Vegan wax vs. paraffin

Coconut and Rapeseed Wax: What are you breathing?

At Oficina da Mimi , the choice of raw materials is what sets us apart. While most commercial candles use paraffin (a petroleum derivative that releases toxins), we opt for a 100% plant-based, sustainable, and luxurious alternative.

Our waxes of choice:

• Coconut and Rapeseed Wax (Cup Candles): A creamy blend that allows for an extremely clean and slow burn. Coconut and rapeseed retain fragrance incredibly well, releasing the aroma gradually so your home stays fragrant for much longer.
• Rapeseed Wax (Mold/Figure Candles): For our decorative candles, we use rapeseed wax. It is a robust, eco-friendly, and European wax that allows for perfect detail in our handcrafted pieces without compromising sustainability.

Why choose our vegetable candles?

1. Health: No release of toxic substances or black soot. Safe for the whole family and pets.
2. Performance: They burn slower and more evenly than paraffin (they last up to 50% longer!).
3. Eco-Friendly: Made from renewable and biodegradable sources.

By choosing Oficina da Mimi , you are taking home a product that respects the environment as much as it respects your well-being.
