Because each item is dipped by hand, small variations in size can occur.  We recommend candle adhesive to keep your beeswax straight, secure, and to prevent excessive dripping. 

Over time, candles may develop a thin white film called 'bloom'.  This forms when the candles are stored in cool environments.  Bloom is only produced by 100% pure beeswax, so it is a good indicator that the wax is pure.  The film is harmless and the candles can be burned with the film present.  If you prefer to have a clean surface, gently wipe the candles down with a soft cloth.
