Using Luminescent Powder

For the best experience, choose a fireproof vessel—one that's sturdy and wide enough to maintain a safe distance between the melt pool and the container’s edges. Ideally, the container should have a minimum width of 4 inches at its narrowest point to ensure the heat remains contained. As you light the flame, pay close attention to how the container reacts, ensuring it remains cool to the touch while the powder burns, so you can enjoy your creation safely and beautifully.

The burn time of your Luminescent Candle can vary depending on how you use it. Do you relight the same wick multiple times, or do you refresh it with a new one each time? Are you burning one wick or several at once? How long do you let the candle burn before refreshing it? These factors all influence the longevity of your pearled candle.

However, rest assured that our Luminescent Powder burns more slowly than traditional candles. Each 500g Luminescent Candle offers up to 120 hours of burn time.

Each wick provides around 12 hours of glow, and with every 500g of Luminescent Powder, you'll receive 30 wicks to enjoy.

Indeed, our Luminescent Powder possesses a remarkable ability to float gracefully upon the surface of water. To achieve the best results, we suggest layering at least 2 inches of this enchanting powder atop the water, ensuring that the wick’s base does not come into contact with the liquid below. Simply arrange your chosen decorations within a vase, fill it with water until the decor is fully submerged, and then gently sprinkle the Luminescent Powder over the surface. Watch as it transforms your creation into a captivating display of floating light.

Indeed! To reuse the Luminescent Powder, simply scoop it out using a spoon or capture it with a fine-meshed strainer. Afterward, let the powder air dry on paper towels. For quicker drying, be sure to spread it out evenly.

Using Scent with Luminescent Powder

Our Luminescent Powder arrives naturally unscented, preserving its pure and subtle essence. Yet, should you wish to infuse it with a fragrance of your choosing, a delightful scent may be added before igniting its glow.

Yes! Before you light the candle, take a moment to add a few precious drops of your chosen essential oil or fragrance oil near the wick. This step will imbue your candle with a bespoke aroma, creating a personalized experience.

However, a word of caution: essential oils are highly flammable. For safety’s sake, never add these oils to a candle that is already burning. Instead, apply them to an unlit candle and proceed with care. As you experiment, you may find that some scents blend more harmoniously than others, so take the time to explore and discover your ideal fragrance.

Remember, any changes you make to your candle—whether in color or scent—are at your own risk and responsibility. May your candlelit moments be as delightful as they are safely enjoyed!

Luminescent Wicks

Each wick lasts approximately 12 hours. You will receive 30 wicks with each 500g Luminescent Powder.

Fear not, dear candle enthusiast, for with our Luminescent candles, you are free from the worry of using a wick holder. Our innovative design sets our wicks apart from the traditional norm, for they are not tethered to the bottom of the jar. This clever feature enhances the safety of our candles, for when the wick nears its end, it gracefully falls over into the melt pool and extinguishes itself.

In the event that you leave your Luminescent candle burning longer than intended (which, though safe, is not advised as it is still an open flame), rest assured that it will self-extinguish after approximately 12 hours. We recommend maintaining at least an inch of space between the bottom of the wick and the container’s base, ensuring that the wick will extinguish before the heat reaches the container. Thus, you can enjoy the warm glow of your candle with peace of mind.

Ah, the enchantment of candlelight! Fear not, dear candle enthusiast, for you need not cast away your wick with every flicker. A single wick may light your way through approximately 12 hours of radiant glow. Should you wish to renew its charm, we provide an abundance of wicks with every luminescent candle, allowing you to refresh and rejuvenate your candle to your heart's content.

Should you choose, you may also trim the wick and reuse the untouched portion or even flip it to conceal the melted pool, ensuring zero waste while maintaining your candle’s pristine appearance. Do remember, however, that trimming the wick will slightly reduce its burn time, so handle with care to prolong your candle’s luminous journey.

Ah, the mystery of the fleeting flame. If you find that your wick is extinguishing far too soon, the answer may lie in how it was positioned. Picture this: as you place your wick into the powder, ensure that only a mere quarter-inch of the tip remains exposed—just enough to catch a spark. If the wick is left protruding further than this modest measure, it will burn away more rapidly, cutting short the time you can enjoy its gentle glow. So, next time you light your candle, remember: a little wick goes a long way.
