Candle tins are a great alternative (or complement) to traditional glass candle containers. Ours have a really nice finish and include snug fitting lids. These are great for gift sets, themed sets, giveaways, and more. Also available in 2 oz, 4 oz, and 8 oz tins.

CandleScience tins are made from steel and are safe and easy to use, thanks to:

  • Raised Safety Feet that keep surfaces cool, and candle burners happy!
  • Wick Tab Outline that makes wicking a breeze.
Protective Varnish Coating

Our candle tins have a varnish coating on the inside of the tin to help protect the metal from discoloring. Keep in mind that aroma components like citrus oils, cinnamon oil, and vanillin in fragrance oils can still cause the color of the tin to shift, particularly at higher fragrances loads.

Slightly flimsy
Kalidava 2025-12-21

They are a little flimsy, one arrived dented and I also dented one I dropped. They have that lid suction issue others have mentioned, but it wasn't as hard to open as the 8oz tins. The size is great and they haven't overheated in my tests. So far Golden 464 with CD 18 and CD 12 wicks both worked. The #12 seems to be the best size for my purposes. The only discoloration I got was on a particular raspberry fragrance oil that has a fairly high vanillin content. No issues so far with the citrus fragrance or one of the blends that has a fair amount of vanilla in it even though that one was flagged as causing discoloration frequently.

Love these
Val 2022-09-17

They work so well for sample fragrances. At craft shows I price them lower than my larger jars and people buy several of different fragrances for gifts or for themselves.

Perfect
Kenna B. 2022-06-12

I love these they are perfect and the only tins I have been able to find with little feet. The only downside is how long they have been out of stock. I fear I will only have 1 scent in 6 oz and 0 8oz by the time of my craft fair. I would go with another brand but these are the best plus the ability to pick up your order is why I love this company.

Love!

Absolutely love these little tins! They are easier to work with, in my opinion, than glass for a beginner like me. I hope they come in other colors like black, gold, rose gold, copper, etc. one day which would allow for more creativity and use in more luxury lines!
