Join us as we explore the journey from raw materials to the finished product, and learn why our candles and wax melts are a perfect addition to your eco-conscious lifestyle.
The Ingredients: Choosing the Best for You and the Planet
Coconut Wax over Soy and Paraffin Wax
While many candle manufacturers opt for paraffin or soy wax, we at Eco Queen choose coconut wax. Here’s why:
- Eco-Friendly: Coconut wax is derived from the meat of coconuts, a renewable and sustainable crop.
- Clean Burn: It burns cleaner and slower than paraffin wax, producing less soot and a longer-lasting candle.
- Better Scent Throw: Coconut wax has a superior ability to hold and disperse fragrance, filling your space with a rich, consistent scent.
Our commitment to using coconut wax candles over traditional paraffin and soy options highlights our dedication to creating truly eco-friendly candles. Paraffin wax, a byproduct of petroleum, is not only non-renewable but also produces harmful soot when burned. Soy wax, while a step in the right direction, can be problematic due to the widespread use of genetically modified soy and the environmental impact of large-scale soy farming. By choosing coconut wax, we ensure our candles are both sustainable and luxurious.
Cotton Wicks Coated in Vegetable Wax
Our wicks are made from cotton and coated with vegetable wax, avoiding the harmful chemicals often found in other wicks. This ensures a cleaner, toxin-free burn, enhancing your candle experience without compromising your health or the environment.
Cotton wicks coated in vegetable wax provide a clean and steady burn, essential for luxury candles. Many conventional wicks contain metals like lead, which can release toxic fumes when burned. By opting for natural, chemical-free wicks, we further our mission to create eco-friendly candles that are safe for you and the environment.
The Process: Crafting with Care
Hand-Pouring with Precision
Each eco-friendly candle and wax melt are carefully hand-poured in small batches in Leeds. This artisanal approach allows us to maintain a high level of quality and attention to detail, ensuring that every product meets our stringent standards.
Hand-poured candles not only ensure a higher level of craftsmanship but also reduce the environmental impact associated with large-scale production. Our team in Leeds takes pride in meticulously crafting each candle, ensuring that our eco-friendly candles meet the highest standards of quality and sustainability.
Blending Natural Fragrances
We use only the finest natural and essential oils to create our fragrances. Our blends are designed to evoke a sense of calm, relaxation, and joy, making your home a haven of pleasant aromas.
Natural fragrances are an essential component of our sustainable wax melts and eco-friendly candles. Synthetic fragrances can contain harmful chemicals that contribute to indoor air pollution and health issues. By using pure essential oils and natural fragrance blends, we ensure that our products are not only delightful to use but also safe for your home environment.
Packaging: Committing to Plastic-Free Solutions
Tissue Paper Wrapping
We avoid plastic packaging entirely. Instead, we wrap our eco-friendly candles and sustainable wax melts in beautiful, plastic-free tissue paper. Each piece of tissue paper is hand-stamped, adding a personal touch to every product.
Plastic-free packaging is a cornerstone of our commitment to sustainability. Traditional plastic packaging contributes significantly to environmental pollution, taking hundreds of years to decompose. By using recyclable and biodegradable materials, we reduce our ecological footprint and promote a cleaner, healthier planet.
Always Seeking Sustainability
At Eco Queen, we are constantly seeking new ways to enhance our sustainability efforts. From improving our packaging materials to adopting greener production practices, we are dedicated to reducing our environmental impact. If you have any suggestions or questions, please feel free to email us at info@ecoqueen.uk.
Our commitment to continuous improvement in sustainability means we are always exploring innovative methods to reduce waste, conserve resources, and create products that align with our eco-friendly values. We believe that sustainability is an ongoing journey, and we are dedicated to making progress every step of the way.
Recyclable and Biodegradable Materials
All our packaging materials are recyclable or biodegradable, aligning with our commitment to sustainability. From the tissue paper to the boxes, every element is chosen with the environment in mind.
Using recyclable packaging helps to minimise the environmental impact of our products. Biodegradable materials ensure that our packaging can break down naturally, reducing waste and contributing to a healthier ecosystem. This approach reflects our dedication to creating a sustainable future.
