The 3-Hour Rule: Why You Shouldn’t Burn a Soy Wax, Hemp, and Coconut Candle

At With Love, Erin, we are committed to transparency and quality in our candle-making process. Our candles are crafted from a unique blend of coconut, hemp, and soy waxes, ensuring a cleaner and longer-lasting burn compared to single-wax candles.

The 3-Hour Rule: Why You Shouldn’t Burn a Coconut, Hemp, and Soy Wax Candle for More Than 3 Hours

To maintain the integrity and safety of our candles, we recommend adhering to the 3-hour burn rule. Limiting each burn session to three hours prevents issues such as overheating, uneven melting, and scent loss. This practice ensures a clean, even burn and extends the lifespan of your candle.

Enhancing Fragrance Longevity

Overburning can diminish the scent throw of soy candles, making them less effective over time. Observing the 3-hour burn rule helps in sustaining the candle's fragrance throughout its lifespan.

Preventing Tunneling

Limiting burn times ensures that the wax melts evenly across the surface, preventing tunneling—a scenario where the candle burns down the center, leaving unused wax along the sides. This practice maximizes the candle's usage and value.

Benefits of Our Coconut, Hemp, and Soy Wax Blend

• Eco-Friendly and Sustainable: Our wax blend is sourced from renewable materials, making it an environmentally conscious choice.

• Enhanced Fragrance Throw: The combination of these waxes allows for a stronger and more consistent release of fragrance, enhancing your sensory experience.

• Longer Burn Time: Candles made from our specialized blend tend to burn slower, providing extended enjoyment and value.

Proper Candle Care Tips

• Trim the Wick: Before each use, trim the wick to 1/4 inch to promote a steady flame and reduce soot buildup.

• Allow Full Melt Pool: During the initial burn, let the wax melt across the entire surface to prevent tunneling and ensure an even burn.

• Follow Burn Time Guidelines: Avoid burning candles for more than 3-4 hours at a time to prevent wick mushrooming and overheating.

By following these guidelines and understanding the benefits of our coconut, hemp, and soy wax blend, you can enjoy a safer, cleaner, and more fragrant candle experience. At With Love, Erin, we take pride in offering products that reflect our dedication to quality and sustainability.
