Candle knowledge

Safe Candle® are candles with an integrated wick holder that ensures that the candle extinguishes itself at the critical point. The patented safety system guarantees that the flame does not slide down the wick channel, thus reducing the risk of fire.

The integrated wick holder, which is 17 mm high, naturally leaves a corresponding amount of candle residue. With optimal care and correct burning, this residue is as small as possible and the candle still provides the necessary safety aspects.

If possible, a candle or light should always burn long enough for the burner to completely liquefy. Extinguishing it too often or too early leads to tunneling, which leaves too much residual wax.

PURE® candles are made from canolaseed stearin, which we source from Europe.

PURE® cylindrical candles are made from animal stearin, which is obtained from slaughterhouse waste. We use a waste product and recycle it into a decorative element. The candles are however, odorless

When purchasing raw materials, we pay attention to quality and traceability of the sources, which is certified with the Nordic Swan label. In addition, the packaging is plastic-free.

The PURE® NATURAL LIGHTS cups are made of recycled plastic. This makes the entire range particularly resource-efficient and shows the current state of development in the field of sustainable candles and lights.

If the candle produces soot, this is usually a sign that the wick is too long. If this is the case, extinguish the candle and shorten the wick to 1 cm. Another cause could be a wick that is clogged with dirt. This creates a so-called "wick bloom", which should also be removed.

The main cause of candles leaking is usually a draft. This causes the flame to become unstable and the burner plate to expand. At a certain point, the edge becomes too thin and melts, causing the liquid wax to leak out. Containers that are too small or narrow can also contribute to the candle leaking, as the resulting heat build-up heats the edge from the outside until it can no longer hold the liquid wax.

If the wick falls over or there are impurities in the burner plate, the cover may be exposed to too much heat and begin to melt/smolder. Another cause may be the use of an unsuitable container that does not provide sufficient air circulation, so that the cover begins to melt due to the trapped heat. The same problem occurs when lights are placed too close together. We recommend a minimum distance of 3 cm.
