Constant Candle offers fragranced candle wax refills by post to refill any candle holder. The products, which are all hand-made and hand poured in the UK in small batches, are vegan and cruelty free, as well as being made with premium botanical oils and luxury sustainable rapeseed wax. The refills include scented candle wax to heat and pour at home, lead-free cotton wick and a wooden wick holder together with videos and instructions.
The brand has collaborated with Somerset Ceramics Artist Bridget Hemmings to offer an exclusive range of ‘use forever’ ceramic candle holders created especially for The Constant Candle Company. These handmade and unique vessels are created using porcelain in a range of colours, all with the artist’s signature gold lustre rim and can be refilled with Constant Candle Company was refills time after time. The colours are perfect for any home décor and include Frosty (blue spots); Misty (black speckles); White; Green; Pink; Blue; Yellow and Coral.
Candle wax Refills are £15 each for 200g including cotton wick, wick holder and step-by-step instructions. The Starter Set with the Forever Holder is £35 with a candle wax refill.
Another issue the brand is tackling are the ingredients themselves. Many people are unaware that paraffin wax, which is used in many candles, is a by-product of crude oil, which “basically means you’re burning fossil fuels in your own home” according to the UK Governments Clean Air Strategy guidelines. Many candle fragrances also contain phthalates which have been linked with numerous health concerns.
Constant Candle tackles these concerns with:
A clean burn using eco-friendly luxury rapeseed waxes and non-toxic phthalate-free fragrances that’s better for you, your home and the environment
Cheaper than high street candles with none of the waste or the nasties
Minimal packaging using FSC-certified card boxes and shredded paper, all responsibly sourced, recycled and recyclable
No Plastics
Low carbon footprint, sustainable rapeseed wax from UK manufacturers and fully traceable back to the original manufacturers
The wax can be cleaned up using soap and warm water so all containers can be washed and put into recycling

The vegan, cruelty free wax tablets have been lovingly handcrafted and are created to be hung as Christmas decorations to gently scent the house and the wax tablets can then be used throughout the year to hang in wardrobes, small rooms such as bathrooms and even linen cupboards to scent the home, textiles and clothes.

Constant Candle Launch The First Sustainable Luxury Heat and Pour Scented Candle Wax - The end of 'burn & bin' single use scented candles
The Constant Candle Company launches to save the planet - one refilled candle holder at a time
Sustainable scented candle wax ready to pour into a candle holder of your choice or with bespoke reusable ‘Forever holder’ created by Somerset Ceramics Artist Bridget Hemmings
• UK start-up offers high-quality and affordable candle wax refills by post
• Vegan rapeseed wax is also cruelty, paraffin and toxin free
• Just heat and pour to refill any designer candle pot with a range of fragrances • Made and hand poured in the UK
Constant Candle Company has launched to offer fragranced candle wax refills by post to refill any candle holder - the first of its kind.
With its vegan, rapeseed wax refills – each infused with a luxurious blend of oils – the Constant Candle Company offers an alternative to ‘burn and bin’ scented candles in single- use holders. For those who want to scent their homes sustainably, the brand’s scented wax refills can be used to top up a favourite candle holder, and each wax blend is supplied in eco-friendly, recyclable packaging, in line with the company’s ethos to ‘refill, reuse and recycle’.
Constant Candle supplies everything you need to create a new candle in an existing candle holder direct to your door in the post – pre fragranced candle wax to heat and pour at home, lead-free cotton wick and a wooden wick holder together with videos and instructions.
The brand was born when founders and friends Rachael Clark and Nicky Hoad grew frustrated that replacing a scented candle meant buying a new candle with a brand-new candle holder, something that struck them as hugely wasteful. That’s why Constant Candle came up with the idea of refilling any of your existing candle holders – one of the best alternatives to recycled glass is simply reusing glass in its current form. If you can rinse and refill a container, that saves 100% of the energy taken to recycle it. https://www.forgerecycling.co.uk/blog/is-glass-harmful-to-the-environment/
The brand has also teamed up with Somerset Ceramics Artist Bridget Hemmings to offer an exclusive range of ‘use forever’ ceramic candle holders created especially for The Constant Candle Company. These handmade and unique vessels are created using porcelain in a range of colours, all with the artist’s signature gold lustre rim and can be refilled with Constant Candle Company was refills time after time.
The products, which are all hand-made and hand poured in the UK, are vegan and cruelty free, as well as being made with premium fragrance and essential oils and a luxury rapeseed blend wax.
From the 100% recyclable packaging to the candle wicks supplied with every refill, these innovative products have been designed with zero-waste in mind. Even the brand’s distinctive circular logo references the circular economy.

