RYTM. BODY PRODUCT SAFETY & USE INSTRUCTIONS

Candle Safety & Use Instructions

In General:

  • Please review all ingredients for each product. If you are allergic to any of the ingredients, DO NOT USE!

  • Perform a “PATCH TEST”

    • Choose a small discreet patch of skin on your body such as behind an arm or behind an ear. Then apply a small amount of the product in question, according to the product directions, and rub it in. Allow it to dry. Do not wash that area for at least 24 hours and watch for signs of a reaction such as abnormal redness or irritation.

  • If an adverse reaction occurs, discontinue use.

  • Please note that adverse reactions are an exception and are not common.

  • All products are for external use only and for non-sensitive skin.

  • Avoid getting the product into eyes or mouth.

  • If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly, several times, with clean water.

In General:

  • Before burning any of our candles, always straighten then trim the wick to ¼ inch.

  • You can use a wick trimmer, nail clippers, or scissors to cut the wick.

  • Long or crooked wicks can cause uneven burning, dripping or flaring and can be a fire hazard.

  • Keep the wax clear of wick trimmings, match pieces and debris at all times.

  • Always burn a candle on a heat and fire safe surface that is fire resistant, sturdy, and large enough to contain any drips of melted wax.

  • Avoid burning a candle in an area effected by drafts, vents or air currents.

  • In general, it is recommended that you do not burn candles for longer than four hours and cool for at least two hours before relighting.

  • Candles burned longer than four hours may overheat and create a fire hazard.

  • When lighting a candle, use long matches or a long-reach lighter.

  • Always keep your hair and loose clothing away from the flame.

    While Burning:

  • Never leave a lit candle unattended.

  • Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire.

  • Keep burning candles away from furniture, drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, flammable decorations, or anything else that may easily burn.

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

  • Do not place lighted candles where they can be knocked over by children, pets or anyone else.

  • Never touch or move a candle while it is burning or while the wax is still molten.

  • For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 1/2 inch of wax remains in the container.

  • Place burning candles at least three inches apart from one another. This is to make sure they don’t melt one another, or create their own drafts that will cause the candles to burn improperly.

  • Extinguish a candle if the flame becomes too high or flickers repeatedly.

  • Let the candle cool, trim and straighten the wick, and check for unwanted drafts before re-lighting.

  • Never use a candle as a night light.

  • Never use a candle or where you may fall asleep.

  • Be very careful if using candles during a power outage. Flashlights and other battery-powered lights are safer sources of light during a power failure.

  • Never burn a candle in a tent or in a non-ventilated space.

  • Candles emit carbon monoxide. Practice and use proper safety measures to limit unsafe exposure to carbon monoxide. Exposure to unsafe limits of carbon monoxide may be fatal.

  • Never use a candle during a power outage to look for things in a closet, or when fueling equipment – such as a lantern or kerosene heater.

  • Extinguishing:

  • Always use caution when extinguishing a candle, whether by blowing out, using a snuffer, or with a wick dipper.

  • Do not use the candle lid to extinguish the candle.

  • Never use water to extinguish a candle. Water will cause the hot wax to splatter.

  • Make sure the candle is completely out and the wick ember is no longer glowing or smoking before walking away from the candle.

  • Do not touch or move the candle until it has completely cooled.

    Storing:

  • It is best to store Rytm. Candles top side up with the lid securely attached, at temperatures between 72F-80F degrees.
