Why Wooden Wicks? The Benefits and How to Use Them..
Candles are more than just a source of light—they create ambiance, evoke memories, and bring a sense of warmth and relaxation to any space. At LARA, we choose wooden wicks for our candles, not just for their beauty but also for their incredible benefits.
If you've never tried a wooden wick candle, you're in for a treat! Let’s explore why they’re special and how to use them correctly for the best experience.
The Benefits of Wooden Wicks
🔥 A Cozy Crackling Sound
One of the most loved features of wooden wicks is the soft crackling sound they produce while burning. It mimics the comforting ambiance of a fireplace, making your home feel even cozier.
✨ A More Even & Clean Burn
Wooden wicks provide a wider flame, which helps melt the wax evenly. This prevents tunneling (when wax builds up on the sides) and ensures you get the most out of your candle. Plus, they produce less soot, keeping your air cleaner.
🌿 Eco-Friendly & Sustainable
Unlike traditional cotton wicks, wooden wicks are natural and sourced from sustainable wood. They are free from additives and provide a cleaner burn, making them a great choice for eco-conscious candle lovers.
💡 Stronger Scent Throw
Because wooden wicks burn slower and hotter, they help distribute fragrance more effectively. This means your candle will fill the room with its scent faster and last longer.
How to Use Wooden Wick Candles Correctly
To get the best experience from your LARA wooden wick candle, follow these simple tips:
✅ Trim the Wick Before Each Burn – Keep it about 3-5mm long. If the wick is too long, it may not burn properly. You can pinch off the burnt part with your fingers or use a wick trimmer.
✅ Let the Wax Melt Evenly – The first time you light your candle, let it burn for at least 1-2 hours so the wax melts all the way to the edges. This prevents tunneling and ensures a smooth, even burn.
✅ Avoid Drafts – Burning your candle in a breezy spot can cause the flame to flicker too much, leading to uneven melting.
✅ Extinguish Safely – Instead of blowing out the candle, use a candle snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax to prevent smoke.
