Candle Care Ritual

Get the most out of your Zainab Essentials candle. Follow these simple steps for a safer, cleaner, and longer-lasting burn.

01

Trim the Wick

Before every burn, trim the wick to 1/4 inch. This prevents soothing, black smoke, and ensures a clean, even flame.

02

The First Burn

Allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the jar during the first burn. This prevents 'tunneling' and wastes less wax.

03

Burn Time

Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Let it cool completely before relighting.

04

Safe Location

Keep your candle away from drafts, vents, and flammable objects. Never leave a burning candle unattended.

The Art of Extinguishing

Use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame instead of blowing it out. This prevents hot wax from splattering and minimizes smoke.
