Our candles and botanical wax melts are made using a natural soy wax that is manufactured in the UK by our supplier using soy sourced from non-genetically modified producers in Europe. It is biodegradable, vegan-friendly, and palm oil-free. Our supplier has also confirmed that the soy is sourced with sustainability in mind and does not contribute to deforestation.
We purchase our essential oils from a reputable family-run business that we have worked with for many years. We choose high-quality vegan-friendly essential oils that are 100% pure and unadulterated. Our supplier works with established producers around the world and bottles the oils here in the UK.
Essential oils are precious ingredients. Producing even a small amount can require a significant quantity of flowers, leaves, peel, wood or other botanical material, so responsible sourcing really matters to us.
We do not knowingly use essential oils derived from botanicals that are not considered threatened or endangered. We also avoid oils from species or sources where there are recognised sustainability or conservation concerns, including certain Rosewood, Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Frankincense, Bay Laurel and Vanilla species.
Where we use Eucalyptus and Cedarwood, we carefully select species that are not considered threatened or endangered species, including Eucalyptus globulus and Juniperus virginiana.
The glass jars and steel lids used for our candles can be recycled. The jars can also be repurposed and make lovely dessert jars, while the lids are perfectly sized to pop onto drink glasses in the summer to help keep out wasps.
We use natural kraft packaging for our candles, which can be recycled once the label has been removed. Our wax melt packaging is also recyclable, again once the label has been removed.
Although the wax used for our wax melts is biodegradable, we recommend reusing or repurposing any leftover wax where possible. If you are local to us, used wax can be donated to Brecon Creative Wales, where it is repurposed into pinecone firelighters.
