Because Not All Candles Are Created Equal

What makes RECVRD Candle Co. candles different?

We don’t just pour candles—we pour purpose. Every RECVRD candle is handcrafted using upcycled amber beer bottles, giving new life to glass that would otherwise be discarded. That means each candle is one-of-a-kind, sustainable, and eco-conscious from the start.

Why beer bottles?

This part’s personal. I’ve been sober for 9 years—and every candle I make is a quiet (or not-so-quiet) celebration of that journey.

By upcycling amber beer bottles, I’m flipping the script: what once held darkness now holds light.

Each RECVRD candle is a symbol of transformation, recovery, and reclaiming power. It’s a reminder that even what’s been discarded can still shine bright—and so can you.

Why do you use amber beer bottles?

Amber glass isn’t just gorgeous—it’s also practical. It helps protect the candle’s oils from UV damage, ensuring your scent stays fresh and strong. Plus, it’s a quiet flex: saving the planet while smelling amazing.

What kind of wax do you use?

We use 100% natural soy wax, which is:

• Clean-burning (no black soot)

• Long-lasting

• Renewable and biodegradable

• Free of paraffin, petroleum, or dyes

Soy burns cooler and slower than other waxes, giving you more hours of cozy vibes.

What’s the deal with wooden wicks?

Our wooden wicks offer a subtle crackle, like a mini fireside moment every time you light up. Bonus points:

• They create a wide, even melt pool

• Produce less soot than cotton wicks

• Are sustainably sourced

Basically, they’re the glow-up your candle shelf didn’t know it needed.

Are your candles non-toxic?

Absolutely. Our scent blends are:

• Phthalate-free

• Formulated without carcinogens, mutagens, or reproductive toxins

• Made without ingredients listed on California’s Prop 65 list

Translation? You get luxurious, complex aromas—without breathing in any of the nasty stuff.

What kind of scents do you offer?

We’re known for our elevated, intentional blends—think sultry woods, coastal herbs, smoky vanilla, warm citrus. Our goal? To create scents that evoke a feeling, tell a story, or instantly change your mood. No headache-inducing chemicals. Just good energy.

Are your candles handmade?

Yes. Every RECVRD candle is poured by hand in small batches in British Columbia. We’re not into mass production—we’re into craftsmanship, quality, and sustainability.
