Safety & CLP

Last updated: November 18, 2025

This page provides CLP (Classification, Labelling and Packaging) information and safety warnings for our scented soy candles. The data is based on safety documentation from our fragrance suppliers and applicable regulations. In case of any difference between the printed label on your candle and the information on this page, the product label shall prevail.

 

1. General candle safety

The following safety rules apply to all our candles:

  • always keep a burning candle within sight, never leave it unattended
  • keep candles away from children and pets
  • place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from fabrics and other flammable materials
  • avoid drafts, fans, and air conditioning blowing directly on the flame
  • trim the wick to about 5 mm before each burn
  • on the first burn, allow the melt pool to reach the edges of the glass
  • do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time
  • do not move a candle while it is burning or while the wax is liquid
  • do not add any foreign substances to the wax (extra wax, oils, objects)
  • stop burning when about 10 mm of wax remain at the bottom of the vessel or, in opaque jars, as soon as the metal wick base becomes visible.

More detailed guidance is available in our Terms & Conditions and the “Candle care” card included with your candle.
