Candle Care

Our .candles are handmade using natural soy.  Each one may vary slightly.  Consistency may vary, however rest assured they are poured with love. 

We are vegan friendly, not tested on animals, and use lead free cotton wicks.

xo Brown Girl Candle Care Tips:

  • For best results, trim wicks prior to burning and avoid burning longer than 3 hours at a time.

  • For an even burn, allow the melt pool to reach across to the edges before extinguishing.  This avoids wasting wax on the sides.  If you blow your candle out before it reaches across the sides, then every burn thereafter will only make it that far.

  • Never leave or move a lit candle.

  • Always keep out of reach of children and pets.

  • Avoid exposure to drafts.

  • Never leave a lit candle unattended.

  • Always store the candle in a cool dry place, away from sunlight.

  • Discontinue burning when there is 1cm of wax left in the jar.

  • Wash and re-use.

Failure to follow instructions could result in fire, hazard, or injury.

How to clean:
