PRODUCT CARE
How to care for your SANTARA goods with intention and longevity.
At SANTARA™, each item is crafted with care, and we want your products to live beautifully in your home.
Below are our recommended guidelines to keep everything performing at its best.
🕯️ Candle Care
Our candles are handcrafted in small batches to ensure a clean, steady burn. To get the most from your candle:
Before Each Burn
- Trim wick to 1/8–1/4 inch
- Remove any wick trimmings or debris
- Keep the wax surface clean
During Use
- Allow the candle to burn long enough for the top layer to fully melt (prevents tunneling)
- Do not burn longer than 4 hours at a time
- Keep away from drafts, curtains, and pets
- Always burn on a heat-safe surface
After Use
- Extinguish using a snuffer or wick dipper to reduce smoke
- Allow the vessel to cool fully before moving
- Discontinue use when 1/4–1/2 inch of wax remains
Natural Wax Notes
- Minor frosting or uneven texture is normal with natural waxes
- Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
🍯 Honey Care
Our honey is raw, unprocessed, and may vary naturally from batch to batch.
Storage
- Store at room temperature
- Keep container closed when not in use
- Avoid refrigeration if you prefer the syrup form of 100% pure, raw honey— it speeds crystallization
Crystallization
Raw honey naturally crystallizes. Honey color, density, texture and taste may vary naturally by season and temperature — crystallization is a natural sign of it's authenticity. ✅📜👑
To return it to liquid syrup form:
- Place jar in warm water
- Do not microwave
- Do not overheat
☕ Coffee Care
To keep your coffee tasting fresh:
Storage
- Store in a cool, dry space
- Keep sealed after opening
- Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or humidity
Best Enjoyment
- Use within 2–3 weeks for peak flavor
- Grind just before brewing (if applicable)
🍵 Tea Care
Your teas are crafted from pure botanicals and whole ingredients.
Storage
- Store in an airtight container
- Keep away from moisture, strong odors, and sunlight
Freshness
- Best enjoyed within 6–12 months
- Whole-leaf teas maintain flavor longer than dust-grade blends
