Why we use soy wax
100% biodegradable & water solubleSoy wax is a biodegradable plant-based wax. Essentially, it is made up of the same biological chemicals that are found in other plant fibers. That means that it is safe for the organisms that are found in soil to decompose soy wax.
No toxins are released when burnedSoy wax is non-toxic, meaning that when used for candles, it does not release toxins and chemicals into the air when burned, unlike paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum and does release toxins when burned.
Clean burnSoy wax is considered a clean-burning wax, which means it can burn for hours at a time and make your home smell lovely.
Candle care
The better you treat your candle, the better it will treat you!
Let the wax melt all the way across
Don't blow the candle out until the top layer of wax has melted all the way across. This might take several hours so don't set out to burn a candle unless you've got the time to do so. If not melted all the way across the candle starts to tunneling and the wick starts to sink lower.
Only burn your candle for 4 hours at a time
If you burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time, carbon will collect on the wick, and your wick will begin to "mushroom." This can cause the wick to become unstable, the flame to get too large, your candle to smoke, and soot to be released into the air and around your candle container.
Trim the wood wick
Trim the wick to 5mm before each lighting. To trim the wick, carefully break it off with your fingertips or use a wick trimmer.
About the Spirit of the Honu
The turtle's spirit, known as honu in the Hawaiian language, symbolizes patience, wisdom, and longevity. In many indigenous cultures, the turtle is revered as a sacred animal with physical and spiritual strength.
Our Honu candle embodies the turtle spirit's essence and represents the flow of life. The turtle reminds us to slow down, take time, and be patient. Lighting the Honu candle in your home can bring a sense of peace and tranquility to your life. It serves as a reminder to embrace the journey, trust the process, and be patient with ourselves and those around us.
As the candle burns, it releases Cedarwood and Vanilla's sweet and woody aroma, creating a calming atmosphere that can help you connect with your inner spirit and the flow of life. It reminds us to slow down and take a moment to appreciate the beauty and simplicity of life.

Ordered the Lion Candle and Coconut Dream Diffuser. Very happy with the fast delivery and the scents. Next time I want to try Sandalwood & the Elephant candle.

I just love my Elephant candle. It has a very woody scent with a sweet undertone and really reminds me of the Elephant - my favorite animal. The packaging is also very cute and as stated plastic-free.

Wood Wick Candles FAQ
How long does it last
Our candles are crafted with 100% pure soy wax, ensuring a clean and long-lasting burn. As a result, our 220ml standard candles typically burn for around 50 hours, while our 120ml tin candles offer approximately 20 hours burn time.
For the best experience, be sure to follow our safety guide and candle care instructions. The candle will only burn that long if the wick is properly trimmed and the maximum burn time is observed.
Why soy wax

No toxins are released when burned
Soy wax is non-toxic, meaning that when used for candles, it does not release toxins and chemicals into the air when burned, unlike paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum and does release toxins when burned.
Clean burn and excellent scent throw
Soy wax is known for its clean burn and excellent scent throw, allowing it to burn for hours while making your home smell lovely.
How long can I store a candle
