Product Care

Alpenglow Candle Co. products are handcrafted utilizing a specially natural soy wax blend ideal for the wet, cool environment of Southeast Alaska.  We use only premium quality fragrance oil and metal-free, cotton-core wicks to ensure a clean and even burn.  To maximize the life of your candle and ensure a quality experience, please follow these recommendations when burning your candle:

1. Always keep away from children, pets, and anything that could catch fire. Burn on a sturdy, non-flammable surface.
2. On first use, burn at least 45 minutes for backpackers (4oz) candles and 90 minutes for large (9oz) candles.
3. Trim wick to 1/4" after each use.
4. Discontinue use when 1/4" of wax remains.
5. Never leave burning candles unattended, keep them within sight at all times.
6. Avoid drafty areas and ensure there is enough air space around candles. 
7. Keep the wick centered.
8. If there is smoking, extinguish and trim the wick, remove trimmings, and relight. 
9. Keep the wax pool free of debris, matches, or other flammable materials.
10. After extinguishing, do not cap until smoke has ceased
