Why should you choose Cocosoy Wax candles?
Cocosoy wax candles offer a superior home fragrance experience. Made from a blend of coconut and soy wax, they burn cleaner and longer than traditional paraffin candles, releasing minimal soot and toxins. The natural composition ensures a more sustainable and eco-friendly option, supporting a healthier environment. Cocosoy wax also holds and distributes fragrance better, providing a consistent, delightful scent throughout its burn time. Choose cocosoy wax candles for a luxurious, environmentally conscious, and high-quality candle experience.
Our candles are made with 100% Cocosoy wax, which is palm oil free and cruelty free.

My candle wax is a funny colour or texture, and there is some kind of air bubble on the side?
Wax is a natural substance, easily influenced by added fragrances and environmental conditions. Fragrance oils can change the creamy color of the wax, sometimes causing yellow discoloration, especially with high fragrance loads. Sun exposure can also fade or discolor the wax surface.
With our 100% natural cocosoy candles, you might notice frosting or crystallizing, known as polymorphism. This white coating is natural and unique to vegetable waxes like soy, indicating a pure cocosoy wax candle. These natural variations do not affect the candle’s performance, so you can enjoy its ambiance as usual.
In candles made with transparent glass, you might notice what appears to be air or water bubbles between the wax and the glass. This effect is due to the wax slightly pulling away from the glass because of environmental factors during and after creation. This glass adhesion issue is purely aesthetic and does not affect the candle's performance.

How long should my candle burn for?
For the best results, let your Evora Cove candle burn until the wax pool reaches the container's edge on the first burn. This prevents tunneling and maximizes your candle's life. We recommend not burning your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Burning longer can cause carbon buildup on the wick, leading to mushrooming and a larger, hotter flame.
