All candles are hand-poured in South Moravia. From the first pour to the final packaging, every piece is crafted with care. Made from soy and white beeswax, Jasper candles contain no toxic substances and burn cleanly. Small variations in color or texture are natural features of handmade craftsmanship.

Composition:

• soy wax and white beeswax
• cotton wick

This type of candle is exclusively intended for use in candle holders. These are primarily tall candles, hand-poured from soy wax with an addition of white beeswax. This composition gives the candle a natural appearance but also affects its behavior while burning.

Always place the candle in a stable holder designed for the specific type and diameter of the candle. If the holder has a spike and the candle needs to be pressed onto it, we recommend gently heating the spike with a lighter beforehand. This reduces the risk of cracking or damaging the candle.
⚠️ Any cracking of the candle caused by pressing it onto a spike cannot be accepted as a reason for a complaint.

Wick care

Proper wick care is essential for safe and even burning.
The wick must be trimmed to 3–5 mm before every lighting (before the first use and each subsequent use).

A properly trimmed wick:

• ensures a calm flame of appropriate size,
• extends the candle’s burning time,
• reduces the risk of smoking and excessive wax melting.

An overly long wick, on the other hand, may cause:

• a large and unstable flame,
• black smoke,
• rapid melting of the candle and wax dripping down the candle and into the holder.

If the wick begins to “drown” in the wax, it has been trimmed too short. In this case, gently remove some wax around the wick using another object. ⚠️ The candle must not be lit or hot while doing this.

Wax behavior during burning

A natural property of soy wax (even when blended with beeswax) is that it may soften and flow.

➡️ This means that wax may drip or run while the candle is burning.
➡️ The amount of wax that drips depends on the burning time, wick length, and the type of candle holder used.

For this reason:

• always use the candle only in a suitable candle holder,
• we recommend placing the holder on a non-flammable and easy-to-clean surface,
• do not leave the candle burning unattended for longer than 1 to 2 hours and do not move it while it is burning.
