A quick 10cc flush may not mentally transport you to your favorite ocean but hopefully this candle does the trick. If you’re lucky, you can taste the salt.

Nearly every single unit in a hospital utilizes the saline flush; a 10cc syringe pre-filled with sterile normal saline to be injected into an intravenous catheter to ensure patency and usability. It is a very salty substance, and although it is administered through an IV, many patients report that they get a brief taste of salt in their mouths. This candle is not too beachy or tropical, but rather it is inspired by the saltiness of the ocean lingering in the air.

Notes of sea kelp, salt, and white thyme.

This candle is an especially great gift for nurses and other healthcare professionals who work in: emergency, critical care, radiology, endoscopy, gastroenterology, pre op, surgery, PACU, labor & delivery, postpartum, med surg, telemetry, oncology, ortho, pediatrics, dentistry.

Product Info

Candles in the PRN collections are made with 7oz (198g) of a paraffin blended wax. Lots of misconceptions exist surrounding the usage of paraffin wax so for more information please read through the info page which can be found here! A wooden wick is used for the optimal burn, and you may notice that some candles have a smaller or larger wooden wick than others; this is to ensure the safest burn possible. SO much testing goes into every candle.

Total burn time is approximately 40 hours, but never let your candle burn longer than 3-4 hours at a time!

This product is packaged in an amber, glass jar finished with a plastic, black lid. A warning label can be found on the bottom of the candle.

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.

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.
