As I continue refining my candle line, choosing ingredients that support a cleaner and more enjoyable burn has become incredibly important to me. One of the biggest changes I'm making as we enter 2026 is switching all of my candles to a coconut apricot wax blend and moving away from soy wax.
What is Coconut Apricot Wax?
It is a plant based wax blend made from coconut and apricot oils. It's known for creating smooth, steady burns with excellent scent performance. Coconut wax also provides one of the cleanest burns among candle waxes. You should experience less overall soot with coconut wax candles compared to traditional soy or paraffin candles.
Is Coconut Wax considered eco-friendly?
Yes, Coconut wax is often considered a more eco-conscious choice because of these reasons:
- coconuts are a highly renewable resource
- coconut trees produce for many years and require less water and fewer inputs to grow
- the wax is created from existing coconut oil production
- it is a plant-based and biodegradable
- coconut trees can often produce without the need for pesticide treatment unlike soy wax
Longer Burn Times
Coconut Apricot wax also burns very slow which means you'll be able to experience longer burn times and more hours to enjoy your favorite candles.
What I Don't Allow in My Fragrance Oils
Your candle fragrance should smell amazing without unnecessary extras. Here's what my fragrance oils never include:
- Phthalates - these are commonly found in fragrances as "carriers", meaning they help scents last longer and smell stronger. We screen all of our fragrance oils to ensure they are phthalate free.
- Prop 65 Components - these are chemicals that California's Proposition 65 lists as known to cause cancer, reproductive harm or birth defects. We don't want any of this in our candles, ever.
- No Animal Testing Ever - None of our products or fragrance oils are tested on animals - at any stage.
