Candle Care

  • Every time you burn your candle be sure to allow the melt pool to reach the jar, this will encourage a full, clean burn all the way to the bottom of the jar. 
  • Do not burn for longer than 4 hours. 
  • Trim the wick to 5mm before each burn. 
  • Never leave a burning candle unattended. 
  • Keep candles out of reach of children & pets. 
  • Never burn a candle on or near anything that might catch fire. 
  • Do not touch the candle when it is lit - the jar can get very hot! 
  • If your candle stars to flicker or smoke, blow it out, let it cool down & trim the wick. 
  • Keep the wax pool free of any debris. 
  • Only burn your candle on a level, heat resistant surface.

Why Otter?

I get asked this all the time. There isn't a super deep meaning behind it - if I'm honest it's just because I love Otters! They're super cute and playful & so intelligent. I love animals, and when I was trying to think of a name for my little company I was gravitating around animals & when I eventually landed on Otter I just thought it sounded really sweet & so I ran with it! 

Can I re-use the jar?

Absolutely! The jars we use are completely re-usable & it's super easy to clean them out so you can use them however you please! As long as you've allowed your candle to burn correctly you should only have a little bit of wax left at the bottom of the jar. To remove this wax simply pour boiling water into the jar & leave for a little while. the wax will melt & move to the top, once the water has cooled you will be able to remove the leftover wax. After this simply wash out the jar with hot soapy water.
