Coco-Soy Wax Candle Care: How to Get the Most From Your Candle

There’s nothing quite like lighting a beautifully scented candle to set the mood, unwind after a long day, or elevate your space. If you’ve chosen a coco-soy wax candle, congratulations—you’re enjoying one of the cleanest-burning, most luxurious wax blends available.

To help you make the most of your candle, we’ve put together our top tips for coco-soy candle care—because a little love goes a long way.

1. Trim the Wick Before Every Burn

Before you light your candle, always trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This helps prevent excessive flickering, soot, and uneven burning. A trimmed wick gives you a cleaner flame and helps your candle last longer.

Pro tip: Use a wick trimmer or scissors, and remove any debris from the surface of the wax before lighting.

2. Let the Wax Pool Completely

The first time you light your candle, let it burn long enough to melt the entire top layer of wax, all the way to the edges of the jar. This sets the "memory" of the wax and helps prevent tunnelling—when wax burns straight down the middle, leaving unused wax around the sides.

Ideal first burn: 2–4 hours depending on candle size.

3. Burn It Safely

Always place your candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, pets, or anything flammable. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and stop burning when 1/2 inch of wax remains at the bottom to prevent overheating the container.

4. Don’t Burn Too Long

While it’s tempting to keep your candle going for hours on end, limit each burn session to about 3–4 hours. This helps preserve the scent and prevents the container from getting too hot.

5. Store It Right

Keep your coco-soy candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Natural waxes like soy and coconut are sensitive to temperature and light, which can affect scent and appearance.

6. Reuse or Recycle the Jar

Once your candle has fully burned, clean out the jar and give it a new life! Coco-soy wax is easy to remove with hot water. Use the jar for storage, plants, or even as a new candle container if you like to DIY.

Why Coco-Soy Wax?

Coco-soy wax combines the best of both worlds: the clean, slow burn of soy wax and the creamy texture and scent throw of coconut wax. It’s biodegradable, renewable, and free from paraffin—making it a healthier choice for your home and the planet.
