Lit Wicks London is committed to providing products that are appropriately labelled and supplied with relevant safety information.

1. Product Safety & CLP

Certain Lit Wicks London products contain fragrance oils or other substances that may require classification and labelling under the GB Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (GB CLP) Regulation.

Where CLP labelling requirements apply, the relevant product will be labelled with the appropriate safety information.

This may include, where applicable:

• Product identification

• Supplier information

• Nominal quantity

• Hazard pictograms

• Signal word

• Hazard statements

• Precautionary statements

• Supplemental hazard information

• Relevant allergen or fragrance information

The exact CLP information may differ between products because it depends on the formulation and the hazardous properties of the ingredients used.

2. Safety Information

Please read the safety information and warning labels supplied with your product before use.

For candles and wax melts:

• Keep out of reach of children and pets.

• Never leave a burning candle unattended.

• Keep candles away from flammable materials.

• Keep away from drafts and vibrations.

• Do not move a candle while it is burning or while the wax is liquid.

• Trim the wick as instructed before relighting.

• Discontinue use when the remaining wax reaches the recommended minimum level.

• Use wax melts only in an appropriate wax warmer designed for their intended use.

• Do not ingest candles, wax melts or fragrance products.

• Do not use products for any purpose other than their intended use.

3. CLP Labels

Where a product is classified as hazardous under GB CLP, the applicable CLP label must be followed.

Do not remove, cover, alter or disregard safety or hazard information displayed on the product packaging.

CLP information is product-specific. Customers should always refer to the label supplied with the individual product rather than relying on general information on this website.

4. Fragrance Allergens

Fragrance products may contain substances that can cause an allergic reaction or skin sensitisation in susceptible individuals.

Where required, relevant allergen information will be included on the product label in accordance with applicable legislation.

If you have a known fragrance allergy or sensitivity, please review the product information and contact us before purchasing if you require clarification about the ingredients or fragrance composition.

5. Personalised Products

Personalised products are made according to the information provided by the customer.

Customers are responsible for checking personalised wording, names, dates and other information before placing an order.

Personalisation does not alter the product's intended use or safety requirements.

6. Children & Pets

Our products are not toys.

Candles, wax melts, fragrance oils and other fragranced products should be kept safely away from children and pets.

Burning candles should never be left unattended, particularly around children or animals.
