Foton Candle pearls are plant-based, vegan, and burn cleanly with minimal smoke or soot. Our pearls are derived from certified sustainably sourced and highly purified plant-based wax. They do not contain paraffin, soy or any known allergens. We use both natural and synthetic fragrances to scent our scented versions. Our scents are free of phthalates and parabens.

LAZY LULU - Tropical Flowers. Smells like a lazy day on Honolulu beach.
TAILORED TUX - Masculine & Sophisticated. Smells like your boyfriend's hoodie.
MISTY MONTE - Sandalwood & Jasmine. Smells like a luxury hotel lobby.
BREEZY BLANKET - Line-dried Laundry. Smells like a nap in a hammock.

LAVENDER LOVE - Pure Lavender. Soothing floral fragrance with crisp notes of fresh lavender.
MULLED MAGIC - Berries & Cinnamon. Smells like a cozy fall evening.

The burn time varies greatly based on how it's used. Are you using 1 or more wicks at a time? Do you relight the same wick or replace it to refresh your candle? How long do you burn your candle before refreshing it?
That said, Foton burns slower than normal candles and our 18 oz candle provides up to 120 hours of burn time, longer than most candles. Our 64 oz candle provides up to 400 hours of burn time and 144 oz candle up to 960 hours of burn time.

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 (except limited edition products) 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. Each standard Foton 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!

Like New Every Time!
I like to burn candles in my home but as soon as you light one, it looks ‘used’. It looks messy and hardly ever burns evenly. I love this new concept. You burn the candle, discard the melted core and your candle looks perfect again ready for the next event.

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.
-
Yes, just choose one of our Scent Free products and add a few drops of your favorite essential oil or candle fragrance oil close to the wick BEFORE lighting it. Please do so at your own risk and comfort level, keeping in mind oils are very flammable and should never be added to a burning candle. You'll find that some oils work better than others, so experiment carefully until you find some that work for you. It is the user’s responsibility for all modifications made to the candles.
-
Fireproof containers are recommended, but it's possible to also use other containers safely as long as they're big enough. The key is to prevent the melt pool from reaching the container edge and to keep the container from heating up while burning. Generally, that means 4" minimum container width at the narrowest part for a single wick but test it carefully and make sure the container is not heating up while burning.

I bought two as gifts for my mom and best friend and loved them so much when I opened to pack that I had to get another for myself!! They make the perfect gifts and they are so fun to dress up and make patterns out of the pearls. These will be my go-to gifts from now on! Very worth it!
K
They are really beautiful and give my home a nice scent. I will be purchasing more!

I just started using my Foton candle today. It smells good but is not overwhelming. I like that I can reuse a container with Foron and looking forward to continuing to burn it.

We have purchased a couple of these over the past 6 months or so and it has become our favorite candle that my wife uses regularly. They look cool, they burn well, smell great, and they are a great conversation piece for when people come over. Everyone always asks how we are burning sand! So far the large wooden wick is our favorite one because of the size of the flame (which you can see in the photo). As a bonus, our son loves to take the used solid wax and help grind it all up so we can reuse it.
