Natural eco-resin coconut rapeseed wax

Why We Use Coconut Rapeseed Wax in Our Candles

Susan O' Riordan

At Melt Therapy, every detail is intentional — including the wax we choose to burn in your home.

We use a blend of coconut and rapeseed wax in all of our candles, and we think it's one of the best decisions we've made. Here's why.

It burns cleaner

Unlike paraffin wax, which is petroleum-based, coconut rapeseed wax is natural and produces significantly less soot. That means cleaner air in your home and a purer scent experience.

It holds scent beautifully

Natural waxes have an exceptional scent throw — meaning the fragrance fills your space evenly and lingers longer. You'll notice the difference from the moment you light the wick.

It's better for the planet

Rapeseed is grown right here in Europe, making it a sustainable, low-carbon choice. Coconut wax is biodegradable and renewable. Together, they're a wax blend we're proud to stand behind.

It complements our refillable vessels

Our candles are designed to be refilled — not thrown away. A premium natural wax deserves a premium vessel, and together they make a ritual worth repeating.

Slow down. Breathe deeply. That's the Melt Therapy way.
