Hand-Poured Reusable Soy Candles Made in Montreal
Our reusable soy candles are hand-poured in small batches at our Montreal workshop using 100% natural soy wax, non-toxic fragrances, and lead-free cotton wicks. Each candle comes in a handmade ceramic cup designed to become a lasting part of your home not something you throw away. Available in 11oz, 8oz, 5.5oz, 4oz, and 2oz sizes, all vegan, cruelty-free, and phthalate-free.
Take care of your candle properly for the longest, cleanest burn, and give a second life to your jar when the wax is gone.

Why Choose Soy Wax Candles?
Soy wax is a natural, plant-based alternative to paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum. It burns cleaner producing significantly less soot, so your walls, ceilings, and furniture stay free from black residue. It also burns at a lower temperature, which means your candle lasts up to 30–50% longer than a paraffin candle of the same size.
Every Mimi & August candle is made with biodegradable soy wax, free from synthetic dyes, phthalates, lead, and animal products. Our fragrances are non-toxic and carefully selected to be safe for you, your family, and your pets. Whether you're drawn to fresh florals like our Rosea candle or warm aromas like Cafecito, each fragrance is designed to transform your space. For a flameless option, explore our scented oils and room sprays.
Reusable Candle Jars - Zero Waste by Design
What makes a reusable candle different from a regular candle? The container. Most candles come in jars that end up in the trash. Ours are poured into handmade ceramic cups that are designed for a second life as a coffee mug, a planter for small succulents, a makeup brush holder, or a decorative piece for your shelf. The cup is the product just as much as the candle inside it.
When you're ready for a fresh scent, you don't need to buy a new candle just a refill. Our soy wax candle refills fit perfectly into your original reusable candle cup, giving you the same beautiful burn without the waste. Buy the cup once, refill it as many times as you like. Need help cleaning out old wax? Our candle accessories include ceramic snuffers, wick trimmers, and everything you need to care for your candle properly.
