Care instructions for our products
Each HIKARI piece has been created to transform small moments into rituals of presence. To enjoy your products safely and prolong their durability, we have gathered here the essential usage care instructions.
Container candles
During burns, let the candle burn until the entire surface melts, all the way to the edges of the container. This helps prevent the candle from tunneling in the centre.
Always place the candle on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials.
Before each use, trim the wick to about 5 mm. Trim the wick with a suitable trimmer to remove any burnt residue.
To avoid fire risk, always place the candle on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials.
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Keep away from flammable objects, children, and pets.
We do not recommend leaving the candle lit for more than 4 hours at a time.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
We recommend discontinuing use when a small amount of wax remains at the bottom, for safety reasons and to prevent the container from overheating.
In the case of candles with wooden wicks, a slightly larger amount of wax may remain at the bottom. This is due to the metallic base that holds the wick, which is essential to ensure stability and safe burning. For this reason, the candle does not completely consume the wax to the bottom, which is not a defect, but rather a natural characteristic of this type of wick.
Crystal candles
Remove crystals before lighting the candle.
During burns, allow the candle to burn until the entire surface has melted, all the way to the edges of the container. This helps prevent the candle from tunnelling in the centre.

Important note about wooden wick candles:
Wooden wick candles use a metallic support base, which is essential to ensure stability and safe burning. For this reason, it is natural for a small amount of wax to remain at the bottom of the container at the end of use.
The remaining wax can be reused, if desired.
