Luxury that lives beyond the flame.
At Aura & Amity™, every candle is designed as part of a ritual — from the first light to the final flicker. But what happens after your soy candle has completely burned down?Instead of tossing the jar, consider this: your candle vessel was chosen intentionally — amber glass, frosted finishes, bamboo lids — all timeless, reusable, and beautiful. Reusing your jar is not only sustainable, it extends the experience of mindful living.
Here’s how to clean and repurpose your candle jar with ease:
Step 1: Remove Remaining Wax (The Right Way)Because Aura & Amity candles are made with natural soy wax, cleanup is simple.
Freezer Method (Best for Soy Wax
Place the jar in the freezer for 2–3 hours.
The wax will shrink and pop out easily with a butter knife.
Remove the wick tab from the base.
Hot Water Method
Pour hot (not boiling) water into the jar.
Let sit until remaining wax floats to the top.
Remove wax once cooled.Wipe clean with warm soapy water and allow to fully dry.
Pro Tip: Never pour wax down the drain — dispose of it in the trash once hardened.
Step 2: Remove the Label (If Desired)If you prefer a clean glass aesthetic:
Soak the jar in warm water with a little baking soda.
Peel gently.
Remove residue with rubbing alcohol or a bit of coconut oil.Or — keep the label on for that signature Aura & Amity look.
