Are the candle wicks pure cotton and why do they occasionally result in a mushroom effect?Updated 6 days ago

We only use pure cotton wicks which are free of heavy metals such as lead and are made from all-natural, cotton fibres to ensure a clean burn. Keep your wick trimmed and away from direct draughts, which can make it smoke.

A mushroom effect on the end of your wick happens when the wick absorbs more wax than it can burn, which often means the wick is too long. To prevent it, trim your wick to 5mm before every burn. When the wick is cold, you can also gently pinch off the top where it naturally breaks.
