1 Wood Container + 2 Candles
Choose your scents
What we're made of, and what we're not.
Reusable wood containers, holding 6.5 oz wood-wick candles poured in recyclable aluminum.
What we're made of
- 100% pure soy wax
- Natural, responsibly harvested wood wicks
- The cleanest fragrance oils we could source
- Laser-etched aluminum with welded wick clips
- Natural beech wood, giving every container a unique grain pattern
What we've ditched and avoided
- No paraffin
- No phthalates, parabens, or synthetic dyes
- No carcinogens, mutagens, or reproductive, organ, and acute toxins
- No labels, stickers, or adhesive on the products
- No glue holding the wick clips
- No single-use container waste (unless you don't recycle - but please do)
The burning experience
- You should get 20-25 hours of quality burn time from each candle
- We intentionally chose a lower scent load (4-8% depending on the scent) for a subtle, yet present aroma experience
Tip 1. On the first burn, let the melt pool reach the edge or near before you put it out. That sets the memory for every burn after.
Tip 2. Trim the wick to a quarter inch between burns and dump any debris. You can just use your thumb to break off the charred bits.
Tip 3. You don't have to get all the way through a candle before switching scents. Swap them out any time to fit the mood. Recycle when done.
Swap. Burn. Recycle.
Drop a fresh candle into your reusable wood container whenever you want a different scent.
Clean-burning soy wax, a gentle crackle from the wood wick, and subtle yet present scents that complement, not overpower.
Once your candles are finished, drop them in with your cans to recycle curbside. Aluminum is infinitely recyclable.
Natural Wax & Wood Wicks
Made with 100% soy wax and natural, responsibly harvested wood wicks for a unique burn with a gentle crackle.
Cleaner Fragrance Oils
Our custom formulated fragrances are free of phthalates, parabens, carcinogens, and known toxins.
Label-Free Design
We ditched paper labels, plastic stickers, and toxic glues for laser-etched, welded aluminum that's infinitely recyclable.
Minimizing Waste
Reuse the wood container forever, and recycle the candles when you're done burning them.
Choose a scent to get started
These candles are amazing. The crackle is relaxing, the smells are the best I've ever had in a candle, and they are so, so attractive. These make awesome gifts for people and the feel goods about being kind to the planet is a nice added bonus.
I am so picky about candles. I do not want them too smell too sweet and I want the aroma to spread out across rooms. Sero candles meet both of those criteria and they are so beautiful too. I have found my "rest of my life" candles.
Love these candles. Their scents are unique and subtle, and they burn a long time. I also love the elegant look of the wooden container.
I have ordered 4 starter bundles; 1 for myself and 3 for gifts. They all arrived with intact packaging. The thing most of the recepients loved were the scents and how well the candles burn.
Classy look and lovely scents. Great gifts!
Great to find a eco-responsible supplier of GREAT Candles ! Enjoy the scents and aesthetic. Go Sero!
Burning Questions
Quick answers here. The deeper science lives on the blog.
How does swapping scents work?
Burn a candle down, lift the aluminum out, recycle it with your cans, and drop the next scent in. The container is yours for good.
Can I burn the candles without the container?
Yes. On a heat-safe surface they burn on their own. The container is what makes swapping easy, and it's the part you keep.
Why aluminum instead of glass?
Aluminum recycles with your cans, and recycling it takes about 95% less energy than making it new. Most glass candle jars never make it to recycling: programs differ on whether they take them, and every bit of wax has to come out first.
What if I pick a scent I don't love?
Not the scent for you? Tell us which you'd rather try and we send it, once, on us.
Will the wax look perfectly smooth?
Not always. 100% soy wax has no stabilizers forcing it to set evenly, so you'll see frosting and some variation between batches. A slightly imperfect, natural burn is better than a chemically perfect one.
