Enjoy every purchase with total confidence. see plan termsA Second Life was created from a love of vintage objects and the stories they carry. Each candle is hand poured into a carefully sourced vessels; pieces that were once part of everyday life and are now given a new purpose.
What makes these candles different is what happens after they burn. The vessel doesn’t get thrown away, it becomes something new again. A small bowl, a planter, a keepsake. Something you continue to live with.
Every piece is one of a kind, thoughtfully selected for its character, shape, and history. No two are exactly the same, which means each one you bring home is uniquely yours.
By choosing A Second Life, you’re not just buying a candle, you’re choosing something made with intention, sustainability, and the belief that beautiful objects deserve more than one story.
What type of wax do you use?
We use 100% natural soy wax for all of our candles. It's eco-friendly, burns clean, and provides a longer lasting, even burn.
How do I remove the wax from the vessel?
When it comes to cleaning out candle wax from your vessel, there are a few methods that do the trick, but here are two refreshingly easy ones: The freezer method: Place the jar in your freezer overnight. The wax will freeze and peel off the sides of the jar. After the night (or a few hours depending on the amount of wax), you can remove the jar and remove the wax very easily with a knife. Wash the rest away to give it a new life! Hot water method: This is a tip we recommend for vessels made with a thick glass or material (too thin, there is a risk that the thin glass will shatter). Boil water in a saucepan Then pour this boiling water into the candle jar. Only fill the jar halfway as the wax will rise to the surface on its own Let stand until the water is cold and the wax is on the surface Remove the wax and clean the jar
