Simply Nestled Frequently Asked Questions

What is the burn time of each candle?
Burn time depends on the candle size:

  • 4 oz candles: 20–25 hours

  • 8 oz & 10 oz candles: 30–40 hours

  • 28 oz candles: 60–65 hours


How do I prevent my candle from producing black soot?
Trim your wick before each burn. Candles naturally create a “mushroom” on top of the wick as they burn. Use a wick trimmer to cut the mushroom and trim the wick to ¼ inch. This promotes a cleaner burn, less soot, and a more even melt pool.


Do I need to trim my Simply Nestled candle before the first burn?
No—our candles are pre-trimmed for the first burn. Only trim after the candle has reached a full melt pool.


Can I extinguish the candle before it reaches a full melt pool?
For the best performance, allow the candle to form a full melt pool before extinguishing. This ensures an even burn.


What if my candle is damaged in transit?
We package all candles carefully for safe delivery. If your candle arrives damaged, email info@simplynestled.com with a photo of the vessel, and we will replace it.

Are these candles safe for use on the skin?
No. Simply Nestled candles are non-toxic for burning, but they are not formulated for skin use. Fragrance concentrations differ between candles and cosmetic products.


Can I burn my candle all day?
For safety and optimal performance, burn candles up to 4 hours at a time. Be cautious touching the vessel while burning. Limiting burns to 4 hours helps create an even melt pool and prolongs candle life.
