Find quick answers to common curiosities.

How does Cērra Sand Candle work?

Simply pour the sand-like wax into any heat-safe bowl or vessel, insert a wick, and light. The wax melts cleanly around the wick, giving you the same warm glow as a traditional candle — but without smoke or soot.

What is Cērra Sand Candle made from?

Cērra Sand Candle is made from 100% plant-based wax that’s non-toxic, eco-friendly, and safe for your home. Our wax is RSPO-certified, meaning it comes from sustainably sourced palm that meets strict standards for protecting forests, wildlife, and local communities. It’s a cleaner choice for your space — and a kinder one for the planet.

Is Cērra Sand Candle safe?

Yes. Cērra Sand Candle is designed with safety in mind. Unlike traditional candles, it’s self-extinguishing if accidentally tipped over, making it a safer choice around kids and pets. The wax is also non-toxic, plant-based, and clean-burning — free from smoke, soot, and harmful chemicals — so you can enjoy candlelight with peace of mind.

Can I reuse the Sand Candle?

Yes — Cērra Sand Candle is completely reusable. Once the flame is out and the wax has cooled, simply break up the meltpool and mix it back into the sand to use again. You can also refill as needed and enjoy it in any heat-resistant bowl, jar, glass, or vessel of your choice.

Does Cērra Sand Candle produce smoke or soot?

No. Cērra Sand Candle is made from 100% plant-based, RSPO-certified wax that burns with a clean, soot-free, and smokeless flame. That means no black marks on your walls or jars, and no harsh smoke in your space — just a calm, beautiful glow.

Can I add essential oils or fragrance?

Yes. Cērra Sand Candle is designed to be customisable. You can add a few drops of your favourite essential or fragrance oil onto the sand around the wick before lighting to create a scent that suits your mood. Change it up anytime — each burn can be a new experience.

How long does the candle wick and sand candle last?

Each Cērra candle wick can burn for up to 12 hours.

A 600g bag of Cērra Sand Candle provides up to 100 hours of burn time, depending on your vessel size, draft environment, and how often you refresh your wicks.
