Sustainability & Eco-Friendly Candles – Better for You & the Planet

At Coastal Glow Candles, we believe that luxurious, hand poured candles shouldn’t come at the cost of the environment. Our eco-friendly soy candles offer a clean, toxin-free burn, making them the perfect sustainable home fragrance choice.

From our 100% soy wax formula to our new wildflower seed paper dust covers every aspect of our production is designed with sustainability in mind. Our candles are handcrafted in small batches in Sooke, BC, using ethically sourced ingredients that are safe for both your home and the planet.

Key Sustainability Initiatives:

  • Clean Ingredients: We use 100% natural soy wax, free from paraffin and harmful toxins.

  • Sustainable Packaging: While we strive for completely plastic-free packaging, a small amount of shrink wrap is currently used to preserve the scent of our wax refills. We are actively searching for a sustainable alternative.

  • Handmade & Small Batch: Reducing waste and supporting ethical craftsmanship.

  • New Eco-Friendly Upgrades: Our candle dust covers are now made from wildflower seed paper, allowing you to plant them and grow beautiful flowers. Our wax refills are now wrapped in a certified sustainable paper alternative.

Why Choose Eco-Friendly Candles?

Not all candles are created equal. Many conventional candles contain paraffin wax, which releases harmful toxins when burned. Our eco-friendly candles provide a cleaner, healthier alternative that benefits both your home and the environment.

What Makes Our Candles Better?

  • Non-Toxic Burn – Free from paraffin, phthalates, and synthetic dyes.

  • Cruelty-Free & Vegan – No animal testing, ever.

  • Sustainable Wax Refill Wrapping – Now using a certified eco-friendly paper for wrapping our wax refills!

Handcrafted with Love – Made in small batches for better quality control.

100% Soy Wax – Clean, Non-Toxic & Renewable

We use 100% natural soy wax Candles, a renewable resource derived from soybeans. Unlike paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum, soy wax burns cleaner, lasts longer, and provides a better scent throw.

Benefits of Soy Wax Candles:

  • Cleaner Burn: No black soot or air pollutants.

  • Longer Lasting: Burns up to 50% longer than paraffin.

Better Fragrance Throw: Naturally enhances essential and fragrance oils.

Sustainable Packaging – Thoughtfully Designed for the Planet

We believe that packaging should be as sustainable as the product inside. That’s why we continuously seek out innovative materials that reduce waste and environmental impact.

Our Eco-Friendly Packaging Choices:

  • Glass Jars & Tin Containers: Reusable and recyclable.

  • Kraft Paper & Compostable Wraps: Minimal-waste alternatives.

  • New Wax Refill Packaging: Now wrapped in a certified sustainable paper instead of plastic.

Wildflower Seed Paper Dust Covers: Plant them and watch them grow!

Ethical Sourcing & Handmade with Care

We are committed to ethical sourcing by partnering with sustainable suppliers who uphold fair trade and environmentally responsible practices. Each candle is hand-poured with care, ensuring that every product meets our high standards.

How We Prioritize Ethical Sourcing:

  • Handmade in Small Batches: Supports local artisans and reduces waste.

  • Sustainable Essential Oils & Fragrance Blends: Responsibly sourced, cruelty-free.

Locally Made in Sooke, BC: Supporting the community and reducing carbon footprint.

Candle Refill Program – A Sustainable Way to Enjoy More Glow

Instead of throwing away used candle jars, our refill program lets you reuse them! Simply clean out your empty Coastal Glow candle vessel, choose your scent and refill size, and we’ll send you a wax refill to drop in. It’s an easy way to reduce waste while still enjoying your favorite candles.
