Most high street candles use paraffin wax. It's a petroleum by-product - the same family as petrol and diesel. When it burns, it can release chemicals like benzene and toluene into the air in your home.
Every Lakeland Lights candle is 100% natural soy wax. Soy burns cleaner with less soot. It lasts longer. And it releases fragrance more gradually and evenly, so the scent doesn't hit you all at once and then fade.
It costs us more. We think it's worth it.
