About Our Candles
Every zena moon candle is created, poured and finished by hand,
using a
unique blend of color,
essential oil derivatives and gemstones. Each element lends its unique energy to
the overall intention of the candle. Because of the variety of materials used and
our non-mass-produced environment--(we are a small
studio, not a factory)--each candle's creation takes time and no two candles
ever turn out exactly alike.
Wax
'n Wicks
We
use high quality food-grade paraffin wax and 100% cotton wicks to produce
beautiful candles that burn cleanly and evenly.
Scents
and Crystals
Our
candles contain essential oil-based scents and one or two gemstones especially
chosen to empower the intent of the candle. (For maximum enjoyment,
our candles are NOT highly scented.)
Candle Care & Safety
You
and your loved ones are important to the world. We strongly
encourage you to follow our candle care and safety tips listed below. As our pal
Rebecca says, there are
better ways to get a fireman
into your bedroom than by setting your house on fire.
Candle
Care
1.) Burn your pillar
candle one hour for every inch in
diameter the first time you light it. This allows the wax pool to reach the edge of the candle, and lets
the candle burn
down evenly.
2.) Keep candle wicks trimmed to 1/4" at all times. If the flame gets
much bigger than 1" high, blow it out and trim the wick. This
ensures clean, smoke-free
burning.
3.) Candles need oxygen--in moderation. Avoid placing candles in drafty
areas, including near heater vents or beneath ceiling fans.
4.) You can keep your candles smooth and silky-looking
by gently rubbing them with
regular ol' nylon pantyhose.
5.) Store your
unused candles in a cool, dry,
dark place.
Candle
Safety
1.) Never leave a burning candle unattended.
2.) Keep candles out of reach of children, animals
and commotion.
3.) Always burn candles on sturdy, non-flammable
holders that are appropriate for the
candle's size. We recommend candleholders that are a minimum of 1˝"
larger than the candle's diameter, with a slight curvature and rim.
4.) Never ever ever fall asleep with a
candle burning. This is an
extremely easy, tempting and ultimately dangerous thing to do. As soon as you start feeling the
slightest bit drowsy, no matter how cozy the flame makes you feel, extinguish
all burning
candles.
