FAQ's
PRODUCT
How do I care for my candle?
Each one of our beautiful candles is hand poured, in-house within Australia. We take great pride in ensuring that our entire product range is quality made to perfection and customised to meet your expectations. In order to maintain safety and the best performance from your candle, it is important to give your candle a little extra care by following a few simple instructions below:
1. Remove all crystals before lighting your candle. This will better preserve your crystals and allow for a stronger scent throw.
2. When lighting your candle for the first time, please allow the wax to melt to the edges of the jar before blowing out the flame. This will allow for a clean and even burn in the future.
3. To ensure safety, only light your candle in a ventilated area and never leave a burning candle unattended or burning for longer than 3-4 hours at a time.
4. Use a snuffer or blow out your candle when finished.
5. Once the wax has cooled and set, trim the wick to approximately 6mm before relighting your candle to avoid mushrooming.
6. Cease use once the wax reaches 1cm from the bottom of the jar.
Wait, don’t throw out your candle jar! There are many fun and creative ways to reuse it. First, simply wash out any leftover wax with soapy warm water, and then you have a new pencil holder, a vase, a toothbrush holder or a trinket dish. We encourage you to think of some other ways to reuse the jar and would love to see your ideas.

What type of wicks do you use?

Can I recycle my Sixth Batch candle jar?
Once you have finsihed burning your candle you can gently wash out the remaining wax with warm soapy water.
You can use it as a vase, pencil holder, or makeup brush container. We encourage you to think of other creative ways to give new life to your jar.
We would love to hear from you if you have other ideas to share with us.
