{"product_id":"unfragranced-candle-sand-white-300g","title":"Unfragranced Candle Sand - White - 300g","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 300 g pouch of white candle sand from Britain, made for moments when you want light without competing scent. Pour it into a bowl or shallow dish, nestle a wick in the centre, and you have a soft, steady flame that lets the room's other notes, dinner on the table, a perfume you're wearing, flowers in a vase, breathe undisturbed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eThe light it gives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe flame burns clean and quiet, with no added fragrance to layer over food or fill the air.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eYou shape the candle yourself: pour the sand into any heat-proof vessel, press a cotton wick into the centre, and light it.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe sand stays loose and cool to the touch beyond the small pool of melted wax around the wick, so the vessel itself doesn't heat through.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIt suits dining tables, kitchen counters, or celebrations where scent would intrude, a christening tea, a Shabbat dinner, a quiet supper where the food is the star.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat candle sand is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCandle sand is granulated wax, tiny grains that pour and settle like fine sugar. You use it by filling a shallow dish or bowl (ceramic, glass, metal, anything that won't scorch) to a depth of about two to three centimetres, standing a wick upright in the centre, and lighting it as you would any candle. The wax melts only in a small circle around the flame; the rest of the sand stays granular and reusable. When the wick burns down, let it cool, pour the sand back into the pouch, and start again with a fresh wick.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePour the sand into a clean, heat-resistant dish with a flat base and low sides, a shallow ceramic bowl, a saucer, a small metal tray. Press a cotton wick (not included) into the centre so it stands upright, leaving about a centimetre showing above the surface. Light the wick and let it burn as long as you like; the wax melts in a pool around the flame but the sand beyond stays cool. Trim the wick to about 5 mm before each use, keep the burning candle on a stable surface away from draughts and flammable objects, and never leave it unattended. When you're done, let the sand cool completely, pour it back into the pouch, and save it for next time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eMade in Britain\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis candle sand is produced in the UK. The white colour is clean and neutral, suiting any table setting or room without drawing attention to itself, the point is the light, not the object.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSize and what you'll need\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pouch contains 300 g of white candle sand, enough to fill a medium shallow bowl or several smaller dishes. Cotton wicks are sold separately; you'll need one per lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eA practical gift\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a thoughtful present for someone who entertains often, who lights candles at the dinner table, or who prefers unscented light in a home already layered with other fragrances. The reusability and the freedom to choose your own vessel tend to make it a kept thing rather than a single-use gift.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I add my own fragrance to it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYou can, though it's designed to be used as is. A drop or two of essential oil stirred through before pouring will scent the sand lightly, but test a small amount first to check the oil doesn't affect the burn.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many times can I reuse the sand?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAs long as you pour it back into the pouch after each use and keep it clean, the sand can be relit many times over. Only the wax immediately around the wick melts and then re-solidifies; the rest stays granular.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat kind of wick should I use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA standard cotton candle wick, the sort sold for making pillar or container candles, works well. Choose a wick height that suits the depth of your dish, leaving about a centimetre showing above the sand surface.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHAMTAM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54033611784506,"sku":"CSand-11","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/8307\/0266\/files\/bG9jYWw6Ly9tZWRpYS9IUy9BQy82MFIzMEMxSjZNVDNBQ0hTLzc0NjUwMDM3LmpwZw.png?v=1789798115","url":"https:\/\/shamtam.com\/products\/unfragranced-candle-sand-white-300g","provider":"SHAMTAM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
