Say No To Paraffin Based Candles

In the last few weeks there has been lots of press in the UK about the negative effects of Paraffin In Candles. Why oh why do candle makers still use this ingredient we ask ourselves? With some saying paraffin based candles can be linked to lung cancer and asthma why bother when there are alternatives such as beeswax or soy. These alternatives produce no detectable levels of harmful chemicals but can still give us a warm glow that can set a romantic mood or simply help relax us while in the bath. We are happy to say that none of our candles contain Paraffin, thank goodness!
