product details

Twenty-five kilograms of Candella sand wax for events, weddings, and large-scale installations — with 180 cotton wicks included.

A cost-effective, self-extinguishing alternative to pillar candles. Pour into hurricane vases or any heat-safe vessel for a fun, fire-safer event. Reusable, refillable, and dramatically less waste than single-use candles, with faster cleanup when the night ends.

We'll do the math.

Our calculator takes table count, vessel size, and burn-time targets — and tells you exactly how many bags to order. No guesswork. No leftovers (unless you want them).

Side by side

Why event planners are switching from pillars to sand wax.

Pillars are cheaper to buy. Sand wax is cheaper to use. After your second event, the math stops being close.

Pour into any vessel you already own
Locked into pre-formed pillar shape
Self-extinguishes when tipped — venue-safe
Liquid wax pools when tipped — fire risk
15+ min cleanup — pour leftover wax back
60+ min cleanup — scrape wax, dispose of vessels
Reusable across multiple events
Single-use, replaced every event
RSPO-certified palm, vegan, no deforestation
Paraffin (petroleum byproduct)
Higher upfront — flips cheaper after 3 events
Lower upfront — replacement cost compounds

Sand wax costs more per bag. After 3 events of pillar replacements, the math flips. After 5 events, sand wax is roughly 60% cheaper per event — and you have less to clean up.

Wishes the wedding industry would adopt it.

"Sand candles are wonderful and innovative product that I hope more of the wedding/event industry adopt! The cleanup was so easy. Bonus is that if they get tipped over, they extinguish themselves”

FAQ

Questions, answered.

  • Sand candles self-extinguish when tipped — the loose wax smothers the flame rather than pooling. They produce no soot and use cotton wicks (no lead). Most fire-coded venues approve them where standard candles are allowed; double-check with your venue's permit requirements.

  • Order at least 14 days before your event for standard shipping. For express delivery, contact us — we can typically ship within 48 hours and target a specific delivery date.

  • We recommend storing your sand candles in a sealed storage tote or bin to keep them clean, dry, and easy to access.

    For larger quantities, a 45L stackable heavy-duty storage tote from your local hardware or department store (Home Depot, Walmart, etc.) works great. These bins help protect the wax while making stacking and transport simple.

    Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or moisture.

  • It depends entirely on your vessel size — that's why we built the calculator. Click here to calculate your event needs.

  • Refreshing your Candella candle is incredibly easy. Once you extinguish the flame, allow the small pool of melted wax around the wick to cool and harden (it only takes a few minutes). Simply lift out the hardened wax top along with the used wick, then recycle it or reuse it again.

    Candella Pro Tip:
    Don’t throw away the hardened wax top. Simply grind or break it into finer pieces, then add it back into your sand wax to use again.