Wax made from sustainable rapeseed and soy wax blend from UK manufacturers and fully traceable back to the original manufacturers
The wax can be cleaned up using soap and warm water so all containers including tealights can be washed and put into recycling.
Fragrances include the loud and proud Tuberose, prized for its seductive, honeyed notes; Our delectable garden scent Nostalgia with hints of rhubarb, pear and apple; Fête, a warm Madagascan vanilla with blackcurrant; the exotic and fruity Boho, an oriental orange and mandarin with Italian bergamot; the delicate English floral Soleil; Notte, an exotic blend of citrus zest and spicy cedarwood; and our 100% Essential Oil Blend Balance with lemony, spicy, hints of cinnamon and ginger.
Co-founder Rachael, who is a Photographic Director at Hearst Magazines said, “Like so many of us, I had accumulated a collection of beautiful candle pots - but without a way to refill them, they became little more than clutter. We actively want you to buy less rather than more from us so we can save you money while we also help save the planet”
Nicky, whose background as a florist has shaped the scents of the products, added: “When we dug into the facts about the environmental and health effects of badly made candles it made us set on finding a solution. We had to rethink everything to make the first truly sustainable zero-to-waste candle – from the stickers normally used to attach the wick to the glass to the candle safety labels which are usually made from unrecyclable plastic and effect your ability to recycle the glass.”
Candle wax Refills are £15 each for 200g
The Starter Set with the Forever Holder is £33 with a candle wax refill

Fragrances:
Tuberose loud and proud
Prized for its seductive, honeyed notes, nothing rivals this intensely rich perfume. We have underlined it with a faint saltiness, added sweet beeswax. Pure luxury.
Nostalgia sweet green
Our delectable garden scent will lure you back to a calmer, more innocent time: clean, invigorating hints of rhubarb, pear and apple, spiced with swirls of caramelized sugar, finished with verdant mint. Cool as a misty morning.
Fête warm Madagascan vanilla
Think crème brulée topped with tangy blackcurrant. This skilful mix also gifts you bergamot and mandarin balanced with jasmine and rose. Smells like perfect sunny afternoons.
Boho exotic and fruity
Oriental orange and mandarin with Italian bergamot layered over rich dry woods, powdery dark amber and the sleepy warmth of musk, of two beneath a duvet. Intimate and sensual. Soleil delicate English floral
Geranium flowers and leaves blended with soft rose are grounded with the peppery spiciness of juniper berries. Evokes flowering fields.
Notte musk and citrus
An exotic blend of citrus zest and spicy cedarwood warms to reveal a shimmering heart note of tropical blue agave flower, giving way to aromatic cinnamon and mysterious musk. Essential for exotic evenings.
Balance Lemony, spicy, hints of cinnamon and ginger
In these challenging times, our restorative blend of 100% Essential Oils promises to enhance your joy in living.
A deliciously citrusy aroma with earthy undertones, lemongrass oil relieves stress and calms with eugenol, which helps relieve headaches and raises levels of serotonin – the happiness hormone. Fragrant geranium oil, valued for centuries, harmonises and restores, wards off physical and mental exhaustion. Our final powerful oil, Litsea Cubeba, is a spicy-sweet aromatic from the fruit of the mountain pepper tree used in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for thousands of years. It addresses symptoms of asthma, backpain, digestive problems and fatigue. An added bonus - the protective antiseptic and antimicrobial properties of Litsea Cubeba oil means its vapour combats infection from colds, coughs, flu.
Our therapeutic candle promotes perfect unity of mind, body and spirit.
