Traditional candles are usually made with paraffin or soy wax and are often contained within jars or holders. Candle Sand candles, offer a quick and versatile candle by simply pouring the wax granules into your chosen container and adding a wick. They also tend to burn cleaner and for longer than traditional candles. The Candle Sand recycling cycle significantly reduces candle waste destined for landfills compared to traditional candles.

Fireproof containers are recommended however it is possible to use other containers if done so safely. The key is to prevent the melted wax pool from reaching the container edges to prevent leaving a solid wax residue on the container and also to prevent heat transfer.
We recommend at least 4cm of granules around each wick (only use one wick in a 8cm wide container). Leave at least 2cm between the bottom of the wick and the container base.

Yes! You can personalise your Candle Sand experience by adding your own scent to the wax granules.
Place a few drops of your favourite essential oil or candle fragrance oil near the granules surrounding the wick BEFORE lighting the candle. Remember that oils are highly flammable, so proceed with care. Never add oils to a burning candle. Different oils may yield varying results so experiment until you find the scents that work for you.

Yes, our wax granules are plant-based, clean-burning, and non-toxic. We recommend keeping them out of reach of pets since they’re technically not edible and when lit always pose as a potential hazard. Safety first!

No, you can relight the same wick multiple times and burn it for as long as it lasts. Each 6.5 wick can burn for approximately 20 hours. You can cut the wicks and re-use the part under the shell that hasn't been burned or cut the wicks to size for shallower containers. Keep in mind cutting the wick will shorten the burn time.

The most common reason why the wick is not burning for the full 20 hours is if the wick tip is left too far out of the granules. When inserting the wick, aim to only show a 5mm tip exposed to ignite, leaving the wick out further will shorten the burn time.
