When it comes to candles, not all wax is created equal. At César & Cruz, we’re not just about beautiful scents; we’re all about crafting products that are good for you and the planet and made to last. That’s why we’ve chosen a wax blend that combines the best of beeswax, coconut, rapeseed, and soy wax. Each type of wax in this blend plays a specific role, creating candles that burn cleaner, longer, and, let’s face it, just better. Here’s why this wax blend is our secret sauce.
1. Beeswax: The Natural Powerhouse
Beeswax is like the gold standard in the candle world, and for good reason. Not only does it burn longer than many other waxes, but it also releases negative ions when heated, helping to purify the air in your space. Think of it as the candle version of a tiny air purifier.
Beyond its functional benefits, beeswax is a natural, renewable resource. Our beeswax comes from ethical sources that support beekeepers and their essential work in protecting bee populations. Beeswax brings a naturally sweet hint of honey to our fragrance blends, adding warmth to each scent, while its soft yellow tone enhances the candles without the need for synthetic dyes
2. Coconut Wax: The Clean-Burning Star
Coconut wax might not be as widely known, but it’s a superstar in the eco-friendly candle world. Why? It’s one of the cleanest-burning waxes out there, producing virtually no soot, which is a win for your home and your lungs. Coconut wax also holds fragrance exceptionally well, so when you light a César & Cruz candle, you’re guaranteed an amazing scent throw that fills the room.
Coconut wax is also sustainable. Derived from coconuts, one of the planet's most renewable crops, it leaves a small carbon footprint, making it a perfect addition to our eco-friendly ethos.
3. Rapeseed Wax: The European Champion
Rapeseed wax is another eco-conscious choice that we love. It’s sourced locally from Europe, keeping our supply chain short and sweet. This wax has a beautifully smooth texture and burns slowly, giving you more time to enjoy your candle.
What’s more, rapeseed wax is entirely vegan and cruelty-free, aligning with our commitment to creating products that are as kind to animals as they are to the environment.
4. Soy Wax: The Classic You Can Count On
Soy wax has earned its place in the candle world for being a clean-burning, renewable alternative to paraffin. It’s made from soybeans, which means it’s biodegradable and derived from a renewable resource. Soy wax is known for its even, slow burn, and when combined with the other waxes in our blend, it helps our candles maintain their shape and structure beautifully.
One of the reasons we love soy wax is its eco-friendliness. It’s a sustainable choice that doesn’t involve harmful chemicals and burns with minimal soot, keeping your indoor air quality in check.
Why This Blend Works Like Magic
So why do we mix these waxes instead of sticking to just one? Simple: balance. Each wax has its strengths, and when combined, they create the perfect candle-making alchemy. Here’s the magic formula:
Cleaner burn: Beeswax and coconut wax help minimise soot, making our candles healthier for you and your home.
Longer burn time: Beeswax and rapeseed wax contribute to a longer burn, meaning your favourite César & Cruz candles last longer.
Amazing scent throw: Coconut wax and soy wax hold onto fragrances beautifully, so each candle fills your space with its scent without overpowering it.
Sustainability: We’re committed to using ingredients that are good for you and the planet. By blending waxes like rapeseed, coconut, and soy, we ensure that each candle aligns with our eco-friendly values.
The Result: A Candle You Can Feel Good About
At César & Cruz, it’s never just about a pretty candle (though, let’s be honest, they do look great). It’s about creating a product that combines craftsmanship, sustainability, and a lot of heart. By blending beeswax, coconut, rapeseed, and soy wax, we’ve ensured every César & Cruz candle burns bright, smells divine, and leaves the planet a little better off than we found it.
Next time you light one of our candles, you’ll know it’s not just wax—it’s the perfect blend of nature’s best.
