A Little Care Goes a Long Way

Your Welcome Home Ritual petite candles are lovingly hand-poured in Australia using a premium blend of pure soy and coconut wax with cotton wicks.

Designed for shorter, intentional moments, each candle brings warmth and beautiful fragrance into your home.

Just a few seconds to trim your wick before lighting makes all the difference.

The Secret to a Beautifully Clean Burn

Trim your wick. Every single time. Including the first.

SJ Energy Candles are carefully crafted to deliver a beautifully clean burn.

When burning correctly, the inside of your glass should remain free from black soot, although a faint grey residue may occasionally appear.

Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to approximately 3–5 mm, including before the very first burn.

Your Welcome Home Ritual includes a wick trimmer to make this simple.

The Perfect Little Burn

Your petite candles are designed to be enjoyed in shorter sessions.

Allow the melted wax to reach the edges of the glass, which usually takes approximately 20 minutes.

Never burn your petite candle for longer than one hour at a time.

This helps preserve the life of your candle and reduces excessive heat buildup in the glass.

Let Your Candle Rest

Once you've extinguished the flame, allow the wax to cool and completely solidify before lighting it again.

This gives your candle time to reset before its next beautiful moment.

Why Is My Candle Leaving Black Marks?

A properly maintained SJ Energy Candle should not leave heavy black soot inside the glass.

If you notice black marks, there are two important things to check.

1. Your wick may be too long.

A wick that's too long can create a larger flame and produce black soot.

Extinguish your candle, allow it to cool completely, then trim the wick to approximately 3–5 mm before relighting.

2. Your candle may be sitting in a draught.

Air conditioning, fans, open windows and passing breezes can cause the flame to lean, flicker and burn unevenly.

Move your candle to a sheltered, stable, heat-resistant surface before relighting.

A calm, steady flame is what you're looking for. If excessive smoking or soot continues after these adjustments, extinguish the candle and discontinue use.

A Few Important Reminders

Always place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, children, pets and flammable materials.

Never leave a burning candle unattended.

Keep the melted wax free from wick trimmings, matches and other debris.

Never move your candle while the wax is hot or liquid.

Discontinue use if the glass becomes cracked or damaged, and never rely on the wick to extinguish itself.

Make a little time for yourself. Make it feel like home.
