Everyday: Summer Kitchen

About Wood + Honey Beeswax Candles -

• Hand-poured in small batches by a outdoor loving, f-bomb-dropping mom in Maryland who, loves hard, and gives a damn. Made with care, hustle, and late-night cups of tea (or bourbon—depends on the night)
• Made with 100% pure beeswax from a 4th-generation beekeeper who actually cares about the bees.
• Blended with a smidge of organic coconut wax so your candle burns evenly and without tunneling (because no one likes wasted wax).
• Free from the nasty stuff—no toxins, no parabens, no phthalates, no BS. Also free from everything on California’s Prop 65 list.
• Scented with skin-safe, leaping bunny–certified fragrance oils (aka cruelty-free and gentle enough to burn around your babies, pets, and sensitive noses).
• Wood wicks are natural, untreated, and bases have zero lead—because duh.
• Burns clean and releases negative ions that can help cut down on airborne junk like dust and dander. Bonus: no weird black soot.

• Beeswax is a very hard wax and burns very hot and slow. These candles should last you for a while. 
• Wood wick is cut to appropriate height when new.  Make sure the wick is kept to about a 1/4" before lighting.  Too high and the flame can get smokey and a little wild, too low and it may suffocate in the pool of wax.  
• Before relighting your candle each time, be sure to break off some of the previously burnt wick. This will help prevent smoking and assist in ideal flame height.
• It is not uncommon to hear a soft crackling sound while burning, which is why wood wicks are so cool.
• Recommended burn time of at least 2 to 3 hours to avoid tunneling. 
• Tunneling may occur initially until a big enough wax pool is made, and the glass begins to warm. 
• Cracking in the wax near the wick is common due to the fast cooling time and hard nature of beeswax. 
• Be patient when lighting. DO NOT extinguish with water. 
• DO NOT replace lid until candle has cooled completely.
• DO NOT BURN FOR MORE THAN 4 HOURS AT A TIME.
• Discontinue use if glass is broken or cracked.
• DO NOT BURN when candle has a 1/2" of wax or less.
