For People – You enjoy a natural, clean-burning candle and your purchase helps provide an upcycled candle to a domestic violence survivor setting up a new home.

For Planet - Every candle container is reused or upcycled, keeping them out of landfill and reducing waste.

1. You Buy – Choose from our range of 100% natural soy candles.

2. Return & Swap – When your CandleXchange candle is finished, return the container to us for a refill and enjoy a 30% discount on your next one.

3. We Upcycle – Through our UpCandle program, we also collect and reuse containers from other brands, extending the life of these vessels instead of sending them to landfill.

4. We Donate – At least 50% of profits from CandleXchange sales fund the creation and donation of upcycled candles for survivors via community partners like ReLove.

When you buy a CandleXchange candle:

You get a product eligible for our Return & Swap program, reducing waste and saving you money.

You help fund the UpCandle program, which upcycles containers from other brands to create candles for donation.

The size of your contribution depends on where you shop — whether you’re buying direct from us, online, through a corporate gift, or from one of our retailer partners, every purchase plays a part in funding the UpCandle program.

No matter how you shop, your candle helps light someone else’s home and keep containers out of landfill.

This means we exist not just to sell candles, but to deliver measurable social and environmental impact.

At least 50% of our profits are reinvested into our mission — from funding our UpCandle program to donating upcycled candles to domestic violence survivors, and reducing waste through our Return & Swap reuse system.

Being certified gives our customers and partners confidence that every purchase directly supports people and planet, with our impact independently verified against strict social enterprise standards.
