At Her Candle Story, every candle is thoughtfully crafted to create moments of calm, comfort, and beauty. Following these care tips will help you enjoy a clean, even burn and get the most out of your candle.

Light Your Candle


To light your candle, gently tilt it at a slight angle and allow the flame to travel across the entire length of the wood wick. Wood wicks may take a moment to fully catch—this is completely normal and part of their charm.

First Burn Matters


On your first burn, allow the wax to melt completely to the edges of the vessel. This helps prevent tunneling and ensures a smooth, even burn every time you light your candle.

Trim Before Each Burn


Once the candle has fully cooled, trim the wood wick to about ¼ inch before relighting. You may snip the wick or gently pinch off the loose, burned wood with your fingers. Keeping the wick trimmed helps maintain a steady flame and reduces smoke.

Burn Time


For best results, burn your 10 oz candle for no more than 3 hours at a time. This protects the integrity of the fragrance and extends the life of your candle.

Candle Safety

Never leave a burning candle unattended.

Always keep candles out of reach of children and pets.

Place your candle on a heat-safe surface away from drafts, curtains, or flammable materials.

A Final Note


Each candle tells a story—thank you for allowing ours to become part of your space. With proper care, your candle will continue to bring warmth, peace, and beauty into your everyday moments.
