Infinite refill, no waste

100% vegetable wax, paraffin-free, toxin-free

Zero cleanup: only the wax around the wick melts

The candle becomes modular, customizable, scalable.

Choosing a suitable container

Before you begin, it is essential to select a container that meets the following criteria:

Recommended materials:

Thick glass (jam jar, tea light holder, amber glass)

Ceramic (cup, small bowl, vase)

Metal (tin can, tea pot)

Technical criteria:

Flat and stable bottom

Minimum diameter: 8 cm (for a wick)

No cracking or thermal brittleness

Clean and dry

Aesthetic advice :

Choose a container whose color or material contrasts with the wax for a strong visual effect.

Step-by-step instructions
1. Fill the container

Pour the wax beads up to 1 to 2 cm from the rim. The beads should be evenly distributed to provide a stable base for the wick. No need to pack.

Tip: For a more intense scented ambiance, layer two different scent beads.

2. Insert the wick

Place a wick (cotton or wood) in the center. Leave 5 to 6 mm above the surface.

Lumea wicks are suitable for most household sizes.

Centering tip: Use a small tool (spoon, pliers, stick) to precisely adjust the position.

3. Turn on, enjoy, recharge

Light the wick. Only the surrounding wax melts, creating a localized crater. When there are no more beads left around it, let it cool for a few seconds, then add more beads.

Zero cleaning: No need to empty or scrub the pot. Add, turn on, repeat.

Average duration: a wick burns between 8 and 12 hours depending on the format and the quality of the ambient air.
