Dust particles can accumulate on the surface of the candle, which can lead to unwanted contamination and reduced fragrance distribution. With a lid you keep your candle clean and in top condition.

A lid prevents this evaporation and helps preserve the scent for longer, allowing you to enjoy the wonderful scent of your soy wax candle for longer.
Fire safety A lid can also help keep your candle safe. While you should never leave a burning candle unattended, a lid can help smother any small flames or sparks if an accident occurs. It provides an extra layer of protection and can help reduce the risk of uncontrolled flames.
