PUMPUNDI BY MJ
Soy Candles Designed By MJ
My name is Mabel, I am 12 years old. I am very excited to be launching my own line of fragranced candles made with 100% soy wax. I have named them Pumpundi, which is the traditional name I was given by my Uncle Moogy after a beautiful ceremony where my feet were dipped in the Kurangk waters of my ancestral homeland. Pumpundi means 'Wild Cherry' which grows on Ngarrindjeri country, my country.
WHY SOY WAX?
Soy wax is 100% natural that is derived from vegetable soybeans and is non-toxic. Soy wax has no carcinogens, no pollutants, no artificial, is biodegradable and burns slower and cleaner. Soy wax is better for the environment, pets, and your health.
We do not use paraffin wax as paraffin is made from petroleum oil and produces harmful by-products when burned or melted. Paraffin may maximise the scent; however, we will never use Paraffin due to the harmful by-products.
CANDLE SAFETY
We want you to enjoy your candle as much as we do. To ensure you get the most out of your candle please ensure to follow our candle care instructions. Remember, candles are a naked flame, so please do refer to our safety instructions, as they need to be treated with care and caution.
1. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
2. Never use water to extinguish a candle.
3. Ensure wicks are upright and trimmed to 7mm during use and each time candle is relit.
4. Stop burning when 10mm of un-melted wax remains in the bottom of the glass.
5. Never move a burning candle. Ensure candle is extinguished, wax is solid and jar is cold before handling.

CANDLE CARE GUIDE
How to get the best performance out of your Pumpundi Soy Candle.
1. Prevent soot from forming on the glass by keeping wicks properly placed and trimmed.
2. Never allow the candle flame to come in contact with the side of the glass.
3. Do not use if glass is cracked, chipped or broken.
4. If candle has multiple wicks, they must all be lit every time the candle is used.
5. Never introduce liquids or foreign objects into candle and keep it free of wick trimmings, matches and any flammable materials.
6. If the glass becomes blackened while burning, extinguish candle, allow to cool and clean with a dry paper towel.
7. When not in use, keep candle covered to avoid dust build-up.
8. Use a candle snuffer to properly extinguish a candle flame. If not available, blow gently and steadily on the flame until it is extinguished.
