I tried the top refillable nontoxic candle brands to find the best ones. If you’re looking for a no-fuss, eco-friendly way to burn candles, I highly recommend getting a refillable candle. They save a ton of money, minimize waste and you can re-use your favorite vessel, literally forever. This review compares NOTES, Everly, Siblings, Foton, Refill Candle Co and Phoenix Wick.

The best refillable candles will be free from parabens, phthalates, sulfates and harsh chemicals. Here’s the full list of all the refillable non toxic candles I could find that are available today:

• NOTES
• Foton
• Arbor Made
• Everly
• Siblings
• Pheonix Wick
• ATMO
• Meaningful Mantras (Kaia collection)

I love clean candle refill kits because I can forever reuse my favorite vessels and try out new scents. I’m partial to using luxury brands’ vessels like Diptyque, Buly 1802 and Thompson Ferrier so I can enjoy the luxe aesthetic without the toxins.

A Note on Candle Fragrance

Keep in mind when reading that almost all of these brands use fragrance oils to scent their candles. After researching I found that the ONLY refillable non toxic candle brand that uses 100% natural fragrance (essential oils) is Meaningful Mantras.

I tried Foton Pearled Candle

Foton is different from all the other refill candle kits I’ve tried so far. it’s a pearled wax system, tiny plant-based wax beads you pour into any container of your choice with NO melting or microwave required. Each 18oz refill kit comes with very short cotton wicks (30 in total), which is suited for very shallow decorative candles. I prefer traditional candles so I use my own normal length wicks I got from Amazon. Unless you already have a shallow vessel in mind, you’ll need to get longer wicks separately.

The wax is vegan and sustainably sourced, and the fragrance oils are IFRA-compliant and free of phthalates and parabens, or you can go with their unscented version for a totally clean burning candle. They also come with more product so I’m able to fill two almost three normal sized jars with their 18oz container Interestingly the pearls even float on water, so you can get super creative. Foton is the only candle refill brand that offers up to 144oz jumbo sized refills. The downside is if you catch any stray pearls randomly, you might freak out for a second because they look like eggs.

Price: $39.99 for 18oz | $99 for 64oz | $199 for 144oz

I Tried Everly Candle Refill Kit

Everly Candle Refill Kits are made with a 100% natural blend of soy and coconut wax (NO paraffin) and the scent is a blend of essential oils and clean fragrance oils. Everly is run by a mom and daughter duo who are on a mission to create the most sustainable and clean candle kits out there. I found this sooo easy to use, even for a total noob. It only takes all but a couple minutes to make! The kit comes in a bag made of 60% compostable materials with the wax, wick, wick stabilizer and card. Once you remove the supplies (except the wax of course), you simply pop it into the microwave to melt the wax. I tried a couple of their scents and my favorite is Suenos. I love this delicious gourmand scent of marshmallow, tobacco, cashmere and vetiver. It’s so so yummy, warm and cozy.

Price: $26
Size: 10 oz
Wax: Soy and coconut wax

I tried Siblings Candles

I recently tried out a couple of Siblings candle scents and found their kit to be super easy to use. I just pop the bag in the microwave just like with Everly candles and pour the liquid into my empty vessel. 05 with clove, lavender and cedarwood is a woodsy lavender scent that’s so grounding and calming before bed. 01 with bergamot, white rose, and oak moss is an elegant rose scent that I like to use to scent my living room, especially when I have guests coming over. I find the scent throw to be medium to strong.

Price: $29
Size: 10 oz
Wax: Coconut wax and soy wax

I tried Pheonix Wick Candle Making Kit

This is the most affordable soy wax candle refill I’ve found on Amazon. They also have the most variety of scents to choose from. Phoenix Wick makes generously-sized 14 oz bags made with 100% soy wax and premium fragrance oils. These are perfect for larger candles or if you’d like to make two regular sized 7 oz candles, making each one less than $13. I love how there’s tons of cozy winter scents to choose from and I find them to have very strong scent throw.

Price: $25
Size: 14 oz
Wax: 100% Soy wax

I tried Notes Candle Refill Kit

The Notes Candle Refill Kit are made with 100% natural waxes like soy, rice bran and beeswax. Notes is a little different from the rest of the candlemaking brands in this list – it has wax beads that you do not microwave. Instead you simply pour the beads into your candle. There’s a little bit of effort required, because you need to pack down the beads as much as possible so it burns evenly. Notes uses non-toxic fragrance oils, so these will have a strong scent throw. I looove their gorgeous minimalistic white vessel but find the beads to be annoying to use honestly.

Price: $25
Size: 14 oz
Wax: 100% natural blend of rice bran, and beeswax

Pre-Poured Refillable Candles You Can Pop In

ATMO, Meaningful Mantras and ReCandle Co refillable candles are different in that the refill comes pre-poured as a solid insert. So there’s no having to melt any wax and use a wick. It comes pre-made so you can just pop it into the vessel and use it right away.

I Tried ReCandle Co White Eucalyptus

ReCandle Co makes pre-poured inserts you simply pop in to your vessel — no melting wax, no fussing with a wick, no microwave and none of the usual refill-kit mess. Lazy girl approved. They use 100% soy wax, lead- and zinc-free cotton wicks along with fragrance oils without phthalates. They also plant a mangrove tree in Madagascar with every order. White Eucalyptus is a refreshing spa-like scent and Lavender is a pure, linear lavender scent. The scent throw is decent – present but not overpowering and can fill up a small living room or larger bedroom. I love the calming look of their hand-thrown ceramic vessel!

Best Candle Vessels I’d Want to Refill Forever

These are the vessels I’d actually want to refill forever. I love unique candle jars that are far from your basic glass jar. These vessels are stunning decor pieces that make a statement on their own. The super large ones are great peace of mind candle holders to place any standard size candle inside for an extra safety measure.

• 1986 Black Marble Candle (these are at the Four Seasons)
• Literally any Diptyque jar
• Thompson Ferrier (it’s giving chic upper East Side)
• Home No. 26 in Oro Soleil Marble Vessel (use OBL10)
• BLUEME Ceramic Candle
• Vyrao Black Ember Candle
