Why We Choose Vegan Natural Waxes for our Candles & Wax Melts
When it comes to creating beautiful home fragrance products, the wax we use matters.
At Nero Bianco, every candle and wax melt is hand-poured in Lichfield using carefully chosen wax blends - selected not just for their performance, but for their environmental and ethical integrity.
Clean-Burning, Vegan & Toxin-Free
Our coconut and rapeseed wax blend, used in all Nero Bianco candles, is completely vegan, cruelty-free, and free from genetically modified materials. This blend burns cleanly and evenly, without producing harmful toxins or soot - making it a safer choice for your home and loved ones.
Unlike paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum, coconut and rapeseed wax is plant-based and biodegradable. It also holds fragrance beautifully, delivering a rich, long-lasting scent throw that fills your space without overwhelming it.
The Power of Coconut & Rapeseed
Coconut wax is known for its slow, clean burn and excellent scent diffusion. Rapeseed wax, grown in Europe, is a sustainable crop with a smaller carbon footprint compared to other plant-based waxes.
Together, they create a luxurious, creamy wax that allows for a longer burn time and a more even melt pool - ensuring every candle looks as good as it smells.
This combination also means you can enjoy your Nero Bianco candles longer, without tunnelling or wasted wax.
Why Soy Wax for Wax Melts?
Our wax melts are made with 100% soy wax — a plant-based alternative known for its ability to hold fragrance oils exceptionally well.
Soy wax melts at a lower temperature than other waxes, making it ideal for use in burners, while still delivering a consistent, full-bodied fragrance.
Soy wax is biodegradable, vegan-friendly, and sourced from renewable soybeans. Its natural composition ensures a smooth melt and excellent scent throw without the need for additives or enhancers.
Sustainability at the Heart
We’re proud to use waxes that are not only high-performing but also eco-conscious.
Our commitment to sustainable materials is part of our wider Nero Bianco ethos - to craft timeless, minimal-luxury home fragrance products that are as gentle on the planet as they are on your senses.
Experience the Difference
Whether you’re lighting one of our hand-poured candles or melting a seasonal wax melt, you’ll feel the difference that comes from clean, vegan wax blends.
It’s better for your home. Better for the planet. And just one more reason to fall in love with Nero Bianco.
