About the scents...
Foton candles have a medium to mild scent throw as they're often used for large centerpieces. If you're looking for a strong scented candle, Foton may not be right for you.
Please note all of our colored versions currently only come unscented, but you can add your own scent to them.
What about the wicks?
Plenty of wicks are included with every Foton candle. Foton samples are too small to safely burn, therefore no wicks are included. Each wick burns around 12 hours, just make sure to insert the wick all the way into the pearls to maximize the burn time. You can relight the same wick or replace it between uses if you want to refresh your candle.
Safe for pets
Our pearls are plant-based, clean-burning, and pet-friendly. We still recommend keeping them out of reach of pets since they’re technically not edible and burning with real fire, but you'll be glad to know the pearls are non-toxic and not expected to be harmful if a small amount is ingested.
Do they float?
All of our white pearls float on water while our colored products are NOT suitable for floating candles. We recommend pouring at least a 2" height of white pearls on top of water and making sure the bottom of the wick is not touching the water.
A perfect addition to any room in your home is Foton Candle. Its super unique design is so customizable, you won’t know how you ever lived without it!
The candle burned very cleanly, with no whiff of smoke or soot.
Foton uses the tiniest wax beads to create the pearled candle that can be poured in almost any container. Use it as snow for your Christmas village, put it in an oyster shell, or reuse an old candle jar you love!
It’s definitely one of the most unique options out there, and a great one if you love candles but want to be a little more unexpected.
I LOVE THESE CANDLES!!
So beautiful! Convenient, pretty, functional, and CUSTOMIZABLE!!! Plus they smell amazing. I love that I can put the candles in beautiful containers and change it whenever I want to fit my mood or aesthetic! I'm hooked!

Nice subtle scent
Scents were nice and very subtle. They are listed as not having a strong scent, so this is what I expected. Helped to make my decision for what to purchase in bulk!
- Kelyn Ewoldt
Seriously obsessed
I love to support family owned businesses(even more so when from Arkansas), sustainability of the products and being able to reduce waste, candles, not overly scented, non-toxic, paraffin-free and burns cleanly! Plus I always complained about the candles being ugly after you would light them..but no longer with this!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
We offer both unscented and various scented versions in the white color only. You can see all the scent descriptions in one of the images and in the drop-down menu above. Please note all of our colored versions currently only come unscented, but you can add your own scent to them by adding essential or candle fragrance oils close to the wick before lighting it.
-
Nope, you can relight the same wick multiple times and burn it as long as it lasts. Each wick can burn around 12 hours. That said, we give you plenty of wicks with every Foton so you could refresh your candle as often as you'd like to make it look new again.
You can also cut the wick and re-use the part that hasn't been used yet, or flip the wick to bury the melt pool for zero waste while still making your candle look brand new. Keep in mind cutting the wick will shorten the burn time.
-
Wicks are not included with Foton Scent or Color Samples because our samples are too small to safely burn. The samples are intended to smell the scent options and see the color in person to help decide which candle to buy.

First, I should note that when I received this vessel it was smashed into pieces. However, a quick message to the manufacturer and they had a replacement mailed to my home within hours that I got a couple days later.
As to the vessel itself, I had some doubts about how much I would or would not like this product, and I was wrong to have doubts. It is absolutely beautiful and an outstanding addition to our living room.
J
Wasn’t sure what I was signing up for, both the vessel and scented wax beads are an impressive addition to my house.
M
Great quality, much larger than I thought but appropriate for the large bag size. Will get lots of use out of 1 bag.
S
The vessel makes a great decorative addition to my living room space.

Your company failed to deliver the product together and on time. After we settled that concern when it did show up, it showed up broken and in pieces. The person I gifted it to said the packaging was poor and over quality of vessel was poor. I reached out to someone for customer service twice, no response. I then had to find another way to contact someone. The response I was given gave zero accountability from your company on the product and delivery. They shifted the blame to the courier. I spent over $300 between orders from myself and my partner. I was not satisfied with my refund and I would have appreciated more accountability and a full refund for not just the vessel that showed up late and in pieces but for the entire order. I will never order from your company again and I am angry I let social media influence me into thinking that this was a good idea to gift someone around the holidays. I will be sure to tell anyone at any chance I get how awful your company and products are.
Hello Maggie,
Heidi here, one of the founders of Foton. I would like to personally address your concerns. I've reviewed your case closely as we take customer feedback seriously and always appreciate the learning opportunities.
First of all, thank you for giving our products a try and so sorry you were not satisfied. I'd like to first address the fulfillment delays. We did experience fulfillment delays of up to a week between Black Friday up until Christmas. Our small business experienced much higher than expected order volumes during Black Friday-Cyber Monday, followed by a video going viral, and we were not able to maintain our normal 24-hour fulfillment promise. We tried to communicate the delays clearly by several emails as well as by placing banners and warnings in multiple places of the website stating that orders placed after December 9th would likely not arrive until after Christmas. Looks like both of your orders placed on December 9th did arrive a few days before Christmas.
We also apologize for the broken vessel. We do our best to protect items during shipping, but unfortunately items still break during shipping. The vessels are handmade in the USA by our partner company specializing on concrete vessels, also a small family business. We have offered a full refund for the vessel and if you wish to return the rest of your order for a full refund, we'd be happy to help process that as well.
As for the customer service, as far as I've been able to see, you first wrote an e-mail to us at 10:22pm on the evening of Christmas Day, Dec 25th. Our team took a well-deserved day off for Christmas to spend time with our families, and we were working hard to get back to all the people writing to us after the holidays. Unfortunately we did not get to your message the day after Christmas, but responded first thing in the morning on 12/27, which is within 9 business hours. Again, I'm sorry you were not fully satisfied but please know we're working hard trying to deliver the best possible products and offer the best service. We will contact you again privately to see if you wish to proceed with a return for a full refund. All the best, Heidi & Team Foton
