Every Discover Me Candle is hand-poured with intention and designed to be both beautiful and functional. To ensure you enjoy your candle safely and extend its life, please follow these care and safety guidelines.

✨ First Burn

When lighting your candle for the first time, allow it to burn until the melted wax reaches the edges of the vessel.
This creates an even melt pool and prevents tunneling, helping your candle burn longer and more evenly.

✨ Wick Care

• Always trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each burn.

• A properly trimmed wick reduces smoke, soot, and overheating.

• If the flame becomes too tall or flickers excessively, extinguish the candle, trim the wick, and relight.

✨ Safe Burning Practices

• Never leave a burning candle unattended.

• Always place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable objects, drafts, pets, and children.

• Do not burn a candle for more than 4 hours at a time.

• Stop using your candle when 1/2 inch of wax remains at the bottom of the vessel to prevent overheating.

✨ After Each Use

• Allow the candle to cool completely before moving it.

• Re-center the wick if it has shifted during burning.

• Keep the vessel free of wick trimmings, matches, or debris.

✨ Crystal Companions (Our Philosophy & Safety)

At Discover Me Candles, crystals are provided as separate companions, not embedded in the wax. While some brands include stones inside their candles, we believe this is not 100% safe. Crystals can obstruct the wick, create hot spots, or stress the vessel — all of which may cause unsafe burning conditions.

Instead, our crystals are meant to be placed around your ritual space or held during meditation, amplifying intention without interfering with the flame. This keeps your practice both powerful and safe, while allowing you to reuse your crystals long after the candle has finished.

If You Ever Buy Embedded-Crystal Candles Elsewhere

We recommend always removing the stones before lighting:

• Surface crystals: Warm the top with a hairdryer on low for 10–20 seconds, then gently lift with clean tongs or a spoon.

• Deeper crystals: Burn for 5–10 minutes under supervision, extinguish, wait 60–90 seconds, then carefully remove with tongs.

• Never: Dig into wax with sharp tools or leave stones sitting in melted wax.

Cleaning Your Crystals

• Freeze method: Place stone in the freezer for 15–30 minutes; wax will chip off easily.

• Warm, soapy water: Safe for quartz, jasper, agate, and most non-porous stones.

• Wipe only (no soaking): For delicate minerals such as selenite, malachite, pyrite, or lapis.

✨ Storage

Store your candle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. This preserves the fragrance and prevents discoloration of the wax.
