Shop sand candlesWhat makes it different
No jar to throw away. Pour sand wax 
into a glass, shell or bowl 
you already own, then refill it 
when it burns down.
A sand candle is loose, plant-based wax you pour into any heat-safe vessel. Add a cotton wick, light it, and top it up with fresh wax instead of buying a new candle.
4 simple steps
How to use a sand candle
Each pouch comes with plant-based sand wax and cotton wicks. No melting, no mess.
-
Pour into any vessel
Pour the sand wax into any heat-safe glass, mug or bowl. Glass, ceramic, metal and stone all work, as long as it can handle heat.
Tip
Wide, shallow vessels give the softest glow, like a coupe glass or bowl.
-
Insert and trim the wick
Press a cotton wick into the centre of the wax and trim it to ¼ inch above the surface. Wicks come with every order.
Tip
Classic (350g) includes 8 × 15 cm wicks for 80+ hours of candlelight.
-
Light and enjoy the glow
Light the wick and relax. Want a scent? Add a few drops of essential oil near the wick before lighting, as strong as you like.
Tip
If the vessel tips, the loose wax smothers the flame, unlike a melted jar candle.
-
Lift, compost, refill
When the wick burns down, the top layer firms into a thin disk. Lift it out, compost it, pour fresh wax and light it again.
Tip
Grind the used disk back into fine wax and pour it again for even less waste.
