When it comes to filling your home with beautiful fragrance, the type of wax in your melts or candles matters. At Imoscent, we're committed to offering exceptional, eco-friendly products, which is why we use a pure blend of rapeseed and coconut wax for all our candles and wax melts.
If you’re used to paraffin or traditional soy wax, you might be wondering what makes our European-made choice so special. Our pure blend offers a superior experience for both you and the planet:
1. Cleaner Burn and Better Air Quality
Compared to traditional waxes, rapeseed and coconut wax offers a much cleaner experience. Did you know that paraffin wax is a byproduct of the petroleum industry? It can release toxins like benzene and toluene into the air when burned, and is notorious for producing soot, which can discolour walls and furniture.
Rapeseed & Coconut Wax is a natural blend that burns cleanly and slowly, producing virtually no soot. This means a healthier home environment and a fragrance experience free from unwanted air pollutants.
2. Sustainably sourced and Eco-friendly
The environmental impact of your wax choice is huge, and we're proud of our low-impact ingredients:
* Rapeseed (Canola) Wax: Rapeseed is an easily and sustainably grown crop cultivated right here in Europe. Its short transport distance to our home studio significantly reduces our carbon footprint compared to waxes shipped from further away.
* Coconut Wax: This is another highly sustainable option. Coconut trees are very productive, and the harvest of the oil is not usually a major contributor to deforestation.
The Problem with Standard Soy Wax: While it's a natural alternative, a vast amount of commercial soy is imported from overseas and can be linked to deforestation and intensive farming practices. Our blend offers a better, soot-free, and more ethical alternative to standard soy.
3. Excellent Fragrance Throw
The way a wax holds and releases scent is called the scent throw. Our rapeseed and coconut blend excels in both:
* Hot Throw: It releases an intense and consistent aroma when melted, quickly filling your room with fragrance.
* Cold Throw: Even when solid, the wax retains a strong, beautiful scent, making our candles and melts a delight before they're even hot.
Our local commitment
Choosing our rapeseed and coconut wax products isn't just a global environmental choice—it’s a local one, too.
