What wax is used in Burning Butterfly candles?

Every Burning Butterfly candle is made with a blend of rapeseed and coconut wax. Both are plant-based and completely free from paraffin, soy, palm, beeswax and synthetic additives. Rapeseed wax is UK-grown, and the blend is chosen for its clean burn and strong, natural scent throw.

How long do Burning Butterfly candles burn?

Each candle has an approximate burn time of 40 hours. The candles are 30cl and contain 220g of wax, hand-poured in small batches by Jo. To get the best burn life, allow the wax to melt to the edges on the first burn and keep the wick trimmed to around 5mm.

Are Burning Butterfly candles safe to burn indoors?

Yes. All candles are made with clean-burning cotton wicks and plant-based rapeseed and coconut wax, which produce significantly less soot than paraffin candles. As with all candles, burn on a heat-resistant surface, keep away from draughts and never leave unattended.

Are the candles suitable as gifts?

Yes - every candle is shipped in a simple white or kraft gift box, ready to give. For an extra finishing touch, you can add a wooden or stainless steel lid, a satin ribbon gift box, or a candle accessory from the accessories collection.

What makes Burning Butterfly candles different?

The candles are hand-poured by Jo in small batches using plant-based rapeseed and coconut wax - no paraffin, no synthetic wax, no shortcuts. Each one is named after a British butterfly species and blended with cruelty-free fragrance oils inspired by the natural world. Nothing is rushed and every detail is considered.
