- Candles should be spaced apart while lit to prevent uneven burning
- beFragrant uses no dyes or preservatives. There will be a discoloration in the wax that is a natural physical change in the property of the wax after it has been exposed to high heat from burning and then immediate cool after blowing it out. Any discoloration that may occur, will NOT change the scent or thow at all.

CANDLE BURNING TIP ~The first time you burn your candle; you make it a memory burn. A memory burn is a complete wet pool of hot wax on the top of your candle. This will ensure that every time you burn your candle, you will not have any tunneling around the wick, or extra wax stuck to the sides of the container. Establishing a memory burn will also allow for your scent throw to be the best possible since you are using all of your scented wax completely.
- Take care not to spray spray on wood surfaces or furniture. Damage may result
GENERAL SAFETY
- Always keep a burning candle within sight
- Extinguish all candles when leaving a room or before going to sleep
- Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Keep burning candles away from furniture, drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, flammable decorations, etc
- Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets
- Do not place lighted candles where they can be knocked over by children, pets or anyone else
- Trim candlewicks to 1/4" each time before burning. Long or crooked wicks cause uneven burning and dripping
- Always use a candle holder specifically designed for candle use. The holder should be heat resistant, sturdy and large enough to contain any drips or melted wax. Be sure the candle holder is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface. This will also help prevent possible heat damage to counters and table surfaces and prevent glass containers from cracking or breaking. Be sure the candle holder is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
- Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches and debris at all times
- Always read and follow the manufacturer's use and safety instructions carefully. Don't burn a candle longer than the manufacturer recommends
- Keep burning candles away from drafts, vents, ceiling fans and air currents. This will help prevent rapid, uneven burning, and avoid flame flare-ups and sooting. Drafts can also blow lightweight curtains or papers into the flame where they could catch fire
- Always burn candles in a well-ventilated room. Don't burn too many candles in a small room or in a "tight" home where air exchange is limited
- Don't burn a candle all the way down
- Extinguish the flame if it comes too close to the holder or container. For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 2 inches of wax remains or 1/2" if in a container
- Never touch a burning candle or move a votive or container candle when the wax is liquid.
- Never use a knife or sharp object to remove wax drippings from a glass holder. It might scratch, weaken, or cause the glass to break upon subsequent use-Place burning candles at least three inches apart from one another. This is to make sure they don't melt one another, or create their own drafts that will cause the candles to burn improperly.
- Use a candle snuffer to extinguish a candle. It's the safest way to prevent hot wax from splattering
- Never extinguish candles with water. The water can cause the hot wax to splatter and might cause a glass container to break
- Be very careful if using candles during a power outage. Flashlights and other battery-powered lights are safer sources of light during a power failure. Never use a candle during a power outage to look for things in a closet, or when fueling equipment - such as a lantern or kerosene heater
- Make sure a candle is completely extinguished and the wick ember is no longer glowing before leaving the room
- Extinguish a candle if it smokes, flickers repeatedly, or the flame becomes too high. Let the candle cool, trim the wick, then check for drafts before re-lighting
- Never use a candle as a night light
