General Care

Dear Candle Lovers and Valuable Customers,

Should I be concerned about lead in candles?


Most U.S. candle manufacturers stopped using wicks with lead or lead alloy cores 30 years ago. If you are concerned whether the wick in a candle contains lead, snip a piece of unburned wick, remove the wire core and rub it across a sheet of paper. Lead wicks will write like a pencil, while all cotton or safe zinc core wicks will not.

Morenci Candles has never used lead core wicks. Our wicks are a paper core which is safe when burned following the below directions.

 

Jar Candle Safety

1. Morenci Candles are constructed to burn evenly, preventing the thick layer of wax that forms around the outside of the jar like other candles. For maximum usage, allow wax to burn at least 3-4 hours during each usage.

2. Handle with care, as the container is fragile. Do not use if jar is cracked, chipped or scratched.

3. Place on protected, heat resistant, dry surface, well away from anything flammable, and out of the reach of children.

4. Do not allow flame to directly touch side of glass container. Keeping wicks trimmed and centered will help prevent this.

5. Sides and bottom of container may become hot while candle is burning. Please do not handle the candle while hot or when there is a liquid melt pool.

6. Discontinue use when 1/2 inch" of wax remains. This will prevent possible heat damage to the counter surface or the container itself.

7. Extinguish candle before replacing lid.

8. Store in a cool, dry place. Exposure to moisture might inhibit relighting. Color, fragrance and specific usage affect wax consumption. It is normal for some wax to be left lining the edges of the container.
