Beeswax does not have a shelf life, however it is a natural product and will change colour.

A whitish film will develop on your candles with time called bloom. Bloom appears when oils in beeswax rise to the surface over time. This occurs only on 100% pure beeswax candles making it a thing of beauty.

However, if you prefer your beeswax polished and fresh looking then there a ways of removing the bloom. Just run your fingers/hands or a thin soft cloth over your candle/s and warmth from the body will temporarily remove the bloom.

Never leave lit candles unattended. Keep away from drafts & curtains. Keep out of reach of children & pets. Never move a lit candle. Never burn candles near flammable items (curtains, beds, tents, etc). Sit candles on a stable, fire resistant plate whilst burning. Trim wicks as necessary.

Hand washing your ceramics is recommended.

Avoid moving items between extreme hot or cold environments such as an oven or freezer, as this could cause thermal shock and result in fragility and cracking and/or breakage.

Jewellery should be removed before sleeping, showering, undertaking physical activity or other heavy duty activities to avoid unintentional damage.

Items should be stored separately to prevent scratching.

Direct contact with hairspray, perfumes and other chemicals may cause jewellery to discolour.
