What Is In Your Candle?
Each and every candle from WWFMCS is handmade and poured with love and care. Always using products that are only high quality. We use a coconut and beeswax blend infused with eco-friendly, natural fragrances and essential oils. We use real natural crackling wood wicks that give off a soothing low crackle to help set the right ambience. Why the wood wicks, you ask? They are natural wood with no toxins or metals infused in them that can harm you or your loved ones, plus, they just look really cool! With that being said, there are cotton wicks that are also eco-friendly that we, at WWFMCS, may be introducing into some of our collections later down the road. Yes, I know exciting stuff coming soon! Now, what is NOT in your candle? Anything that can be released into your space that contains harmful chemicals or toxins such as Phthalate, Paraffins, Carcinogen, Mutagens, or heavy metals.

Tips For Enjoying Your Candle Longer
On your first candle burn, Light the wick and allow it to burn for at least 1 hour or until at least the top layer of wax has completely liquified. This initial step is kind of a big one as if it is blown out before the melted wax has reached the walls of the jar, it will create a pool of wax surrounding the wick which will cause the wick to drown and burn out and create a constant quick drown out effect and cause the candle to diffuse, and that’s not good! The wax remembers the initial burn path and will want to keep burning within that path. Now for the wood wick, because these wicks are natural wood, they are all unique just like us! Some may light up and stay lit so flawlessly and others may be a little more temperamental and may need to be lit a couple times before it also, like the wax, remembers its burn path and begin to stay lit. After your first burn and each burn going forward make sure to cut or chip off most of the charred edges of the wick leaving about 1/4”, or a smidge more is fine, of the wick. This will avoid the flame being too high and burn too hot which can lead to a potential fire hazard and/or decrease the burn cycle of the candle. Lastly, after you are done enjoying your candle for the time and blow it out, make sure the fire is completely out then cover the candle to retain the fragrance for another enjoyable burn! Never turn your candle out by placing the lid on the jar. Because most of these lids are wood, if the candle happens to not be completely out, that spark may cause the wood lid to catch fire.

Tips for (MINOR) Re-Curing Of Your Candle After Delivery-MINOR Case!
Yikes! Did you get home a little too late after your candle was delivered while it was hot outside? If your candle started to melt and looks minorly uneven at the top., the following steps may help: Make sure your candle is sitting up right. Then, take some foil and wrap a single layer around the outside of the jar to the same level as the wax inside. Take a blow dryer on low to medium heat and heat the top of your candle in slow circular motions just close enough to see the top layer of wax begin to evenly liquify and become leveled. Once you see the top layer look like it is evenly melted from wall to wall of the jar, you can turn off the blow dryer and let the candle stay sitting up right for about 2-3 hours until the wax has clearly and completely hardened back up. Remove the foil. That’s it!

Why Do We Use Coconut Beeswax?
