Reusable Candles
Most mainstream candles are made from paraffin wax, which is a by product of the petroleum industry. When burned, paraffin can release toxins like benzene (the same stuff found in car exhaust). We use 100% natural soy wax. It’s plant-based, renewable, and burns much cleaner. You’ll notice no black soot on your jars and a much slower, longer-lasting burn, meaning you get more "glow" for your money.
In short: no. Many brands use "Soy Blend" as a marketing trick. These candles are often mostly paraffin with just enough soy to put it on the label. Even a small amount of paraffin means you are still burning petroleum in your home. We promise zero paraffin, just pure, 100% soy wax, every time.
"Fragrance" or "Parfum" is often a cocktail of synthetic chemicals and phthalates (hormone disruptors). They are designed to be loud and artificial. We use only pure, botanical essential oils. They don't just smell better; they offer real aromatherapy benefits. Whether it’s the calming effect of French Lavender or the focus-boosting power of Forest Mint, our scents are designed to support your well-being, not just mask a room.
Synthetic candles often use "boosters" to create an intense, sometimes headache-inducing scent. Because we use pure essential oils, our candles provide a natural, sophisticated aroma. It’s like a breath of fresh air - present and mood-boosting, but never overwhelming.
It’s part of our ethos! We don’t believe non-toxic living should be a luxury. By skipping fancy designer markups and keeping our packaging simple and sustainable, we can put the quality into the wax and the profit into rewilding the British countryside.
In short: we’ve grown up, but our values haven't changed.
When we started as The Cheap Candle Company, our goal was to prove that you shouldn't have to pay a "luxury tax" for clean, botanical scents. We are proud to be more affordable than most natural soy wax and essential oil brands on the market, and that isn't changing.
However, we realised that the word "Cheap" didn't do justice to the premium, hand-poured ingredients inside our jars, or the massive mission we’re on together. We found that for some, the name suggested lower quality, when in reality, we use the finest plant-based ingredients available.
Rewild & Co better reflects who we are today:
The same affordable luxury: You’ll still get the same fantastic, clean ingredients at the price point you love.
The same mission: We are still 100% committed to rewilding the British countryside and creating community wild spaces.
A name that grows with us: As we expand our rewilding efforts, we wanted a name that feels as natural and grounded as the landscapes we are fighting to protect.
We’re the same team, with the same heart - just a new name that’s as wild as our ambitions.
