▸ Getting Started

Step 1 · Choose Your Vessel

Pour your Candle Pearls into a heat-safe vessel.

For best results, we recommend a vessel that is:

  • At least 10cm in diameter
  • At least 5cm deep
  • Made from a suitable heat-safe material such as glass, ceramic, concrete or stone, or one of our EcoResin Bowls

Always place your vessel on a stable, heat-resistant surface before lighting.

Step 2 · Insert the Wick

Place a wick upright in the centre of the pearls.

Leave approximately 5–10mm of wick exposed above the surface.

For larger vessels, multiple wicks may be used to create a more even burn and enhance fragrance diffusion.

Important: Leave at least 5cm between lit wicks.

Step 3 · Ignite and Enjoy

Light the wick and enjoy.

As the wax surrounding the wick melts, Candle Pearls gradually release their fragrance while creating a warm, ambient glow.

The fragrance is embedded throughout the wax structure, allowing for a consistent fragrance experience from beginning to end.

▸ Refreshing Your Candle
Removing cooled wax and used wick from Candle Pearls

Candle Pearls are designed to be refreshed and renewed.

Once the wax has completely cooled:

  1. Remove any used wick remnants.
  2. Smooth the surface of the pearls if needed.
  3. Top up with additional Candle Pearls if desired.
  4. Insert a new wick.
  5. Relight and enjoy.

Your candle will look fresh and beautiful every time.

▸ Making the Most of Every Pearl

When a wick burns down, you'll notice wax surrounding the wick base. Rather than discarding it, the wax can be reclaimed and reused.

  • Remove the spent wick base.
  • Gently crush the attached wax using a mortar and pestle or similar tool.
  • Return the crushed wax to your vessel.
  • Refresh the pearls, insert a new wick, and relight.

It's a simple way to reduce waste and get the most from every bag of Candle Pearls.

▸ Maximising Fragrance Performance

For the best fragrance experience:

  • Use the appropriate number of wicks for your vessel size.
  • Burn in a comfortable indoor space away from strong drafts or direct airflow.
  • Allow a stable melt pool to develop around each wick for the best fragrance experience.
▸ Safety Information

As with all candles, Candle Pearls should always be used with appropriate care.

Always:

  • Use a heat-safe vessel.
  • Burn on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
  • Keep away from children and pets.
  • Keep away from flammable materials.
  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.
  • Maintain at least 5cm between multiple lit wicks.
  • Extinguish the flame before leaving the room.
  • Allow the wax to cool completely before refreshing the pearls or replacing a wick.

Refresh. Reuse. Relight.

No tunnelling. No wax-stained jars. No burnt-down appearance.
