Why we choose rapeseed & coconut wax over soy or paraffin

At Aromachology Studios, every decision we make is driven by our dedication to creating products that are not only beautiful and effective but also kind to both people and the planet. When it came to choosing the wax for our candles, we knew we wanted something that aligned with our values of sustainability, clean ingredients, and luxury. After extensive research and testing, we proudly chose a blend of rapeseed and coconut wax — and here’s why.

Better for the Environment
Unlike paraffin, which is derived from petroleum and contributes to carbon emissions, our rapeseed and coconut wax is entirely plant-based and renewable. Rapeseed (grown extensively in Europe) has a low carbon footprint, requires less intensive farming practices, and supports local agriculture. Coconut, on the other hand, is a high-yield crop that thrives without heavy pesticides or deforestation, making it a more sustainable choice than palm or even soy in many cases.

Cleaner for Your Home and Health
Paraffin wax candles release toxins like toluene and benzene when burned — chemicals also found in diesel fumes. That was never an option for us. Even soy, while plant-based, can come with heavy pesticide use and is often genetically modified. Our rapeseed and coconut blend is free from additives and delivers a clean, slow burn that fills your space with pure, luxurious fragrance without compromising air quality.

Superior Performance
This carefully crafted wax blend holds a higher concentration of fragrance oils, meaning our candles throw scent beautifully both when lit and when resting on your shelf. It also burns evenly, with minimal tunneling, giving you more hours of enjoyment and less waste. The creamy texture of rapeseed and coconut wax also means it looks as indulgent as it smells.

Aligned With Our Values
As a brand rooted in the science of smell — aromachology — we are passionate about how scent can elevate everyday moments. But we believe true luxury never comes at the expense of the environment or your wellbeing. Choosing rapeseed and coconut wax allows us to craft candles that are elegant, effective, and ethically made.

This is more than just a business decision for us — it’s personal. At Aromachology Studios, we started by making these products for our own homes, our own families. We believe you deserve candles that are as safe as they are beautiful, and we’re proud to deliver that promise with every hand-poured vessel.

Thank you for supporting a small business that puts conscious choices first.
