Candle Safety and Care

The natural beauty of a BougieLights soy candle speaks for itself. A pure, creamy, white candle that over time gently reveals a hint of natural color from the essential oils added during it's creation. A slight ripple in an otherwise smooth surface lets you know the soy candle was poured by human hands. The delicate aroma of the soon to be released essential oils promise a natural perfume not a synthetic fragrance.

This all-natural, simple, earth-friendly approach produces the cleanest burning candle available. A BougieLights soy candle is a candle that's good for your own personal environment, as well as the planet as a whole.
To help you get the most from your BougieLights candle we have complied a list of helpful suggestions to ensure that you enjoy all that a BougieLights candle has to offer.

• Failure to follow warning label instructions could result in fire or injury.
• Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep lit candles out of the reach of children and pets.
• Never burn your candle on or near anything flammable, or for more than 3-4 hours at a time.
• When you first light your candle, allow the wax to pool all the way to the outer edges of the container. This is called a melt pool. Allowing a full melt pool guarantees an even burn (no tunneling) and maximum fragrance throw.
• Always burn candles on a stable, protected, heat-resistant surfaces or place on a heatproof plate.
• The container will be hot when candle is lit.
• Do not burn in a draft. A draft may provide more oxygen to a flame which may cause a hotter, uneven burn.
• Before each use, trim the wick to 5mm, and never move or re-light until flame is out and wax is completely solid. If the wick becomes too long while burning, extinguish flame before trimming.
• Be sure to not over trim the wick. If the wick is too short it will result in too small of a flame and the melt pool will not reach the edges of the container.
• Center the wick after each burn and do not allow trimmed wicks, matches or other objects to remain in the candle.
• Never use container lid to put out flame. Extinguish flame with a candle snuffer, which will prevent wax from spraying.
• Do not allow water or moisture to mix with the wax. This can cause the wax to splatter or pop.
• Keep candles out of direct sunlight and do not store in temperatures over 80 degrees.
• Always read all warning labels and remove any hang tags from around the candle container prior to burning.
