Care steps
Belora candle care in simple steps
-
Start with the first burn
Let the top layer of wax melt evenly before extinguishing the candle. For the first burn, give your candle enough time to create a full melt pool across the top.
-
Trim the wick before each burn
Trim the wick before each use once the candle has cooled. A shorter wick helps create a smoother, more even burn.
-
Do not burn for too long
Enjoy your candle for a few hours at a time. Burn slowly, let it cool, then relight when you are ready.
-
Extinguish gently
Blow it out gently or use a candle snuffer if you have one. Allow the candle to fully cool before handling it.
-
Keep the wax pool clear
Keep the wax surface free from dust, wick trimmings, matches, or any other debris. Only the wick should be in the wax.
-
Store in a cool, dry place
Store your candle away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep it covered or stored safely when not in use to protect it from dust.
Safety
Burn safely
Always place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface before lighting it. Keep it away from curtains, papers, fabrics, shelves, or anything that can catch fire.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended

Every burn
Make the most of every burn
Each Belora candle is created to bring a specific mood into your space — fresh, calming, floral, cozy, or grounding.
To enjoy your candle properly, it is important to burn it with care. The way you light, trim, extinguish, and store your candle can affect how evenly it burns and how long it lasts.
Questions
Candle care questions
Why is the first burn important?
The first burn helps the wax melt evenly across the surface. This reduces the chance of tunneling and helps you enjoy more of the candle over time.
Why should I trim the wick?
A trimmed wick helps control the flame and supports a cleaner, more even burn. It can also reduce smoke and black marks around the jar.
Can I leave my candle burning while I sleep?
No. Never leave a burning candle unattended or burning while sleeping. Always extinguish it before leaving the room or going to bed.
Where should I place my candle?
Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from fabrics, curtains, papers, shelves, children, and pets.
Can I move the candle while it is burning?
No. The jar and wax may be hot while the candle is burning. Always let it cool before moving it.
