If you love candles with long burn times, you’ll love this simple tip to get even more life from your Foton Pearled Candle. One of the smartest ways to make your candle last longer is by reusing the melted portion—known as the melt pool—after your burn.

Instead of tossing that melted section, you can crush it up and mix it back into your candle pearls to refresh your candle and keep it glowing beautifully. 

Why Reusing the Melted Part Matters

Traditional wax candles burn down and disappear—you’re left with an empty jar and wasted wax. But Foton Candles are different. Our candle pearls are designed for long-lasting, refillable candles that can be reused over and over again.

By saving and reusing your melt pool, you’re reducing waste, extending your candle’s life, and getting the most out of every wick. It’s a small change that adds up to hours of extra burn time.

Please note that there's also nothing wrong with tossing the melted part if you prefer to make your candle look brand new again in seconds. Our candle pearls are biodegradable and compostable, so you can toss them with a peace of mind. 

How to Reuse the Melted Part of Your Foton Candle

Follow these quick steps to reuse your melt pool and refresh your Foton Pearled Candle:

1. Let your candle cool completely. Once the melted layer hardens, gently lift or scoop it out.

2. Crush the solidified melt pool. Break it into small pieces—this helps it mix more easily with your Foton Pearls.

3. Mix it back in. Sprinkle the crushed pieces evenly into your candle pearls, give your container a gentle shake, and smooth out the surface.

4. Add a new wick and relight. Your candle will look brand new, ready for another long, beautiful burn.

This simple refresh technique helps your candle stay clean, even, and efficient—just one reason why Foton Pearled Candles are some of the best long-burn candles around.

Get the Most from Every Burn

When you reuse your melt pool, you’re extending your Foton glow to the max. The result? A cleaner, more sustainable candle experience that burns longer than traditional wax candles.

With Foton Candle’s refillable design, you can relight, reuse, and reimagine your candle—again and again.
