Why we use soy wax for our lovely candles?

Why We Choose Pure Soy Wax

If you’ve ever stopped by to smell our candles, you already know we do things a little differently around here. Beyond capturing the iconic colours of the Kimberley, that striking clash of turquoise ocean tides and deep pindan soil, we’re meticulous about what actually goes into every single jar.

When it came to choosing the foundation for our candles, the decision was simple: 100% natural soy wax. Here’s why we fell in love with soy wax, and why it makes all the difference for your home.

1. A Cleaner, Healthier Burn

Unlike traditional paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum and can release dark soot and toxins into the air, soy wax is entirely plant-based, natural, and non-toxic. It burns remarkably clean, meaning no nasty black soot coating your walls, furniture, or lungs. It gives you all the warmth and atmosphere of a flickering flame with none of the harsh synthetic fumes.

2. A Longer-Lasting Flame

Soy wax melts at a lower temperature than paraffin, which means your candle burns much slower and cooler. What does that mean for you? You get a significantly longer burn time out of every glass, letting you enjoy your favorite scents for many more golden-hour evenings. 

3. Sustainable & Gentle on the Planet

Soybeans are a renewable, biodegradable resource grown by farmers, making soy wax a conscious, eco-friendly choice. It’s also incredibly easy to clean, if you happen to spill a little melted wax, warm soap and water will wash it right up. Once your candle has finished its final burn, simply wash out the glass jar and repurpose it around the house!

The Secret Ingredient: Our Homemade Essential Oil Blends

A great wax base deserves an exceptional scent. We don't just pour standard off-the-shelf fragrances into our jars; every single candle is infused with our very own homemade essential oil blends.

Crafted by hand in small batches, our custom oil blends are designed to mirror the grounding, fresh, and soothing essence of The Kimberley landscape. 

Handcrafted with Love

We make every candle here at our shop in Broome (2 Harriet Road, Bilingurr).
We have 13 different wonderful candles to choose from in every color possible! We make every candle in 3 different sizes, so you have lots of options to choose from!

Candle Care Instructions:

The first burn is more important than you think!
When burning for the first time allow the candle to burn for at least 2-3 hours or until the wax melts from edge to edge. This will prevent tunneling and create a "memory ring".

Most important - Allow yourself some joy!
