Why coco-soy wax?
Coco-soy candles are designed to burn cleanly with minimal soot and smoke. The soft, less dense wax enhances the fragrance, allowing scents to fill the room more effectively. With a lower melt point, our candles require less heat to burn and provide a longer-lasting experience compared to soy candles.
Eco-friendly practices
At Flame in Vintage, we take pride in our commitment to sustainability. Our vessels are either sustainably sourced or recycled, ensuring that each one has a unique story and can be transformed into something special. In our store, you’ll notice that much of our storage and display space is also recycled or vintage, reflecting our dedication to eco-conscious practices. Additionally, we use paper boxes and bags for packaging your creations, further minimizing our environmental impact.
