Traditional wax is made from paraffin, a substance derived from petroleum refining — a non-renewable and polluting resource.When burned, paraffin wax releases toxic substances that are harmful to health, including known carcinogens.The rapeseed and coconut wax used in our candles is not only 100% plant-based, but also produced in Europe from sustainable agriculture, free from genetically modified organisms (GMOs).It is a biodegradable wax that burns cleanly and slowly — meaning a rapeseed and coconut candle lasts longer and produces significantly less soot.
