Lush candles are crafted from a natural, plant-based wax blend designed to be both eco-friendly and entirely vegan. Their unique base ensures a clean burn and aligns with ethical sourcing principles.

Key Ingredients of Lush Candles

The primary components forming the base of Lush candles include a carefully selected blend of natural waxes and oils:
  • Rapeseed Wax: A sustainable and renewable wax derived from rapeseed oil.
  • Coconut Oil: Adds a smooth texture and contributes to the candle's burn quality.
  • Coconut Wax: Another natural wax known for its clean burn and ability to hold fragrance well.
  • Castor Wax: Derived from castor beans, it helps provide structure and stability to the candle.

This combination creates a robust yet natural foundation for their aromatic candles.
