Hinoki Bastu Candle Refill Kit
$29.00
Siblings is a artisan and USA-made, all-natural fragrance and candle brand rooted in sustainability—creating products designed to be biodegradable or fully recyclable. Each scent is crafted with a story in mind, built in layered notes that complement one another and are meant to transport you—evoking a specific place, memory, or feeling.
WHY WE LOVE IT:
This candle refill smells like a Japanese forest.
Most candles are a one-and-done situation: you burn them, love them, and then you’re left with an empty jar you feel guilty tossing (or you keep it forever “to reuse later”). The Siblings Candle Refill Kit in Hinoki Bāstu is the first candle product I’ve used that actually solves that problem in a way that feels easy, elevated, and genuinely satisfying.
Instead of buying a whole new candle every time, this is a candle refill—designed so you can keep using the vessel you already love, again and again, with the same signature scent.
If you love the fragrance and quality of Diptyque, this is the perfect brand for you -- they have the same quality, and fragrance load. But the fact this is made of 100% coconut and soy wax and in the USA, just makes this so much better.
What it is: a candle refill, not a new candle
Here’s what comes in the kit:
- a bag of fragranced wax
- a wooden wick
- a wick holder
That’s it—simple, minimal, and intentionally designed to turn any candle jar into your candle jar.
How it works (it’s easier than it sounds)
I expected this to feel like a craft project. It doesn’t. It’s basically a two-step pour.
-
Melt the wax
You can do this two ways:
- Microwave method: melt the wax in the microwave (in a microwave-safe container)
- Boil-in-water method: place the bag in hot water in a pot until the wax melts
- Prep your vessel + pour
- Place the wooden wick into your candle vessel of choice first
- Once the wax is fully melted, pour it into the vessel
- Let it set, then light it—and you’ve got your favorite candle back, in your favorite jar
The best part is the repeatability. When you finish the candle, you don’t have to start over with a new container—you just refill and keep going.
Why I love it: it’s sustainable without feeling “crunchy”
This is the kind of sustainability I actually stick with because it’s practical and beautiful. You’re not compromising on aesthetic (you get to keep your favorite vessel), and you’re not creating unnecessary waste every time you want a fresh candle.
Even better: the candle kit bag is biodegradable, which makes the whole refill concept feel even more intentional.
Clean ingredients + made in the USA
Another reason I felt good about using it: Siblings keeps it clean and straightforward.
- Biodegradable wax
- All-natural ingredients
- Made in the USA
It has that “better-for-your-home” feel—like you’re choosing something more thoughtful without sacrificing the luxury candle experience.
The scent: Hinoki Bāstu (spa-level, woodsy calm)
Hinoki Bāstu is that clean, grounding, sauna-in-the-forest scent—woodsy and calming. It makes a room feel instantly more serene, like you just checked into a boutique hotel with excellent taste.
Final verdict
The Siblings Candle Refill Kit is one of those products that makes you wonder why all candles aren’t made this way. You get the ritual and the fragrance you love, but you also get to reuse your favorite vessel again and again—without waste, without clutter, and without sacrificing style.
If you want, tell me what kind of vessel you’re recommending on your blog (glass jar, ceramic, vintage, etc.) and I’ll add a quick “best vessels to use + safety notes” section to round out the post.
