WNM Essentials

Our small-batch production ensures meticulous care and attention to detail for each candle. With an increasing line of distinctive scents available, you'll find the perfect fragrance for your home or as a gift.

WNM Essentials is proud to partner with Forward Progression Mentor/Apprenticeship Program, Inc. to support at-risk youth right here in Columbia, SC.

Starting this year, a portion of every candle sold goes toward empowering students and future leaders through mentorship, education, and opportunity.

This isn’t just charity—it’s impact. And it starts with you.

To ensure a safe, clean, and long-lasting burn, follow these essential guidelines when enjoying your WNM Essentials candle:

1. First Burn = Memory Burn

Burn the candle until the melted wax reaches the edges of the vessel (typically 2–4 hours).

This prevents tunneling and promotes an even melt pool for future burns.

2. Trim the Wick

Always trim your wick to ¼ inch before each burn.

This ensures a steady flame, minimizes soot, and prevents mushrooming.

3. Burn Responsibly

Never burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.

Allow the wax to cool and solidify between burns to extend candle life.

4. Stay Fire-Safe

Keep your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, flammable objects, children, and pets.

Never leave a burning candle unattended.

5. Stop. Drop. Don’t Burn Below.

Discontinue use when ½ inch of wax remains at the bottom of the vessel.

This protects surfaces from heat damage and reduces fire risk.

6. Reuse with Intention

Clean out your finished jar and repurpose it! Great for storing small items or plant propagation.

For disposal, follow local recycling guidelines.
