How to Make a Candle at Home (The Easy Way)
There’s something appealing about the idea of making your own candle.
But for most people, the reality has always felt a little too complicated.
Until now.
A Simpler Way to Make Candles
The new way to make candles at home isn’t about learning a skill.
It’s about simplifying the process.
No specialised equipment.
No complicated instructions.
No turning your kitchen into a workshop.
Just a considered system designed to fit into everyday life.
All you need is a reativ candle kit, a microwave, and a few minutes of your day.
How It Works
Melt.
Mix.
Pour.
Trim.
That’s it.
A simplified candle-making process designed to remove the complexity — and bring the focus back to creating something by hand.
1. Melt
Heat your wax pouch in the microwave for 2 minutes.
Repeat until fully melted.
2. Mix
Pour your fragrance oil into the melted wax and mix.
3. Pour
Pour the mixture into your vessel and centre the wick.
Leave to set for 2 hours.
4. Trim
Once set, trim the wick to 5mm.
Light and enjoy.
No double boilers.
No measuring.
No guesswork.
Just a candle you made yourself — ready to burn the same day.
Two Ways to Make Your Candle
Whether you’re starting fresh or reusing what you already have, reativ is designed to work both ways:
1. Candle Making Kits
For those starting from scratch.
Candle making kits include everything you need to make one scented candle — including a reusable ceramic vessel designed to be used, refilled, and returned to over and over again.
What’s included in the Refillable Candle Kit:
- 1 reusable ceramic vessel
- 300g coconut + soy candle wax
- 30ml fragrance oil of your choice
- 1 lead-free cotton wick with adhesive base
- 1 wick holder to centre your wick
A complete system — designed to make candle making feel effortless from the very first pour.
2. Candle Refill Kits
For the vessels you already have and love.
Candle refill kits are made to reuse existing candle jars — whether it’s a favourite ceramic piece, a glass vessel, or something you’ve been holding onto.
What’s included in the Candle Refill Kit:
- 300g coconut + soy candle wax
- 30ml fragrance oil of your choice
- 1 lead-free cotton wick with adhesive base
- 1 wick holder to centre your wick
Same process. Same result.
Just a different starting point.
What Makes It Different
Traditional candle making can feel overwhelming.
reativ removes that friction entirely.
Everything is pre-measured.
Every element is designed to work together.
The pouch doubles as your mess-free mixing bowl.
And the wax itself is a creamy coconut + soy blend designed for a slow, clean burn — delivering up to 60 hours of candlelit calm.
It’s candle making, simplified. And intentionally so.
Designed for Real Life
This isn’t a project that takes over your day.
The hands-on process takes minutes. The rest happens quietly in the background.
While your candle sets, you can move on with your day.
Two hours later, it’s ready to burn.
No long curing times.
No waiting days to enjoy it.
Just something you made — ready when you are.
Made to Reuse
At its core, reativ is built around a simple idea:
Candles are meant to be used, enjoyed, and reused.
Not thrown away.
Not repurposed.
Not replaced.
Whether you begin with a refillable candle making kit or a candle refill kit, the experience stays the same — creative, simple, and made to reuse.
Burn.
Refill.
Over and over again.
