  • How do I care for my Shine Lab candle?
    Caring for your Shine Lab candle is as simple as enjoying its warm glow. To make the most of your candle's life and fragrance, here are a few tips: On the first burn, allow your candle to create an even melt pool across the entire surface. This sets the stage for a consistent burn in the future. Trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch before each use to prevent excessive smoke and maintain a clean burn. Keep your candle away from drafts to ensure an even burn and prevent sooting. Always place your candle on a heat-resistant surface and never leave it unattended while burning. When your candle has about 1/2 inch of wax left, it's time to bid farewell. This prevents the container from overheating. Following these simple steps will help you enjoy your Shine Lab candle to the fullest, creating a cozy and inviting ambiance in your space.
