Candle Care and Safety Guide
Proper candle care ensures the safest experience and helps you get the best performance, fragrance throw, and burn time from your Seven + Ember coconut soy candles.
Please read and follow these candle care guidelines before each use.
First Burn (Memory Burn Rule)
On the first burn, allow the wax to melt fully to the edges of the jar.
This creates an even “wax memory” and helps prevent tunnelling, ensuring your candle burns evenly for its full life.
Wick Care
- Trim wick to 5mm before every burn
- This reduces soot, smoke, and uneven flames
- Helps maintain a clean, stable burn
Burn Time Guidelines
- Burn your candle for 3–4 hours at a time
- Do not burn for more than 4 hours continuously
- This prevents overheating and extends candle life
Safety Precautions
For your safety, always:
- Never leave a burning candle unattended
- Keep candles away from children and pets
- Extinguish candles before sleeping or leaving a room or building
- Do not move the candle while wax is liquified (jar may be hot)
- Always place on a stable, heat-resistant surface
- Keep away from flammable materials such as curtains, fabric, or paper
- Avoid placing near open windows or draughts, which can cause flickering and uneven burning
End of Candle Life
- Stop burning when 10mm of wax remains
- Do not relight the candle once it reaches this level
- This prevents overheating the glass container
Storage and Care
- Keep candles out of direct sunlight
- Avoid UV exposure to prevent wax discolouration or yellowing
- Store in a cool, dry place for best fragrance quality
Candle Care Summary
Proper care ensures:
- Cleaner burn
- Longer-lasting fragrance
- Safer candle use
- Better performance and appearance
By following these guidelines, you’ll enjoy the full Seven + Ember luxury candle experience from first light to final burn.

Let customers speak for us
This candle is absolutly phenomenal!!!! So delicious and burns so well!
Excellent product andvery helpful service.
My favourite candle. Not too overpowering while still providing a sophisticated scent
Love the lip Balm! Keeps my lips hydrated all day long, especially while working in the elements! It's long lasting and doesn't have that waxy, sticky feeling some lip balms do. Safe from nasty ingredients too which is always a bonus!
I started using the Wonder Balm on my 2yo daughters eczema. She had been progressing from a mild to moderate reaction. I applied the balm to the worst affected areas and within 3 days, the severity had decreased and in some areas completely gone. Very happy with the product.
Yum, this candle is so delicious, will definately be buying more!
Classic Vanilla has to be the best scents ever! This one is so lovely, and burns so beautifully.
This candle is beautiful, so elegant and the smell, so gorgeous and fresh. The crystals are aligned with the ocean and are so calming. Lasts for ages!
I love this candle, smells just like childhood. Sweet with citrus and malt, its awesome. Will for sure be ordering more of this one!
This candle is perfect for those who want to wind down or create a relaxing environment. These candles have the perfect amount of scent where they aren’t overpowering or too subtle. This is also great with a bath and face mask. Would highly recommend!
Nicely made candles, that don’t have an overpowering fragrance. Natural oils give a subtle effect that lasts for ages. 🕯️💝
I love, love these candles, the scent is absolutely divine and just fills the room! Such gorgeous vessels and styling. I just love them!
My Spiced Vanilla Seven + Ember candle is divine. The scent makes the whole house smell warm and inviting with its delicious aroma. The customer service is second to none and I will definitely be buying more candles in the future!
One of the best candles I have owned. It smells absolutely incredible and burns really well. Couldn't recommend it more!
High Quality! I am so happy with my Seven + Ember candle. I always have a candle burning in my salon and it gets many compliments from my clients! The Rose scent is amazing and has lasted me so long. Highly recommend!
