***********
7 reasons why our candles live up to our ‘good things’ ethos
1.
VEGAN
(Animal Product Free, Only Animal Cruelty Free Products Used)
We don’t use stearic acid in our products. This is animal fat which is typically used in most mass produced candles to harden the wax. We don’t use bees wax which is an animal product. The glue used to stick the wick down does not contain any animal products.
2.
Non – Toxic
(No Paraffin!)
We don’t use any paraffin in our candles. Paraffin wax is petroleum based and is created using crude oil. There are concerns of its toxicity because of carcinogens created when lit.
3.
Aromatherapy Health Benefits
(Pure Essential Oils Used)
We use pure essential oils in our products. Essential oils (Natural) as opposed to fragrance oils (Man-made) have health benefits. Natural oils from plants such as lavender is known for its anti-histamine properties, it helps reduce inflammation, and can impact on an emotional level by reducing stress and tension. It can produce these responses in your body when breathed in. Fragrance oils are synthetic (man made) and these health benefits are lost in the production process. For this reason we use essential oils where possible so our candles can provide Relaxing, calming and stimulating therapeutic health benefits.
Please note: Essential oils are more expensive than synthetic due to the process they are made. Rose scent which is very popular is one of the most expensive essential oils as it can go for a retail price of £9 per ml. This essential oil used in a candle can dramatically raise the price of the candle making it unattainable to some. If you would like a custom made candle we will let you know if we are using essential oils or fragrance oils to achieve the scent you want at a reasonable price.
4.
Animal Friendly
(Gentle Throw, Non-Toxic)
Our products have no toxins in them and our soy wax gives off a gentle throw which is not overpowering to animals. Soy wax with essential oils gives out a gentle throw which when you finish burning will disappear after 30mins.
5.
Long Burning Time
We use soy wax which has a longer burning time than paraffin wax. We don’t use beewax as that is an animal product. Our burning time of 30 hours can be extended by following proper candle burning techniques such as trimming the candle wick to ¼ inch after every use, burning for a maximum of 2hrs at a time and a minimum of 30 minutes of a time.
6.
No Plastic Packaging
We use paper / cardboard packaging.
7.
Hand Poured in the UK
We hand pour these in our home and sell at local markets.
