VEGAN FRIENDLY
Our formulations do not contain any ingredients of animal origin and exclude all animal testing.
NATURALNESS
Our candle contains wax that is 100% vegetable-based, but is it natural? Absolutely! Natural wax can be made from mineral or vegetal ingredients.
The difference?
- Vegetable wax, extracted from plants such as soya, rice, or rapeseed, is biodegradable and has the advantage of not creating any black smoke when it burns.
- Mineral wax from paraffin is often used in candle making. Its advantages include being highly available, colourless, and odourless. It is, however, non-renewable.
As part of a more eco-responsible approach, all the candles in this collection are made from 100% vegetable-based wax from rapeseed and sunflower. A stunning handmade, eco-designed candle—what could be better to fill your home with fragrance?
HOW TO USE THIS SCENTED CANDLE
First tip: place the candle on a heat-resistant surface. Make sure the wick is straight before lighting it with a lighter or a match.
With every use, let the candle burn for at least 3 to 4 hours, until all the vegetable wax on the surface has become liquid. This will prevent your candle from collapsing and forming a sinkhole around the wick.
The wick should never be left to burn against the edge of the candle; always check that the wick is straight and centred before snuffing it out. This will help the candle wax melt evenly.
EXTINGUISHING THIS CANDLE
Simply dip the lit wick into the liquid wax. This will immediately snuff your candle out, without any smoke or smell. Be sure to straighten out the wick.
WHY SHOULD A CANDLEWICK BE TRIMMED?
Before each use, trim 5 mm from the wick to encourage an optimal burn.
If the wick is too tall, the flame may generate black smoke.
WILL THE CANDLE’S GLASS CONTAINER GET HOT?
Like any combustion-producing candle, the glass container will get hot after several hours of use.
There is no risk for the surface or piece of furniture on which your scented candle is placed. We do recommend waiting for the candle to cool before moving it and keeping it out of the reach of children and pets.

FAQ
Soy wax offers a biodegradable and non-gmo foundation, sourced entirely from plants and free from pesticides or genetic modification. It burns slower than paraffin, creating less soot and extending each candle's life. This eco-friendly material improves indoor air quality and serves as an ideal base for showcasing complex fragrances from natural oils.
Handmade vegan candles benefit from unmatched attention to detail. Each stage—from blending soy wax with essential oils to pouring and finishing—is carried out by skilled artisans. This process ensures:
🖐️ Consistent, high-quality scent diffusion
🏆 Unique and customizable fragrances
🔎 Fewer flaws or imperfections
💚 Enhanced ethical oversight in ingredient selection
Those with sensitivities generally fare better with vegan scented candles due to minimal reliance on synthetic chemicals, phthalates, or allergens. Essential oils and plant-based ingredients produce nuanced fragrances, decreasing the risk of overwhelming reactions. However, caution remains necessary with potent botanical oils if specific allergies exist.
High-quality artisanal candles typically offer a burn duration close to 50 hours for standard sizes. Variations may arise depending on ambient conditions, wick care, and proper initial use. Regularly trimming the wick helps maximize enjoyment and efficiency.

What defines a vegan scented candle?
Many wonder what truly sets a vegan scented candle apart from conventional alternatives. The distinction lies not only in the raw materials but also in the philosophy guiding its creation. Every component, from wick to scent, reflects a strong commitment to both ecology and ethics.
Opting for these candles means choosing transparency and mindfulness regarding composition. There is no room for synthetic additives, animal-derived substances, or questionable practices. Instead, producers focus on elements that respect nature and personal well-being.
Which materials are used in vegan scented candles?
These candles draw on fundamental components that prioritize both sustainability and purity. Soy wax, celebrated for its non-gmo and biodegradable virtues, forms the backbone of most vegan options. On occasion, coconut or rapeseed wax appears as other renewable alternatives, ensuring each candle burns cleanly with minimal environmental impact.
