We’d recommend this one on the rocks to make it a bit more palatable. Best taken in one quick swig. K?

When a patient walks into the emergency department with a severely elevated potassium level, it's called "hyperkalemia." They will receive a combination of medications to help normalize their potassium, and one of those medications may be a butterscotch smelling thick liquid. Despite the alluring smell, it isn't always the most popular among patients. The way that *I* would make it more palatable for patients was to pour it over ice, like a cocktail. This candle is inspired by this liquid medication on the rocks. I'm sure this product would be much preferable to taking the medication, though.

Notes of butterscotch, bourbon, and vanilla.

This candle is an especially great gift for nurses and other healthcare professionals who work in: emergency, critical care, cardiac care, telemetry, med surg

Basic Candle Care

  • On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the jar’s edge to prevent tunneling.
  • Keep the wick trimmed to ¼ inch before every burn for a longer-lasting, cleaner candle.
  • Burn for 3–4 hours at a time for the best scent throw and minimal soot.
  • Place candles on a flat, heat-safe surface away from drafts or heat sources.

Most importlany: TRIM YOUR WICK before every burn please!

Disclaimer

Each candle is handmade in small batches, which means you may notice small quirks like slightly off-centered wicks, minor jar markings, or uneven labels. None of these affect burn quality or fragrance.

Scent is deeply personal, and while I pour love into every blend, I know not every fragrance will be everyone’s favorite. If you’re unsure about a scent, I’m always happy to answer questions before you buy.
