Candle Care
To enjoy the best experience from your candle, we recommend following these simple care instructions.
At Angeliki Phos, each candle is hand-poured using natural soy wax, beeswax, and pure essential oils. Proper candle care helps ensure a clean, even, and longer-lasting burn.
Before Each Burn
• Trim the wick to approximately 5mm before lighting
• Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface
• Keep away from drafts, fans, curtains, and open windows
• Never leave a burning candle unattended
The First Burn
Allow the wax to melt fully to the edges of the vessel during the first burn.
This helps prevent tunnelling and supports an even burn throughout the life of the candle.
Recommended burn time:
• Small candles: 2–3 hours
• Medium/Large candles: 3–4 hours
Burn Time Recommendations
• Do not burn for longer than 4 hours at a time
• Allow the candle to cool before relighting
• Trim the wick before each use
When to Stop Burning
Discontinue use when approximately 1cm of wax remains at the bottom of the vessel.
A Note on Natural Wax
Because we use natural soy wax blended with beeswax and pure essential oils, slight variations in texture, colour, or frosting may occur.
These are natural characteristics of plant-based waxes and reflect the authenticity of handcrafted candles.
Candle Safety
• Keep away from children and pets
• Never move a candle while hot
• Do not burn near flammable objects
• Always extinguish safely
