What Makes Matty’s Candles’ Wax and Fragrance So Special?

At the heart of every Matty’s Candle lies a premium blend of coconut and rapeseed wax, meticulously hand-poured to ensure a clean, long-lasting, and beautifully scented burn. We specifically choose this sustainable blend for its exceptional performance and eco-friendly credentials. Our commitment extends to ensuring all our candles are vegan, soy-free, and paraffin-free, providing a healthier and more enjoyable experience for our customers. We avoid paraffin wax over indoor air quality concerns. This carefully selected wax blend offers a superior scent throw, meaning our exquisite fragrances fill your space evenly and consistently. Unlike paraffin wax, natural waxes like ours burn cleaner, producing significantly less soot, which contributes to better indoor air quality. Research by organisations like the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) highlights the importance of good indoor air quality, and our choice of wax supports this by minimising harmful emissions [1]. The slower, cooler burn also means your candle lasts longer, offering more hours of enjoyment. Standard 220g candles burn approximately 45 hours when used correctly.

Why Choose Coconut and Rapeseed Wax for Scented Candles?

Our decision to use a coconut and rapeseed wax blend is driven by a commitment to quality, sustainability, and performance. These natural waxes offer a multitude of benefits that align with our brand values and enhance the customer experience: Exceptional Scent Throw: These waxes are renowned for their ability to hold and release fragrance oils effectively, ensuring a rich and consistent aroma throughout the candle’s life. We test every fragrance for cold and hot scent throw. Clean Burning: They burn much cleaner than traditional paraffin waxes, producing minimal soot and contributing to a healthier indoor environment. This aligns with recommendations for reducing indoor air pollutants [2]. Sustainability: Coconut and rapeseed are renewable resources, making them an environmentally responsible choice. We prioritise sourcing materials that have a lower ecological impact. Vegan and Allergen-Free: Our blend is entirely vegan and free from common allergens like soy and paraffin, making our candles accessible and safe for a wider audience. It is a soy-free, paraffin-free, palm-free, beeswax-free, non-GMO blend. * Longer Burn Time: These waxes typically burn slower and cooler, extending the overall burn time of the candle and providing greater value. This combination of benefits ensures that our luxury scented candles deliver not only stunning aesthetics but also a superior, clean, and long-lasting fragrance experience.

What Are Wax Melts and How Do They Work?

Wax melts are a flameless way to enjoy beautiful scents in your home. Unlike traditional candles, they are used in an electric or tealight warmer. This method releases fragrance quickly when warmed, which can make the scent feel stronger than from a candle. We make our wax melts by mixing approximately 10% fragrance oil into our coconut and rapeseed wax blend. This mixture is then poured into rubber moulds and left to set for 24 hours.

How to Safely Use Wax Melts

Safe use of wax melts is paramount. Always use a suitable warmer, ensuring you do not overfill it. Never add water to the wax, and never leave a melting wax warmer unattended. Allow the wax to cool completely before attempting to swap out a melt. Replace a melt once its scent has faded to maintain optimal fragrance diffusion. Remember, we are not vets, so if you have concerns about pets and fragrances, consult your veterinarian. An animal’s nose is far more sensitive than ours, so forcing strong scents on them unnecessarily is not a kind choice.

Why Does Hand-Poured Matter for Scented Candles?

Hand-pouring in small batches is central to our process at Matty’s Candles. Since 2018, we’ve been hand-pouring our creations in Nottingham. This small-batch approach gives us meticulous control over fragrance distribution, wax finish, and quality checks. It ensures that every candle and wax melt meets our high standards before it reaches you. This hands-on method is key to the consistent quality and performance our customers expect from our luxury scented candles.

How Do I Care for My Luxury Scented Candle?

To ensure you enjoy the best possible experience and longevity from your Matty’s Candles luxury scented candle, follow these simple care guidelines: First Burn: Allow the candle to burn until the entire surface of the wax melts to the edges of the vessel. This prevents ‘tunnelling’ and ensures an even burn throughout the candle’s life. Wick Trimming: Before each use, trim the wick to approximately 5mm. Our wicks are zinc-free and lead-free. This promotes a steady flame, reduces smoking, and prevents soot build-up. Burn Duration: Avoid burning the candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Allow the wax to cool and solidify before relighting. Safety: Always place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, direct sunlight, flammable materials, children, and pets. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Let the wax cool before swapping melts. * Vessel Repurposing: Once the candle has reached its end, clean the beautiful vessel. It can be repurposed as a decorative item, a planter, or for storage, extending its life and beauty. Adhering to these steps will maximise the burn time and fragrance diffusion, ensuring a consistently delightful experience.
