Time to relax
Trim the wick to about 5mm before lighting. Burn the candle for a minimum of two hours before using as a moisturiser to ensure even wax distribution. Always keep the wax upright and trim the wick before every use. Keep the wax clear, clean and free of debris.
To use a moisturiser: Dip your fingers into the melted wax and rub into your skin.

FAQs
Keep your natural candle out of direct sunlight and give the wick a trim after use.
Simply blow out the flame, dip your fingers into the melted natural candle wax and rub into your skin.
Paraffin is a petroleum by-product, and when burned, it can release chemical nasties – not ideal for your lungs! If you love candles but want a clean, calm environment, go for a natural, non-toxic candle, such as a coconut oil candle like WillPowders The Karen or At Capacity!
They can be. Many scented candles, even those marketed as 'natural,' often use soy wax blends or paraffin as their base. Combine that with synthetic fragrance oils, and when burned, they can release irritating chemicals like phthalates, benzene, and toluene. Hello headaches and hormone disruption! Essential oil candles burn clean without the side of toxins.
Gorgeous gift from Willpowders! This candle is beautiful, the packaging, the smell… it’s also a moisturising candle and if I ever can bring myself to light it and not just stare at it, that will be a fabulous bonus! 🎉

I’m in love with this candle … the smell is sooooooooooo good, it’s subtle but bold. Smells very citrus and uplifting and when applied to my dry legs it absorbs and they feel like silk. Will most definitely be buying it again so please never stop making them !!

Love candles
I am so pleased with this candle, it smells amazing. I’d stopped buying and burning candles because of the chemicals they release so was delighted to have found the Willpowders ones. I love them both!
