These candles make thoughtful gifts that tell a story of creativity and sustainability, or serve as conversation pieces that bring both light and beauty to your space.

Artist/Maker, Process & Materials:

This candle is hand-crafted in the US by the Conscious Assembly team under the Constance Wilde label. Created through an innovative recycling process that embodies our circular design principles, we collect leftover candle wax, clean and filter it, then blend it with organic soy wax and essential oils to create unique scents. Each decorative container features a hand-created collage using rescued paper materials, showcasing original poetry that gives new life to items that would otherwise be discarded. Our process includes a return program for empty containers and used wax, creating a closed-loop system that minimizes waste while maximizing creativity.

Care:

To enjoy your hand-crafted candle safely and extend its life: Trim wick to ¼ inch before each lighting, Allow the top layer to melt completely across the surface on first burn to prevent tunneling, Never leave a burning candle unattended, Keep away from drafts, flammable objects, children, and pets, Discontinue use when ½ inch of wax remains, Save your container and remaining wax to return for store credit through our recycling program, or, the container can be repurposed as home décor after the candle is finished.

Impact:

This candle embodies circular design principles through its use of recycled materials and our container return program. By transforming discarded wax and paper into new products, we prevent waste from entering landfills while creating items of beauty and function. Your purchase supports creative approaches to waste reduction and circular economy initiatives that reimagine how products are made, used, and reused.
