Safety

💬 1. Communication Comes First

  • Always discuss comfort levels before using any candle or warmth-based product.

  • Use open-ended questions like:

    • “How do you feel about trying temperature sensations?”

    • “What feels comfortable for you today?”

    • "Do you have any sensory needs before, during, or after?"

  • Establish a clear check-in system — whether verbal or nonverbal — so everyone feels in control.

  • Consent should always be enthusiastic, ongoing, and reversible.

🔥 2. Temperature & Safety Basics

  • Test wax temperature before using it on skin. Jade Candles recommends a kitchen thermometer to test wax before pouring or dripping. Alternatively, drip a small amount on the inside of your wrist or forearm to ensure it feels comfortable.

  • Use only candles formulated for body-safe use (like Jade Candles’ wax blends). Regular household candles can burn at unsafe temperatures.

  • Keep a safe distance between flame and skin — about 12–18 inches — when testing any warm drip for comfort.

💧 3. Skin Care & Aftercare

  • Before use, consider applying fragrance-free lotion or coconut oil to make wax removal easier and add a barrier between the receiver and the wax if they prefer it.

  • After use, gently cleanse the area with mild soap and lukewarm water.

  • Apply a soothing, fragrance-free lotion or aloe gel to moisturize.

  • Offer time for cooling down and relaxation — warmth should always end with calm and connection.

  • Check in again afterward about comfort, experience, and future preferences.

🕯️ 4. Candle Handling & Environment

  • Burn candles on a stable, heat-safe surface.

  • Keep away from fabrics, hair, or flammable materials.

  • Never leave a lit candle unattended.

  • Keep a damp towel or bowl of water nearby for safety.

  • Consider keeping a fire extinguisher on hand in case of emergencies.

🌙 5. Emotional Safety

  • Sensory experiences work best in an atmosphere of mutual trust.

  • If anyone feels uncomfortable, pause immediately.

  • No activity or sensation is ever worth continuing without clear comfort and consent.

🌸 6. Aftercare & Connection

After the flame fades, take time to reconnect — talk, hydrate, relax, or simply share quiet space.
Aftercare honors the emotional and physical wellbeing of everyone involved.
It turns warmth into healing, and touch into trust.

✨ Final Note

Jade Candles are made to enhance rituals, connection, and sensory wellness — safely and respectfully.
Always prioritize communication, safety, and care before and after every use.
