Why did we choose an eco vegetable (rapeseed and coconut) wax blend?

Well, it’s more sustainable than soy with zero deforestation involved in the manufacturing process - that’s very important to us and hopefully to you - it’s 100% plant-based and burns super cleanly, so no sooting.

This is a smooth wax, and we find it has a good cold and hot scent throw. Plus, it’s water-soluble, meaning with some hot, soapy water, the wax will dissolve, allowing you to easily re-use your amber glass jar.

You’ll notice a cosy crackling noise when you burn your Comma wooden wick candle. We love it! It’s like having a little conversation with your candle.

Again, sustainability was part of our decision to steer clear of cotton wicks - one tree can provide thousands of wicks - and wood burns cleaner; it doesn’t ’mushroom’ like cotton wicks and produces less carbon and soot. Wooden wicks also give a better hot throw and are longer lasting as a rule.

We encourage you to reuse your candle’s amber glass jar by washing any excess wax away in hot, soapy water and removing the small metal sustainer which we use to hold our wicks in place.

The brown boxes can be put in with your normal cardboard recycling as well as the internal crinkly packing paper. 

We use a mix of essential oils and synthetic fragrances in our candles - all of them are very high quality. Using synthetic oils means we can make a more affordable product for our customers and, as many essential oils are endangered from over-harvesting, a more sensible alternative is feasible.

We couldn't make our candles if any part of the process involved harm to animals. Our candles are fully vegan - from wax, to wicks, to fragrance.

There is no deforestation involved which means the natural habitat of insects and wildlife is not disturbed during the making of our wick or wax.
