Plant Wax
To make our candles, we use soy wax harvested from the renewable soya bean plant (and rest assured, our wax is not sourced from South America). Soy wax is eco-friendly, sustainable, and clean-burning, meaning it burns without soot or toxic emissions. Unlike petroleum-based paraffin candles, our soy wax is completely natural, free from GM materials, biodegradable, vegan, and cruelty-free.
Our suppliers
Wherever possible, we source our supplies locally, working with florists, designers, box makers, potters, and print houses based here in Cornwall.
For anything we can't source in Cornwall, we support UK-based suppliers to reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to the local economy.
Packaging
Packaging fragile products can be tricky, especially without relying on plastic bubble wrap. We take great care in researching the most sustainable packaging options available, even though these alternatives are often more costly.
Business cards – Made from unbleached paper stock, crafted from de-inked post-consumer waste, and certified by FSC®. Produced in an industry-leading mill to strict ISO 14001 environmental management standards.
Postal packaging – We use paper tape, and our boxes are made from recycled cardstock, which can be easily recycled again. Whenever possible, we also reuse postal packaging received from other suppliers.
Candle jars – Made from recycled glass, these jars are fully recyclable. The lids are crafted from aluminium, a material that can be infinitely recycled. We avoid using plastic lids to seal our candles.
Void fillers – Made from biodegradable foam nuggets created from non-GM potato starch, these fillers can dissolve in water or be composted.
Organic cotton bags – GOTS-certified organic cotton, ensuring it has been harvested and produced through environmentally responsible processes.
Refill Service
We are also proud to offer a refill service, encouraging the circular lifecycle of our glass jars.
