Our ingredients
Everything that goes into the jar
100% soy wax, pure essential oils, hand poured in Sydney. Here is every ingredient we use, what it is for, and what we leave out.
The base
The wax
Every Ember Noire candle is poured from 100% natural soy wax. No paraffin, no synthetic fragrance. Each one is hand poured in Sydney in small batches.
The flame
The wick
Pure cotton, with no lead or zinc core. A cotton wick burns cleaner and quieter than a cored one, and it is why the flame stays steady instead of guttering. Trim it to 5mm before every burn and the candle will last longer and soot less.
The outside
Packaging
Candles arrive in a reusable amber glass jar. Gift sets ship in a kraft box, and the roller set in a recyclable satchel.
The scent
The oils
Every scent in the range is built from pure essential oils. Here is each one, and the products you will find it in.

Still wondering
Questions
What wax do you use?
100% natural soy wax. Every candle is hand poured in Sydney in small batches. We do not use paraffin.
Can I refill my candle?
Yes. Our refills are made to fit any standard 300g amber jar, so you can keep the vessel and replace only the wax.
Are your candles vegan?
Yes. Our candles are vegan and never tested on animals.
What size are your candles?
Our standard candle is 300g in a reusable amber glass jar. The Discovery Set contains 100g mini candles.
Do essential oils contain allergens?
Yes, naturally. Essential oils contain compounds such as linalool, limonene, citral, geraniol and eugenol. They occur in the plants themselves. We do not add them, and we do not strip them out either, because removing them would mean reaching for something synthetic instead.
Our candles and mists scent the air around you. Our pulse point rollers go onto skin, so if yours is sensitive or you have reacted to essential oils before, patch test on your inner arm and leave it twenty four hours before using one properly. If you are pregnant or using them with a child, speak to your GP first.
Not sure which scent is yours?
Answer a few questions and we will point you to the one that fits how you actually want to feel.
