Lighting this candle has become my favourite part of the daily morning routine! If you’re a coffee lover, this one is a must! It’s actually unreal and the best smell to enjoy over breakfast!
In a world where people are increasingly aware of the impact of mass produced goods and their own consumption habits, a candle has got to do more than light up a room and smell nice.
This is where Kernowfornia Soul has really ticked all the boxes with their beautiful and thoroughly considered candles!
It goes without saying that the fun, yet refined, designs and branding (with the packaging and container materials also well considered) is enough to draw most people in, but the main draw (for me) is the fact that they're made with natural soy wax and non-toxic fragrances. I've always been put off burning candles at home because of the synthetic chemicals that most of them contain (bad for our lungs and the planet!), but now I get to enjoy luscious smells at home with no nasties.
As well as burning much cleaner than standard candles, the soy wax also seems to have a really good burn time - I've been super impressed with how long my candle has lasted! Then there's the FSC certified wooden wicks!
As if the product itself wasn't good enough, Kernowfornia Soul have taken it a step further with their funding of kelp restoration projects! Each candle sold helps to fund vital projects - such a fantastic idea, and an incredible way for a Cornwall based business to give something back to the very environment that has helped to inspire it! It's great to see a startup that's giving something back from the get go.
Although my first candle is actually still going, I probably won't be waiting until it's done to buy my next one!
FAQs
What are eco conscious soy candles
Our soy candles are made from 100% natural, renewable soy wax, a biodegradable alternative to paraffin. They're clean-burning as we only use fragrance oils which are free from Paraben's and Phthalates, and are hand poured with love to reduce environmental impact. We also use FSC® certified wooden wicks, and all our tins and packaging is fully recyclable.
Why choose soy scented candles over paraffin candles?
Soy wax burns longer and cleaner than paraffin, producing less soot and toxins. It's a healthier choice for your home, family, and the planet.
Are wooden wicks better than cotton wicks?
Yes! Wooden wicks provide a beautiful crackling sound, a cleaner burn, and create a modern, rustic look. Plus, they come from FSC® certified wood sources for sustainability.
How long do your soy scented candles burn?
As soy wax burns slower than Paraffin wax it is better value for money. Our 250g tin soy scented candles burn for a minimum of 45 hours
Do your candles contain any harmful chemicals?
Nope. We use phthalate-free fragrance oils and never include parabens, lead, or petroleum byproducts. We also use FSC® certified wooden wicks, as even some cotton wicks are actually coated in Paraffin wax to help them burn.
Why does my wooden wick candle tunnel or go out?
Wooden wicks need a bit of love! Always trim your wick (see our blog post on how to look after your wooden wick candle, and you will also receive a wooden wick care card in your delivery)
To Avoid tunnelling you need to let the candle burn long enough to create an even melt pool (simply means let the wax melt from one side of the tin to the other)
Candles have a "memory" so the first burn is important.
Is your packaging eco-friendly?
Yes, our packaging is recyclable, biodegradable, or reusable, because sustainability matters at every step. We recommend you clean out and re-use your tins, they make wonderful plant pots.
How do you support Climate Change?
We donate a proportion of ever candle sold to our Kelp projects. Why is kelp so important? Kelp is an 'ecosystem engineer'. This is a very fancy way of saying that kelp takes greenhouse gasses (GHG) out of the atmosphere, where those GHGs are then 'fixed' into organic carbon in the ocean to create the crucial kelp structure. This is crucial because the kelp structure provides an important habitat of many juvenile marine animals, and enhances water quality. So kelp can reduce impacts from climate change, enhance biodiversity and improve water quality. This is why we love kelp!
What scents are available in your eco-friendly soy candles?
From beach coconut to cozy gingerbread and refreshing desert cactus or coastal cypress, our scent lineup is Cornish and Californian inspired and free from harmful additives.
Where are your candles made?
All our candles are hand-poured in small batches right here in Cornwall using ethically sourced ingredients.
