Candle Care & Safety

Your stor.ree candle is crafted with pure essential oils and natural waxes to give you a clean, conscious burn.

To enjoy your candle safely and get the best performance from it, we recommend the following care rituals:

 

For a Clean, Even Burn

1. Let the first burn set the memory.

Allow your candle to burn for at least 1 hour - or until the entire surface has melted into a full, even pool.
This prevents tunnelling and ensures an even burn throughout its life.

2. Trim your wick before every use.

Before lighting, trim the wick to around 5mm.
This helps your candle burn cleanly, prevents soot, avoids mushrooming, and supports a steady flame.

3. Keep your candle away from drafts.

A moving flame burns unevenly, causing tunnelling or flickering.
Place your candle on a flat, heat-safe surface away from open windows or fans.

4. Don’t burn your candle for too long.

We recommend burning your candle for no more than 3 hours at a time.
This protects the vessel and keeps the scent true to its composition.

5. Extinguish thoughtfully.

Use a snuffer if you have one, or gently blow out the flame.
Avoid putting the wick into the wax - this can affect the next burn.

Safety Guidelines

Even the cleanest, safest candles need mindful burning.

• Never leave a burning candle unattended.

• Keep away from children, pets and soft furnishings.

• Always allow the wax to cool and reset before relighting.

• Do not burn your candle when only 1cm of wax remains.

• Avoid placing your candle on unstable or delicate surfaces.

Your wellbeing and your home come first.

 

Reuse Your Vessel

Once your candle has finished, your stor.ree vessel can live on.
We encourage reuse for:

• Coffee

• Styling

• Desk storage

• Makeup brushes or pens

• Small florals

• Bathroom organisation

• Refills 

A clean ritual - inside and out.
