🕯️ Candle Care

Each Bookshelf Candle Company candle is hand-poured into a 9 oz fl glass jar with 7.7 oz of wax, offering an approximate burn time of 35–45 hours. 🗝️

For the best experience, allow your candle to burn long enough on the first light for the wax to melt evenly across the surface—typically 2–3 hours. This simple step helps ensure consistent burning and a longer-lasting candle.

  • Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn

  • Burn no longer than 4 hours at a time

  • Always place on a heat-safe surface

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended
