The Mandle

A wooden wick candle is a type of candle that uses a slender strip of wood instead of the traditional cotton or hemp wick. These candles are known for their unique features, which include a distinct crackling sound reminiscent of a fireplace, creating a cozy and relaxing ambiance. They often burn cleaner and more evenly, and many people find them aesthetically pleasing due to their rustic charm.

After burning, a wooden wick can develop a charred residue. It's crucial to trim the wick to remove the burnt section, leaving a fresh surface that can ignite more easily.

Our pure wood wicks are sourced from a company that supports the replanting of trees with every wick purchased.

Our jars are made from the most recyclable material known, glass.

The wax we use is a blend of coconut and rapeseed. We use it because it's:

• Sustainable: Coconut wax is derived from the meat of coconuts, a renewable and sustainable resource. Rapeseed plants are a renewable resource, and the cultivation process is relatively gentle on the environment.
• Biodegradable: It breaks down naturally, causing minimal environmental impact.
• Minimal Soot: Produces less soot and smoke, resulting in a cleaner burn and better air quality.

Remove the burnt wood in between burns. Otherwise you may not be able to relight the candle very easily.

Burn to the edges each time you light your candle to avoid 'tunnelling'.

Make sure there is no debris sitting on the wax as this can affect the flame and potentially cause smoke.

Keep out of direct sunlight, this could cause discolouring and potentially affect the wax as it’s likely to melt in the heat.

Always burn in a safe place on a protective surface.
