Tealight Gift Box (12)

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
We don't recommend burning tealights for any longer than 2 hours in a single burn.  Tealight containers can get extremely hot and potentially melt the surfaces beneath if they are not placed in a suitable non-flamable holder.  

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 50mm of wax remains at the bottom of the container to avoid the holder.  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. 

Candles should not be burnt to the bottom and at least 1cm of wax should remain in the vessel to avoid the glass jar overheating.  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. 

Please check the individual fragrance descriptions for allergen information.  Before using products containing essential oils, we recommend checking suitability.
