Why choose coconut wax candles?

Aug 5, 20262 min read

Coconut wax candles are known for its clean, even burn, excellent fragrance throw and its excellent sustainability credentials.

How is coconut wax made? The oil is extracted from the white flesh of coconuts and carefully refined into a smooth, creamy wax that's ideal for candle making. The result is a high performing wax that's biodegradable, vegan-friendly, and made from a renewable ingredient.

Coconut wax is also known for its slow, even burn, helping you enjoy your favourite fragrance for longer. Combined with its ability to carry scent exceptionally well, it's one of the reasons we choose it to create candles that look beautiful and smell incredible when burning and cool. 

Key sustainability benefits:

  • Sustainably sourced & vegan-friendly, ideal for eco-conscious lifestyles 
  • No links to deforestation, as coconut farming requires minimal land impact 
  • No pesticides or herbicides, as coconuts are naturally resilient crops 
  • Non-GMO, as coconuts are not genetically modified 

Choosing coconut wax candles supports a greener planet without compromising on quality. Beyond its eco credentials, coconut wax stands out for its exceptional performance:

Cleaner, non-toxic burn

Unlike paraffin wax which is derived from petroleum and releases harmful toxins, coconut wax burns cleanly. It produces minimal soot and no harmful carcinogens, making it a safer choice for your home.

Even & longer-lasting burn

As it has a low melting point, coconut wax candles burn more slowly and evenly, which reduces wasted wax, creates a longer-lasting candle and provides excellent value for money.

What to expect when your candle has cooled down.

Don't worry if you notice a slightly textured or uneven surface on your candle after it has cooled, this is completely normal with natural waxes. Changes in temperature and humidity can affect the way the wax sets, but it won't impact how your candle burns or performs. In fact, these little variations are often a sign of a natural wax blend. While some candles made with paraffin wax may have a smoother finish, many people prefer natural waxes for their renewable origins and beautiful, clean-burning characteristics.
