The powdery deposit you may see on the surface of your Crayola product is called bloom. This occurs naturally and is perfectly safe. 

Bloom appears on Crayola wax-based products, such as crayons and coloured pencils. It occurs when oil contained in the paraffin wax used in these products seeps to the surface and re-crystallizes into a milky powder. You may also see this with sculptures made with Crayola Air-Dry Clay as the product ages or is exposed to varying temperatures and humidity. Rest assured, this process is harmless, and the powdery substance and crystallization do not affect the quality or performance of the product. Remove by gently wiping away with a dry cloth.

It’s glow time! We have some tips to help you get the best results from Crayola Glow Fusion.

1. The Glow Fusion technology is a marker-paper system. The paper and marker set combined work together to give your masterpieces up to four hours of glow time. 
2. Protect your work surfaces. Glow Fusion Markers are not washable. 
3. When the markers (activated or not) are not in use, cap and lay them flat in the marker tray to prevent leaking. 
4. For the brightest glow effect, use the markers promptly after activating. 
5. To activate the markers: 
   • Bend the marker barrel at the star points to crack the glow capsules. 
   • Shake the capped marker for 5 seconds.
   • Remove the cap and hold the marker tip down until it glows. 
6. Turn off the lights to see your art shine at its brightest!
