PURNIMA is a luxury candle brand whose name means 'full moon' in Sanskrit - evoking a sense of ritual, stillness, and warmth. Each PURNIMA candle is a large-format, long-burning candle designed to fill a room with lasting fragrance and presence.
How long do PURNIMA candles burn?+
PURNIMA candles weigh 1750g, making them exceptionally long-burning - typically 150 to 200 hours depending on the fragrance. They are designed to be a lasting feature of a space rather than a single-occasion candle.
What wax does PURNIMA use?+
PURNIMA candles are made with a premium natural wax blend. The brand avoids paraffin in favour of cleaner-burning alternatives. Specific wax composition is listed on each product page.
How do I care for a PURNIMA candle?+
Trim the wick to 5mm before each lighting to ensure a clean, even burn. On the first burn, allow the wax to melt fully to the diameter of the vessel to prevent tunnelling. Always extinguish with a snuffer rather than blowing out.
Are PURNIMA candles safe to burn at home?+
Yes, when used correctly. Always burn on a heat-resistant surface, keep away from draughts and flammable materials, and never leave a lit candle unattended. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
