New to candle refills? You’re in the right place. reativ’s refillable candle system makes it easy to enjoy your favourite candles over and over again without having to buy yet another single-use vessel. Here’s your ultimate guide to getting the most out of your candle refills.
1. What is a Candle Refill?
A candle refill is exactly what it sounds like — a pre‑measured, ready‑to‑make candle kit that helps you reuse your existing vessels – perfect for those empty candle jars that are too good to throw out. Our plant‑based pouches are microwavable, compostable, and mess‑free, so you can create a fresh candle in minutes.
2. What You’ll Need
Refilling your candle is simple. You only need:
-
Your clean, empty (heat-safe) candle vessel – an empty favourite, or a reativ reusable ceramic vessel.
-
A reativ candle refill kit (includes 300g coconut soy candle wax, 30ml clean fragrance oil, a cotton wick with sticker, and a wick holder to keep your wick in place).
-
A microwave (or stove top if you don't have access to a microwave).
3. How to Refill Your Candle
-
Prepare your vessel – Remove any leftover wax and wipe it clean.
-
Microwave and mix – Heat the candle wax pouch for 2 minutes until fully melted. Mix in your fragrance oil once fully melted.
-
Pour and set – Secure your wick, pour the wax, and let your candle set for two hours.
That’s it — your new candle is ready to burn in just a couple hours. Effortless Creative Self-care that fits into your busy day.
