Lavender (Lavandula Officinalis)

Lavender essential oil is known for its calming, relaxing effects and can be a wonderful natural mood booster, especially helpful for easing stress and improving sleep. Traditionally valued for its healing benefits, lavender oil supports wound care and helps guard against harmful bacteria, offering gentle relief from pain. This is largely thanks to linalool - a naturally occurring compound recognized for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Extracted through steam distillation from lavender plants, this essential oil brings both soothing aromas and wellness benefits into your space.

Ylang Ylang (Cananga Odorata)

Rich, floral, and exotic, ylang ylang essential oil is revered for its mood-boosting and brightening qualities. Known for its immune-boosting properties, it also soothes and reassures by influencing processes in the hippocampus area of the brain and in the serotonin system, which points to an anti-anxiety effect. Traditionally ylang ylang has been used to help release negative emotions, promote positivity and support sleep.

The oils are hand-blended in our studio before being added to sustainably sourced soy wax and infused, then hand-poured in small batches to ensure quality. Beautifully presented in a recyclable clear glass jar with a polished silver lid to keep your candle dust-free, small candles will burn for approximately 15-20 hours, medium for 30 -35 hours, and our large candles for 45-50 hours.

We only use natural soy wax that is sustainably sourced in Europe by our supplier. This means it doesn't contain any palm oils and is environmentally and vegan-friendly. We also don't use any synthetic fragrances, additives, colourings, or scent enhancers - all of the ingredients you see on our labels naturally occur in the essential oils used. Soy wax can be sensitive to temperature fluctuations and you may notice some frosting on the surface of your candle, which is normal and doesn't affect the fragrance or performance.

How to Burn
On first use, burn small candles for 2 hours and medium/large candles for 3-4 hours or until a wax pool that reaches the edge of the container has been established. Depending on fragrance, a full melt pool may not be established until the third burn but don't worry, this is normal as we wick our candles for a slower burn but the melt pool will catch up.
On first use, burn small candles for a maximum of two hours and medium/large candles for three to four hours, or until a wax pool that reaches the edge of the container has been established.

Depending on fragrance, a full melt pool may not be established until the second or third burn but don't worry, this is normal as we wick our candles for a slower burn so you can enjoy the fragrance and wellbeing benefits for longer.
We want you to enjoy your candle safety. To get the best out of your candle, always trim the wick to 0.5cm before lighting and ensure any debris, including matches and wick trimmings, has been removed. Always burn candles on a stable surface away from draughts and anything that could catch fire. Always stop burning your candle when 1cm of wax remains at the bottom of the jar to avoid the jar overheating. Never leave a burning candle unattended and always extinguish candles before sleep. Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
We use natural soy wax that is manufactured in the UK by our supplier using soya which is ethically sourced from non-generically modified producers in Europe. It is biodegradable and vegan-friendly. Our supplier has confirmed this wax does not contain any palm oils and does not contribute to deforestation.

We purchase our essential oils from a reputable family business that we have worked with for many years. We only use high-quality vegan-friendly essential oils that are 100% pure and do not contain any additives or preservatives. Our supplier ethically sources each oil from reputable producers and bottles in the UK.

To produce a small amount of essential oils, a large amount of botanical material is required and this can put strain on the sustainability of botanicals used for essential oil production. We avoid using oils derived from the following botanicals which are considered threatened or endangered: Eucalyptus Radiata, Frankincense (Boswellia Scra), Sandalwood (Santalum Album), Atlas Cedarwood (Cedrus Atlantica), Bay Laurel (Laurel Leaf), Rosewood (Aniba Rosaeodora) and Vanilla (Vanilla Planifolia). We do use Cedarwood and Eucalyptus in some of our products but are careful to ensure the varieties used are Eucalyptus Globulus (Eucalyptus) and Juniperus Virginiana (Cedarwood) which are not considered threatened or endangered.

The glass jars and steel lids used for our candles can be recycled. The jars can be repurposed and make great desert jars while the lids are perfectly sized to pop onto drink glasses in the summer to keep out pesky wasps.

We use natural kraft packaging which can be recycled once the label has been removed. Delivery boxes are shredded where possible and reused as packing.

Although our soy wax is biodegradable we recommend donating any unused wax to Beacons Creative which provides employment opportunities for young adults with disabilities and uses donated wax to make fircone lights which are then sold locally.
