The total burn time of your Scented Sand candle can vary depending on how you use it. Are you relighting the same wick or replacing it with a fresh one each time? Do you burn one wick or several at once? How long do you let your candle burn before refreshing the wick? These factors all influence the overall lifespan of your candle.

That said, our sand wax burns slower than traditional candles. A 16oz jar of Scented Sand offers up to 90 hours of burn time when used efficiently.

Each cotton wick is designed to burn for approximately 12 hours, and every 16oz order includes 20 wicks, giving you flexibility and extended enjoyment.

Wooden wicks can be a bit more temperamental than traditional cotton wicks—but with the right technique, you'll enjoy a steady, long-lasting flame.

Prep Tip:

For best results, soak your wooden wick in olive oil and allow it to dry for 24 hours before use. This simple step helps ensure a more stable burn.

Placement Matters:

Insert the wooden wick into the Scented Sand so that only 1/8 inch remains visible above the surface. Proper placement is key to achieving an even burn.

Lighting Technique:

Hold a lighter directly on the wick until you see the sand around it begin to melt. This may take several seconds. Keep the flame on until the wick catches and stays lit after you remove the lighter.

With a little care and patience, your wooden wick will create a warm, even burn that elevates the ambiance of any space.

Unlike traditional candles, our wicks are not anchored to the bottom of the jar—making them inherently safer. As the wick nears the end of its life, it naturally tips over into the melt pool and self-extinguishes. This built-in safety feature prevents the flame from reaching the bottom of the container.

While we always advise never leaving any candle unattended, our Scented Sand design offers peace of mind: each wick lasts up to 12 hours, and thanks to our recommended setup—with at least one inch of space between the wick and the container’s base—the flame goes out safely before heat ever reaches the vessel.

A cleaner, safer, and smarter way to enjoy candlelight.

Yes! One of the best features of Scented Sand is its flexibility. Use any heat-resistant vessel—old candle jars, ceramic bowls, glass containers, or rustic wooden trays all work beautifully.

While we never recommend leaving any flame unattended, our wicks are designed to self-extinguish. Since they aren’t fixed to the bottom of the container, they naturally fall into the melt pool once they burn down, safely putting themselves out before the heat reaches the container

Scented Sand is reusable, customizable, and safer by design. It burns slower, allows you to change vessels, and self-extinguishes for added peace of mind—all while delivering luxurious fragrance and ambiance.

Definitely not! Eating sand wax is a one-way ticket to a very bad day. While it may look tempting and smell incredible, it’s made from waxes, fragrance oil, and materials that are not safe to ingest. You could end up with serious stomach issues, chemical exposure, or worse.

So as tempting as it may be… light it, don’t bite it!

No! We know the bottle looks super cool and unique but, the bottle your sand comes in is packaging only — it’s not designed to withstand heat or open flame. Be sure to pour the sand into a heat-safe vessel of your choice before lighting.
