A little care goes a long way.

Each Ridge & Roan Collective candle is hand-poured in small batches with 100% soy wax and premium phthalate-free fragrance oils. Following these simple tips will help your candle burn cleaner, last longer, and perform beautifully from the first light to the last.

The FIRST Burn (and most important!)

Allow your candle to reach a full melt pool on the first burn.

The first time you burn your candle sets the “memory” of the wax. Allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the jar before extinguishing (typically 2–4 hours depending on candle size). This helps prevent tunneling and ensures an even burn throughout the life of your candle.

Trim Your Wick

Keep your wick trimmed to ¼ inch before every burn.

A properly trimmed wick helps:

• Reduce soot and smoke

• Prevent large flames

• Create a cleaner, more consistent burn

• Extend the life of your candle

Before each use, allow your candle to cool completely, then trim away any wick mushrooming or excess carbon buildup.

Burn Time Guidelines

For the best results:

Never burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time
Never leave a burning candle unattended
Keep away from drafts, pets, children, and flammable objects
Always burn on a heat-safe surface

Soy Wax Tips (What Makes Soy Special)

Because soy wax is a natural wax, you may notice small imperfections such as:

• Frosting

• Slight texture changes

• Wet-looking spots

• Variations in color

These are natural characteristics of soy wax and are a sign of a handcrafted candle. They do not affect the scent or performance of your candle.
