Candle Care Ritual

Candle Care Ritual

Astro candles are crafted with the finest soy wax and premium ingredients.
To ensure your candle burns beautifully and safely, we recommend:

• On the first burn, allow the entire surface to fully melt. This prevents tunnelling and ensures an even burn throughout the life of your candle.

• Burn for approximately 2 hours at a time — no longer than 3 hours. Overburning may cause the vessel to overheat.

• After extinguishing the flame, gently centre and straighten the wick while the wax is still soft.

• Before each burn, trim the wick to ¼ inch to prevent smoke and promote a longer, cleaner burn.

• Discontinue use when approximately ¼ inch of wax remains at the bottom.

• Ideally, use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame.

• Never leave a burning candle unattended.

• Never move a candle while it is lit or while the wax is liquid.

• Keep out of reach of children and pets.

• Keep away from anything that could catch fire.

How to Remove the Crystals from Your Candle

Follow these simple steps to remove the crystals from your candle safely.

1. Set out the tray Before lighting, keep the tray nearby — this is where the crystals will go once removed.

2. Light the candle Light the candle as usual and let it burn.

3. Extinguish the candle Blow out the flame when you're ready to stop.

4. Wait 5 minutes Wait 5 minutes after extinguishing. This gives the wax time to cool enough to handle safely, while staying soft enough to release the crystals easily.

5. Remove the crystals Carefully lift the crystals out of the wax.

6. Place them on the tray Set the removed crystals on the tray, ready to use or display.

Done! Your candle's crystals are removed and the tray is set.

Repurposing Your Ritual Vessel

Every Astro vessel is created to remain with you long after the flame has completed its work.

Once your candle has finished, gently remove any remaining wax using warm (not boiling) water, cleanse with mild soap, and dry with care.

Your vessel is ready for its second life —
as a crystal keeper, jewellery holder, sacred herb jar, miniature vase, or a quiet altar piece.

At Astro, nothing is disposable.
Everything is ritual. Everything is memory.

 

Sustainability

At Astro Magic Candles, sustainability is not an afterthought — it is part of our ritual.

Our candles are hand-poured in the United Kingdom using responsibly sourced soy wax and premium oils. By keeping production local and small-batch, we reduce transport impact while maintaining the highest standards of quality and care.

Our vessels are designed to be kept — not discarded. Created to live on your altar, vanity or sacred space long after the flame has completed its work.

With every order, one tree is planted.
For every flame lit, something grows.

We continue to evolve, refine and improve — honouring both beauty and responsibility in equal measure. 🌿