Attention to detail extends to the wick itself. Artisans frequently select 100% natural wicks—typically cotton or wood—which help maintain indoor air quality. As for fragrance, only essential oils or plant-based aromas are used, enhancing the experience without resorting to artificial shortcuts.
Why do vegan scented candles avoid certain additives?
Traditional candles often include paraffin (petroleum-based) or stabilizers associated with allergies and pollutants. Vegan scented candles deliberately exclude all substances of animal origin, including beeswax, stearic acid, and animal-based colorants, to guarantee a cruelty-free product. The eco-conscious approach frequently extends to biodegradable packaging as well.
By avoiding such additives, artisans create products aligned with contemporary health expectations and environmental goals, making each use more enjoyable and reassuring.
Benefits of choosing vegan scented candles
Selecting a vegan candle offers far more than just a delightful aroma. For those who appreciate authenticity and artisanal charm, every ingredient has been thoughtfully chosen, resulting in positive effects for both health and the planet.
Fragrances derived from natural essential oils present subtle, intricate notes less likely to provoke headaches compared to synthetic perfumes. Furthermore, supporting eco-friendly brands demonstrates a clear preference for responsible consumption.
Environmental benefits of plant-based candles
Vegan scented candles made from soy wax or botanical bases lessen dependence on non-renewable resources. Such materials decompose easily in nature, unlike paraffin-based varieties, thus reducing landfill waste. Their biodegradable character makes disposal gentle on the environment.
Manufacturers prioritizing renewable ingredients frequently extend ecological principles to packaging and sourcing, thereby reinforcing each candle’s overall environmental profile.
Supporting artisanry and ethical manufacturing
Every vegan candle reflects devotion to craftsmanship. Many originate from small workshops focused on artisanal production. This hands-on approach favors short supply chains, thoughtful labor practices, and exceptional attention to quality. Such human involvement gives every fragrance a distinct personality absent from mass-produced options.
By purchasing from brands adhering to cruelty-free processes and non-gmo standards, one participates in a transparent, ethical economy. Lighting a candle thus becomes an act of support for community-oriented businesses across the globe.
How to choose the ideal vegan scented candle?
Identifying the perfect candle depends on several factors, including burn time and fragrance intensity. Taking the time to read labels or inquire about production methods provides assurance and satisfaction.
Some candles guarantee impressive longevity; for instance, a high-quality vegan candle can offer around 50 hours of burn time. Discerning buyers favor blends containing at least 90% natural ingredients, proving that delicate scents can be achieved from pure sources without compromising durability.
- 🕯️ Choose soy or coconut wax for optimal burning safety
- 🌿 Favor candles made with essential oils for nuanced, enduring fragrance
- 🐇 Look for “no animal ingredients” and “cruelty-free” certification
- ♻️ Seek out biodegradable, recyclable, or compostable packaging
- 👏 Prioritize handmade or limited-edition candles to support local artisans
Those seeking rare or unusual scents often gravitate toward artisanal production. Small-batch makers blend unexpected botanicals with beloved classics, leading to layered compositions that transform any interior into a fragrant retreat.
The art of using and preserving vegan candles
To fully enjoy each candle, a few simple habits are key. Well-maintained candles provide optimal scent throw, even melting, and remarkable lifespan—a must when investing in such responsible luxuries.
Proper usage and regular care elevate a humble object into an essential element of home ambiance, promising warm evenings and enchanting atmospheres week after week.
Lighting and extinguishing tips
Before each lighting, trim the wick to roughly five millimeters to prevent soot and prolong the clean burn. Allow the entire surface to melt during the first use to avoid tunneling and ensure an even wax pool in future sessions.
When extinguishing, gently dip the wick into melted wax and straighten it to minimize smoke, preserve the fragrance, and prepare the candle for next use.
Long-term storage advice
Store unused vegan candles away from heat, sunlight, or temperature fluctuations. A cool, dry place preserves both aroma and appearance—especially important with premium natural formulas.
Storing candles upright in their original packaging shields the wax and fragrance compounds from dust and degradation. With mindful storage, beauty and efficacy remain intact over time.
