What Makes Our Candles Eco-Friendly & Sustainable ?

A simple, honest guide from Whipandwick 

Let’s be real everyone loves a good-smelling room. But more and more people today want eco-friendly candles, clean ingredients, and products that don’t harm the planet. And honestly? Same.

At Whipandwick, we make candles that look good, smell good, and feel good for your space and the environment. No toxins, no guilt, no extra drama.

Here’s a super simple breakdown of what makes our candles actually eco-friendly, sustainable, and safe for everyday use.

 1. 100% Natural Soy Wax  No Nasties

We only use soy wax, which comes from plants (yay nature ).
It’s cleaner, slower, and safer than paraffin wax.

Why soy wax is the main character:

  • Biodegradable & eco-friendly

  • Non-toxic (safe for babies, pets, everyone)

  • Burns longer = more value

  • Doesn’t leave that weird black smoke

Basically, soy wax = the soft girl of waxes.

 2. Clean, Phthalate-Free Fragrances

Your room should smell good without giving you a headache.
We use safe, toxin-free, IFRA-certified fragrance oils that create a gentle, soothing aroma.

What this means for you:

  • No harmful chemicals

  • Better indoor air quality

  • Strong but not overpowering scent

  • Everyday-safe for your home

 3. Cotton Wicks That Burn Clean

Our wicks are made of 100% cotton  no lead, no zinc, no extra nonsense.

This means:

  • No black soot

  • Stable flame

  • Cleaner burn from start to finish

 4. Reusable Glass Jars (Cute + Sustainable)

This is one of our favs.
After your candle is done, just clean the jar and reuse it.

Ideas for reuse:

  • Mini planter 

  • Makeup brush holder

  • Desk organizer

  • Refill with wax

  • Aesthetic decor

Sustainability but make it cute.

 5. Planet-Friendly Packaging

We keep our packaging simple, recyclable, and plastic-free as much as possible.

We use:

  • Kraft paper

  • Recyclable cardboard

  • Eco-safe fillers

Because the planet deserves soft touches too.

 6. Hand-Poured in Small Batches

Every candle is hand-poured, not mass-produced.
Small-batch = better quality, less waste, more love in each jar 

 7. Longer Burn Time = Better Value

Soy wax naturally burns slower.
 So you get more hours, more fragrance, and more cosy moments without burning through your wallet.

 8. Safe for Kids, Pets & Daily Use

Because our candles are made with natural and clean ingredients, they’re safe for:

  • Pets

  • Kids

  • Sensitive noses

  • People with allergies

No toxins. No heavy chemicals. Just good vibes.

 Why Eco-Friendly Candles Actually Matter

Choosing sustainable candles means:

  • Cleaner indoor air

  • Lower carbon footprint

  • Less waste

  • More mindful living

  • Supporting ethical production

Small changes create big impact  and your candle can be one of those small changes.

 It’s how we choose to create with awareness, responsibility, and love.
