Learn how to achieve an even, clean burn with your NA BLANCA candle. Follow these simple steps for full wax pooling and extended candle life.

Quick answer

To make your NA BLANCA candle burn evenly, let the wax pool reach the edges on the first burn and trim the wick before each lighting.

Why even burning matters for your NA BLANCA candle

An uneven burn creates a tunnel that wastes wax and shortens the life of your candle. When the wax does not pool fully, the fragrance release is weaker and you lose the clean, green notes of fig leaves and sandalwood that make NA BLANCA special.

The 200g size gives you roughly 40 hours of burn time if cared for properly. Skipping the first burn rule is the most common mistake that leads to tunneling and uneven wax.

Steps for an even burn

First burn: let the wax pool reach the edges: Light your NA BLANCA candle and let it burn until the melted wax reaches the glass edge. This takes about 2–3 hours for a 200g candle. Do not blow it out sooner. A full melt pool on the first burn prevents tunneling for the life of the candle.
Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each lighting: Use a wick trimmer or scissors to cut the wick to about 6 mm (¼ inch). A long wick creates a high, sooty flame that burns unevenly and leaves black marks on the glass. Trimming keeps the flame steady and the wax pool even.
Burn in 3–4 hour sessions: Light the candle for at least one hour per inch of diameter (about 3 hours for NA BLANCA) but no more than four hours at a time. Longer burns overheat the glass and can cause uneven melting. Stick to 3–4 hour burns to maintain an even wax pool and avoid overheating.
Keep the candle away from drafts: Place your NA BLANCA on a stable, heat-safe surface away from open windows, fans, or air vents. Drafts cause the flame to flicker and the wax to melt unevenly. A still environment helps the wax pool stay centered and even.
Center the wick after each burn: While the wax is still liquid, gently nudge the wick back to the center using a wick dipper or a toothpick. A centered wick burns straight and helps the wax melt evenly. Check wick position before the wax hardens to keep the burn consistent.
