FAQS
All our candles are made with 100% soy wax flakes and we use natural high grade fragrance oils. Our wicks are made from pure long strand ring spun cotton and paper.
All of the ingredients we use are cruelty free and are suitable for vegans.
There are many benefits to burning soy wax candles and we have listed just a few below:
-
Soy wax is a vegetable wax, which is entirely natural, whereas paraffin wax is derived from petroleum.
-
Soy wax is biodegradable and can be cleaned with just soap and water, meaning your candle containers can be reused.
-
It is a natural, renewable resource that does not rely on the use of crude oil. It is largely produced in the UK and Europe so does not have to travel as far as other waxes.
-
It has a lower melting point meaning that it will burn slower and last longer than paraffin wax, giving you better value for your money.
-
It is is clean burning, meaning that it will not release toxins, carcinogens or pollutants and is less likely to flare up allergies.
-
Soy wax burns with zero petrol-soot carbon, unlike paraffin candles, meaning no black marks.
