Why rapeseed wax?

At Fiamma Candles, I create candles made from 100% natural rapeseed wax—an eco-friendly, sustainable, and plant-based choice. My selection of wax is no coincidence—rapeseed wax is the perfect combination of quality, sustainability, and aesthetics.

Why Rapeseed Wax?

When choosing a candle, scent and appearance are not the only factors that matter. The type of wax plays a significant role in how the candle burns, its environmental impact, and its longevity.

I have chosen rapeseed wax because it:

  • is sustainable and natural, free from harmful substances,

  • burns cleanly and evenly, without producing soot,

  • ensures a longer burn time and enhances the candle’s durability,

  • is hypoallergenic.

Handcrafted with Love and Attention to Detail

Each Fiamma Candle is carefully handcrafted and designed to bring warmth and light into your home. Additionally, rapeseed wax provides a smooth surface, beautifully holds fragrances and colors, and allows for the elegant shapes that define my products.

Instructions for Safe Use

Before Lighting:

  • Always place the candle on a heat-resistant surface (e.g., a ceramic dish or metal holder) and ensure the surface is flat and stable.

  • Keep the candle away from flammable materials such as curtains, paper, and wood, as well as from drafts that may cause uneven burning.

While Burning:

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.

  • Keep the candle out of reach of children and pets.

  • To prevent soot buildup, trim the wick to approximately 0.5 cm before lighting, if necessary.

  • For the first burn, allow the candle to melt evenly across the entire surface to the edges. This helps prevent tunneling and extends the candle’s lifespan.

After Use:

  • Do not move or tilt the candle while it is burning. Allow the wax to cool completely before handling.

  • Always extinguish the candle with a snuffer or by blowing it out carefully to avoid any splattering of hot wax.

Safety Tips:

  • Ensure proper ventilation in the room while burning candles.

  • Keep candles at least 10 cm apart from each other or other objects to prevent overheating.

By following these guidelines, you will extend the life of your candles while creating a warm and safe atmosphere in your home.
