What is a Pearled Candle?

A pearled candle is a new kind of candle made from thousands of tiny, plant-based wax pearls that you pour into any heat-safe container. Instead of a fixed jar candle, you create your own: choose the container, pour the pearls, place a wick, and enjoy a soft, elegant glow that looks different every time.

With Sequoia®, each pearled candle is:

  • Reusable – you keep the container and simply add more pearls.
  • Customisable – change the container, height, and style whenever you like.
  • Safer by design – if the candle is knocked over, the loose pearls help smother the flame.
  • Clean & non-toxic – made from plant-based wax with clean-burning, phthalate-free fragrances.

How a Pearled Candle Works

Using a pearled candle is simple:

  1. Pour the pearls : Fill a heat-safe container (glass, ceramic, metal…) with Sequoia® wax pearls. You can reuse a favourite jar, a vase, or any décor piece that fits your style.
  2. Place the wick : Insert a cotton wick upright in the pearls. It will anchor itself as you gently press it down.
  3. Light & reuse : Light the wick and enjoy. A small melt pool forms around the wick and then re-solidifies when cool. You can keep using the same wick until it’s finished, or replace it and refresh the look of your candle.

Why Pearled Candles Are Different from Traditional Candles ?

1. Reusable & low-waste

Traditional jar candles are thrown away once they tunnel, deform or burn down. With Sequoia®, you keep the container and simply refill it with pearls. No more half-burned jars in the trash.

2. Designed for creativity

Because the wax is loose, you can:

  • Switch containers anytime
  • Create floating candles in bowls or vases of water
  • Play with height, layers, and decorative elements

Every pearled candle becomes a mini décor project, not just a standard candle.

3. Safer for homes with kids & pets

If a classic candle tips over, melted wax and flame spread easily. With pearled candles, the pearls help choke the flame when the container is knocked over, making them a smarter option for busy homes with children or animals (with normal candle safety rules still applying, of course).

4. Clean, plant-based wax

Sequoia® uses plant-based wax, free from paraffin, soy and common allergens, and scented versions use non-toxic, phthalate-free and paraben-free fragrances. That means a cleaner burn with minimal smoke or soot and a more comfortable atmosphere at home
