Paraffin or Soy?

We use Coconut Soy wax for a few reasons. Paraffin has been largely demonised in the candle making community over the past decade or so and while we don't neccessarily agree with that assessment, there is evidence to suggest that soy gives a cleaner burn. Coconut wax is even softer which gives a longer burn time because of its low melt point. We're confident our blend is the most luxurious we can offer.

Essential Oils?

'Do you use essential oils?' is a question we really only get at markets but it's asked A LOT. There's a common misconception that essential oils are 'healthier' but there are several essential oils that are not safe to be burned. Peppermint, Lavender and Citrus, for example would be toxic. They also evaporate much more quickly and so instead, we use high quality fragrance oils to scent our wax.

Are They Pet Safe?

Yes! Again, because we do not use pure essential oils and we use only natural waxes and untreated cotton wicks. Some of the fragrance oils we use do have essential oils as part of their blend but they are created specifically for candle makers and so safe to be burned around humans and pets. We also offer wax-free alternatives for our customers who want to avoid flames in their homes.

Candle Refills?

We've had so many people ask about whether we will offer refills, I think specifically for our handmade jars. Unfortunately that's not something we offer currently but we're working on it. There are 2 blocks currently. 1. The jars are not all exactly the same size/shape because they're hand poured. 2. It's very difficult to create a refill without paraffin - because most natural waxes are so much softer. Perhaps we will come to a solution in 2025..

Shipping Time?

Karen is our picker, packer and poster and she is known by our customers for her SPEEDY response to your online orders. That said, we always ask you to allow 3 days handling before shipping, especially in peak gifting seasons. Unless you're outside of UK Mainland or your item is made to order, you should receive it within the week via either Evri or Royal Mail, depending on size, weight and where in the world we are shipping it to!

Wholesale?

Do we offer wholesale pricing? We do! We have a cataolgue we can provide of our core products/scents. In a nutshell, we require a minimum order of 20 of each item (scents can be mixed) in order to benefit from 50% discount. We also offer white label and custom blending services, if you're looking to create something to sell under your own brand. Lead time is 2 weeks, shipping will be calculated once the order is received and payment must be made ahead.
