2" Wick Refill 20 Pc

Sand candles are made from granulated plant-based wax poured into a heat-safe container. Unlike traditional candles, there's no melting or pouring hot wax — the wax granules stay loose until the wick lights them, at which point only the wax immediately around the flame melts into a small liquid pool. The surrounding dry granules act as natural insulation and a self-extinguishing barrier if the candle tips over.

Pour the granulated wax into a heat-safe container (ceramic, metal, or thick glass — minimum 3-inch diameter). Insert the wick vertically into the center of the wax, leaving about ¼ inch of wick above the surface. Light the wick. The flame melts only the wax immediately surrounding it — the rest of the granules stay dry. A standard 6oz container provides 20–40 hours of burn time.

Yes, in three ways. (1) Self-extinguishing if tipped — loose granules smother the flame rather than spreading like liquid wax. (2) No hot wax pool to spill if knocked over. (3) Cleaner burn — most sand candles use plant-based (soy or coconut) wax that releases less soot than paraffin. Standard candle safety still applies: keep away from flammable items, don't leave unattended, trim wicks to ¼ inch before lighting.

Burn time depends on container size and wax fill. A 6oz container burns 20–40 hours; a 12oz container burns 40–80 hours. Sand candles burn slower than traditional candles because only a small pool of wax melts at any given time. To extend burn life, trim the wick to ¼ inch before each lighting and avoid burning in drafty areas (drafts cause faster, uneven consumption).

Yes — sand candles are fully reusable. Once the wick is consumed, remove the small hardened wax puddle, pour any unmelted granules back into their packaging (or a sealed jar), and reuse with a new wick next time. You can also pour the remaining granules into a new container shape for a different look. This is a key advantage over traditional candles, which are one-use.

Any heat-safe container at least 3 inches in diameter works — ceramic bowls, metal tins, thick glass votive holders, or specialty concrete vessels. Avoid thin glass (can crack), plastic (melts), wood (fire hazard), or containers with narrow openings that trap heat. For longer-burning candles, choose a wider container so the wax pool stays shallow and the flame stays stable.

Yes — scented sand candles deliver steady, medium-strength scent throw for the duration of the burn. Because only a small wax pool is heated at any moment, the scent release is gentler than a fully-melted traditional jar candle but lasts longer per gram of wax. For stronger scent coverage in large rooms, pair a sand candle with a cold-air diffuser running a complementary fragrance profile.

Our scented sand candles come pre-scented. To add more fragrance, mix 3–5 drops of fragrance oil per ounce of sand wax into the granules before pouring into the container and stir gently. Use Aroma Paradise fragrance oils rated for candle-making — cosmetic-grade oils and essential oils can have lower flashpoints and may not burn cleanly. Always test a small batch first.

Yes. Our sand candle wax is 100% plant-based (soy and coconut blend), cruelty-free, and phthalate-free. The fragrance oils used are IFRA-compliant. No paraffin, no lead-core wicks, no toxic additives. Safe for use in homes with children and pets when standard candle safety is followed — keep out of reach, burn on stable heat-safe surfaces, never leave unattended.

The easiest way: dip the wick into the small melted wax pool using a metal wick dipper, then lift it straight. This extinguishes the flame cleanly without creating smoke or scattering hot wax. If you don't have a wick dipper, gently press the wick into the wax with a metal tool (not your fingers). Avoid blowing the candle out — blowing can splash wax and create smoke. Let the wax pool solidify fully before moving the candle.
