Our Products

Candles

Wax
Our candles are made using eco-soy (non-GMO) wax that is grown and harvested in the US, but manufactured in the UK. All of our candles are hand made by us in Hackney or in our pouring room at our Kings cross location. Vegetable soy wax has a lower melt point, therefore the candles burn slower and last longer. In addition, we are in a position to guarantee that all of our collaborators and suppliers of soy-wax elements are certified by the RSPO. They are committed to ensuring that their work does not contribute to deforestation and respects the rights of workers and indigenous people. Halal and kosher.

Wicks
The wicks are made from cotton and unbleached linen, dipped in vegetable wax. This means your candle shouldn’t smoke or create a large flame, therefore better for the environment. The wicks and glue are manufactured in Germany. The cotton that we use complies with the Oetoex Standard 100, which regulates and tests fabrics for harmful substances.
Oils
Earl candles are scented with both essential oils and botanical oils. Essential oils are naturally derived, while botanical oils take the constituents of a plant and are mimicked by scientists in a lab. We wanted to create an affordable luxury for you, with a consistent scent all year round. Using a mixture of both botanical and essential oil allows us to do this. Oils are ethically sourced and fully traceable to origin.

All candles are Vegan, Phthalate and GMO free.
