What are Neuve candles made of?
Our candles are made using our own formulated premium blend of soy wax, which are free from palm contents. They are delicately scented with locally sourced, IFRA (International Fragrance Association) approved and certified fragrance oils.
And yes, we are 100% vegan and cruelty free.
Why do you choose soy blend wax?
Soy wax is derived from soybean oil which are all natural vegan ingredients. These oils are put through a process called the hydrogenation process to make it solid at room temperature and turned it into the wax we use everyday at our Perth studio. This type of wax is preferred and chosen by us as they are a renewable and biodegradable alternative to paraffin wax.
Additionally, soy wax gives our candles a gorgeous creamy finish and has a much slower burn rate which allows you to enjoy our candles for longer! And did you know they can easily be cleaned with hot soapy water as soy wax have a low melting point?
Are Neuve candles scented using fragrance oils or essential oils?
During our months of research, we thought about using essential oils to scent our candles because of the idea of it being natural.
However, we couldn't justify using essential oils for our candles as they generally have a poorer scent throw compared to fragrance oils and we would be limited to plant-based scented candles only as they are not as versatile as fragrance oils.
The poor scent throw is caused by essential oils degrading when being exposed to heat which means that it loses its aromatherapy properties. Some essential oils can also become toxic when burned. For these reasons, we decided to avoid scenting our candles with essential oils.
Are fragrance oils not good for your health because it's synthetic?
Fragrance oils are synthetic oils developed for their scent and they are commonly used in home fragrances and body products.
At Neuve, we ensure that all of our premium fragrances are sourced from verified suppliers and certified by the IFRA (International Fragrance Association), which of course means that they are free from the nasties such as parabens and phthalates, and completely safe.
Our customers never had any issues with headaches or migraines as we select our fragrance oils very carefully. Feel free to check out our product reviews on our website.
