IAM Candle Care Card
Please take the time to read our Candle Care card to ensure you get the most from our products.
The crystal on the candle is your keepsake. Please remove it before lighting your candle.
Why doesn’t my wick light the first time?
When lighting the wood wick use either long matches or a long gas lighter for ease. Wooden wicks are a little trickier to light. Tilt your candle jar on the side and let the flame run up the wick. If it doesn’t light the first time just keep lighting it until it stays lit.
How do I prevent tunneling?
It's important on the first burn to allow the wax pool to melt all the way to the edge of the jar. By doing this it will help to prevent tunnelling.
How long should I burn my candle for?
Don’t burn the candle too long - medium jars up to 4 hours maximum at a time, and minis up to 1 hour or when the wax pool has melted to the edge of the jar blow out your candle.
My crystal has fallen into the wick what do I do?
Always remove the crystal before lighting your candle. Gently remove the crystal from the wax when it has cooled.
Why is my candle flame burning small?
Wood wicks take a little more effort than cotton wicks, but they are worth it! It’s important to know that typically,their flame is a low-smouldering horizontal flame which will be less bright than a cotton wick and requires attention and tender loving care.
Not all wicks supplied by the manufacturers are exactly the same. If there is a slight variance in the thickness or size of the wicks supplied by the manufacturer it may cause the flame to vary in size. Wood wick candles prefer to be kept out of draughts and burnt indoors.
If the flame is weak, blow out the candle and pour out any excess wax to expose more wick. Relight for 20 minutes: if it's burning okay allow the wax to melt all the way to the edge of the jar before blowing out.
Why is my candle flame burning high?
The common cause is that the wick is too long and needs to be trimmed. When the wax is cold use wick trimmers to cut the wick shorter or gently remove charred ends with your fingertips.
Why is the candle's surface not smooth after burning?
This can be common with soy wax. This is a by-product of all-natural wax and will not affect the performance, product or scent of the candle.
Why is my candle wax frosting?
This is a natural and unique effect of soy wax. The wax is trying to return to its normal form and as a result, begins to crystalise. This won't affect the candle's performance and means your wax is 100% natural!
Where do you source your essential and aromatherapy oils from?
Our suppliers are based in New Zealand and are dedicated to supplying the highest-qualityoils.
Where do you purchase your crystals from?
Our supplier sources their products from all over the world: Madagascar, Morocco, Brazil, Africa and Pakistan. They are passionate about ensuring they put good business practice before profit. They put a lot of work into finding suppliers with good sustainable practices, happy and healthy staff, and a shared ethos.
Where is your Palo Santo from?
Our supplier sources Palo Santo from Peru. It is sustainably harvested only from naturally fallen branches. Peru has strict regulations to ensure the sustainability of the supply. All Palo Santo is effectively organic – but none is certified as it is all from wild forests. Note: These sticks are hand cut so the sizes vary, and not all are a uniform shape.
