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 acrossDon´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 timeIf 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 wickTrim the wick to 5mm before each lighting. To trim the wick, carefully break it off with your fingertips or use a wick trimmer.
The Spirit of the Lion
The lion is one of the most powerful animals on the planet and has been admired for centuries for its strength, bravery, and courage. In many cultures, it is also a symbol of determination, representing the element of fire. The lion's fiery nature is reflected in its unrelenting spirit and ability to pursue its goals with unwavering focus and determination. Feel the courage and strength of the lion within you, and let it inspire you to face your fears and pursue your dreams with boldness.
The lion is a social animal and lives in groups, with a dominant male leading the pride. This makes the lion also a symbol of leadership and authority, representing the importance of solid leadership and the ability to inspire others to follow.
Let the Lion Candle inspire you to pursue your goals with unwavering focus and lead with authority. Embrace the powerful spiritual meaning of the lion with our Lion Candle, and let its flame bring out the fearless and determined spirit in you.

Very natural scents and not overwhelming or artificial at all! Also love the designs and that they made it matte - looks very high end and even better in real life.

Review in English - Original
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.
