FAQ

Scented Candles

Why are your scented candles different?

We use 100% natural soy wax or a blend of soy wax and coconut wax. Soy wax has a nice, light scent of its own - in contrast to paraffin or beeswax - does not smoke and offers a strong and even scent (scent throw).

Are the candles made with essential oils?

Not directly. The fragrances do contain essential oils, but only in small amounts. High concentrations of essential oils are not suitable for candles! They have a relatively low flash point and can catch fire very easily.

The fragrances are all IFRA (International Fragrance Association) certified and are also suitable for soaps and body products. They are also the most expensive part of our candles. :)

Are the candles produced in Switzerland?

The candles yes. The materials (wax, scents, containers) are imported from England, Germany, Ireland. We mix, pour and finish the candles in our small studio. Everything is made in small batches and so the products don't stay on our shelves for long.

Can you buy the candles in larger quantities for resale or for special occasions (e.g. wedding) at a discount?

Generally yes. Just send a short email to hello@thecurated.ch.
