Our candles use a plant-based blend of rapeseed and coconut wax, with no paraffin. Paraffin is derived from petroleum and releases compounds such as toluene and benzene when burned, which is why we leave it out. Our blend burns cleaner and slower, with lower soot output and better scent throw. The rapeseed is grown in Europe, which keeps transport emissions low, and coconut is a high-yield crop that grows without heavy pesticides or deforestation. All our scents are paraben-free and cruelty-free.
