Staying true to the values set-out by Sarah in 2014, our candles are poured by hand in the UK, as opposed to by machine, to help reduce emissions and energy use.

We use natural rapeseed wax in our candles – a much more sustainable option than paraffin. Rapeseed is grown locally in the UK and Europe, it’s both good for our health and it helps restore the wild bee population. We choose not to use beeswax in our candles out of respect for our vegan customers. Additionally, honeybees managed for the mass production of their wax are commonly poorly treated and the hives often exacerbate the existing pressures on wild honey bees.

We add a percentage of essential oils to our fragrances to bring a touch of the natural world and aromatherapy to our scents. We only use essential oils that are sustainably farmed and never from endangered species.

We use phthalate-free perfumes to bring a wider range of notes, it also allows us to ethically use the synthetic version of essential oils that are either endangered or banned – synthetic shouldn’t be a dirty word. Our oils are IFRA approved, meaning they meet all safety and sustainability standards. They ensure that our factory is working to reduce emissions and waste alongside conserving water and energy.

We promise to never use plastic in any of our packaging. Our boxes are 100% recyclable and FSC certified. When we re-branded the company in 2019, we made the conscious decision not to wrap our boxes in cellophane, unlike many other luxury brands.

Our glass is made from part-recycled glass and is 100% recyclable, we also encourage our customers to re-use their jars once the candle has finished burning.

Remaining true to our promise, we don’t use any plastic in our e-commerce parcels either: the box, packing and tissue are all recyclable and our sticker labels are biodegradable.
