trimmed off of cotton wicks, they will develop a slight amount of ash at the tip of the wick. The ash can be easily broken off when cool before relighting or cut using a wick trimmer or nail cutter.

Plus, that crackling sound they make is a welcome bonus!
