Waxes Used In Quaver& Lyric Products
WAX BLEND
Our rapeseed and mineral wax blend creates a beautiful, very white candle, though some darker fragrance oils like "Dark Honey and Tobacco" may result in a lovely cream hue. This premium blend, favoured by many top-tier candle brands, delivers an exceptionally stable and clean flame. This wax blend provides the longest burn times (approximately 50 hours for the 30cl candle) of all our container waxes. Along with excellent scent throw properties which produces a powerful fragrance with less oil needed.
SOY WAX
Our candles and wax melts feature Golden Wax Soy, a premium choice for those seeking a plant-based option. Our supplier responsibly sources this soy, and is on track to guarantee it as 100% verified deforestation-free by 2025.This vegan-friendly wax offers a clean burn, though it does require a bit more fragrance to achieve a robust scent throw and burns a little faster than our rapeseed and mineral blend. (40 hours approximately for a 30cl candle)Consequently, these candles are priced slightly higher and won't burn as long. However, if you prioritize a vegan, plant-based wax for your candle, this is undoubtedly the option we recommend.
PLANT WAX - RAPESEED AND COCONUT BLEND
For a truly natural choice, explore our scented container candles crafted with a luxurious coconut and rapeseed wax blend.This European-blended wax boasts properties similar to soy, but creates an even whiter candle. Crucially, it contains only GMO-free coconut and rapeseed oils, and is completely free from paraffin, soy, palm, beeswax, and synthetic additives. While this is our most premium candle and offers a similar burn time to soy, (approximately 35 hours for a 30cl candle) we wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone seeking a soy-free, plant-based, and vegan-friendly candle experience.
MINERAL WAX
Our pillar candles and wax containers are made from very high quality mineral wax, which holds it own shape to allow free standing forms to be made. It also has a higher melting point meaning that our vases, plant pots and containers will not deform during normal indoor use. However they should not be placed in direct sunlight for example on a south window sill as they will deform in direct strong sunlight. Direct sunlight can also cause the colours to fade. The wax lanterns are also made from mineral wax as the higher melting point allows these lanterns to be lit by the tealights inside a votive glass without melting.
