Why is pure soy wax better than other candle waxes?

Pure soy wax is derived from soybeans which are a natural, renewable source grown in many regions by organic farmers. Pure soy wax provides a cleaner burn as it doesn’t contain paraffin waxes which are extracts of petroleum and are derived from petrochemicals. Pure Soy Wax is – 100% Plant-Based! All Natural! Sustainable, Renewable and Biodegradable! Free of animal testing! Free of petroleum products! Free of animal products! Free of insect products! Free of palm oil! The Manufacturing Process of pure soy wax is designed to purify the wax, ensuring the removal of any potentially present pesticides, herbicides, or Genetically Modified Materials (GMM)*.

What is the difference between essential oil candles and fragranced candles?

Pure essential oils provide you with a clean, natural aroma that elicits a response as they contain natural elements that trigger the release of endorphins in the brain. This in turn causes a positive (or negative, depending on your emotional connection) emotional response which may have benefits such as calming your nervous system, relax or energises your senses to enhance your health and wellness. We also use soy wax as it has a lower melt point (unlike paraffin wax) which works well with essential oils because they require a lower melt point to keep their qualities and to ensure a good scent throw. Fragrance scents are manufactured aromas, which means they have been chemically altered from their original plant extracts to create scents in the way perfume is created. Synthetic fragrances are often the selected choice as these aromas tend to have a wider throw and stronger burn aroma. We are so proud to not have artificial or synthetic fragrance in our candles and instead have 100% pure essential oils for you to enjoy.

Are refills available for candles?

At this stage unfortunately not but it is something we are looking at providing in the near future. The jars can be cleaned and repurposed for other storage purposes or for DIY use.

Why is my candle tunneling and not melting evenly?

Tunneling will occur when you have not let the flame of your candle burn long enough to create a melt pool that reaches the edge of the jar (this can take 3-4 hours). If this occurs do not trim your wick but leave it longer to create a larger flame on your next burn to allow the wax pool to reach the edge of the jar.
