Why Rapeseed & Coconut Wax Wins

Eco-luxury candles for a cleaner, calmer home

Candles and wax melts have been around for centuries, but today we look for more. Cleaner ingredients, sustainable choices, and a burn that not only smells beautiful but feels good to use.

So the question is, is rapeseed and coconut wax the eco-luxury blend we’ve been waiting for?

Why Rapeseed & Coconut Wax is Different

Rapeseed wax, from the humble yellow flower grown across Europe, has one of the lowest carbon footprints of any candle wax. When blended with smooth, creamy coconut wax, it creates a formula that:

• Burns slower and cleaner than paraffin or soy
• Holds fragrance beautifully for a strong but balanced scent throw
• Is completely vegan and sustainable

It’s a wax designed for those who care about both luxury and the planet.

Benefits for Candle Lovers

When you light a rapeseed and coconut candle, you’re not just setting a mood. You’re making a mindful choice.

✨ Longer burn time
✨ Cleaner air (less soot, less smoke)
✨ Richer fragrance release
✨ A soft, creamy texture that feels indulgent

Comparing Wax Types: Rapeseed vs Soy vs Paraffin

Here’s a quick breakdown:

• Paraffin Wax → Inexpensive and strong scented, but made from petroleum and not eco-friendly
• Soy Wax → Plant-based and popular, but often imported long distances and prone to tunnelling
• Rapeseed & Coconut Wax → Locally sourced, sustainable, slow-burning, creamy, and beautifully refined

Winner? 🌿 Rapeseed & coconut. Hands down.
