Enjoy exotic island breezes with these delightful CocoLush coconut wax candles. Handcrafted by gently cooling the most luxurious warm pure natural Pacific Island wild harvested virgin Organic Coconut oil and NZ beeswax. With their luxurious creamy crystalline appearance and feel, these candles are extremely clean burning and will burn brighter for longer without adding any toxins to the air – and leave nothing behind but a yearning for a beautiful sunset by the sea and the sand between your toes.
Enjoy up to 45 hours of pure aromatic indulgence with these medium (200ml) CocoLush coconut wax candles!

Independent lab tests show that coconut wax candles burn up to 90% cleaner than a 100% Soy wax candle of the same size and fragrance. CocoLush coconut wax candles hold a very high volume of fragrance and have a fantastic fragrance throw (even when they are not burning!).The coconut wax doesn't interfere with a fragrance's true notes and character the way soy does.
To get the most out of your candle:
  • When lighting your candle for the first time, please allow the candle to burn all the way to the edge of the glass. This improves scent throw and extends burning time.
  • Ensure the wick of the candle is 5-7mm long, before and during usage. This prevents carbon residue (black) on the inside of the glass, and smoking (our candles are very clean burning and smoke very little, if at all, if burned correctly).
  • If there is residue on the inside of the glass; blow out the candle, allow to cool and simply wipe away with a slightly damp cloth or paper towel.
  • Avoid using in a draught, as this decreases burn time, causes uneven burning and reduced scent throw.
  • If you want to avoid any smoke when extinguishing the candle, use a wick dipper or snuffer, rather than blowing it out.
  • Use the lid to cover the candle when not in use, preventing dust build up, and containing the fragrance.​

Wild Virgin Coconut Oil

CocoLush uses 100% pure and natural Pacific Island Wild Virgin Organic coconut oil. Many village communities throughout the Pacific, from Rabaul in the North to Vanuatu, Samoa and Fiji in the East, benefit from your decision to purchase CocoLush candles made with coconut oil harvested wild from our blue Pacific Island neighbours.

Our coconut oil is wild harvested and cold wet pressed, to retain the seductive fragrance and taste of coconut oil. Produced by Pacific Island families using traditional extraction methods, our Wild Virgin coconut oil meets Australia and New Zealand food safety standards (although our candles smell good enough to eat, we do not recommend that you eat them!).

​No chemicals whatsoever are used in the extraction of our coconut oil, unlike soy which uses the volatile solvent Hexane (which is a toxic and highly-polluting petrochemical compound) to extract the soy wax. Hexane is classified as an air pollutant by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and as a neurotoxin by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). No genetic modification, no forest clearing, no petrochemical compounds, no toxic pesticides, herbicides, or agrichemicals, no bleaching or deordorising - our coconut oil really is the most pure and luxurious.

Our Coconut oil is certified European pharmaceutical grade and contains no additives, contaminants or trans-fats. It is not hydrogenated (unlike Soy). The process of hydrogenation produces trans-fatty acids, which are VERY bad for our health. Hydrogenated, or partially hydrogenated oils, should be avoided wherever possible.

Beeswax - Nature's Air Purifier!

CocoLush uses 100% pure New Zealand Beeswax. Our Beeswax has a lovely sweet fresh clean fragrance, characteristic of honey, and is unbleached, leaving it a light yellow colour reminiscent of pollen.

Pure crude cappings beeswax is gently melted over clean un-treated bore water and is then allowed to settle. The molten beeswax is then micro filtered to remove all impurities. The production of beeswax does not in anyway harm the environment, and bees are of paramount importance to the ecology of the entire world.

Beeswax candle fuel is the only fuel that actually releases negative ions when it burns, which not only helps remove pollution from the air but increases the ratio of negative ions to positive ions, the ideal and necessary scenario for clean air. Pollen, dust, dirt, pollutants, and any other junk in the air all carry a positive charge, and that is how they can be suspended in the air. The negative ions released from burning beeswax negate the positive charge of air contaminants, and the neutralized ions are sucked back into the burning candle or fall to the ground. ​​

100% Cotton Wicks

CocoLush uses high quality USA made eco wicks, which are one of the best in the industry. They are coated with beeswax and feature a pure cotton braid, designed to 'self trim' by bending at the tip while burning, resulting in more complete combustion and a cleaner, self trimming burn. They are zinc, lead and paraffin free.

Luxury Fine Fragrances

CocoLush offers a selection of exceptional scents using only the highest quality ingredients. CocoLush uses high quality premium pure natural botanicals blended with skin safe fragrances sourced from fragrance houses in the USA, that are on a par with fine fragrance (not your typical mid range candle fragrance). Some fragrances revitalise and others relax. Unlike some inferior products, our fragrances do not contain any phthalates, paraffin or UV inhibitors. 
 
Our fragrance suppliers are companies that are members of the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials and the International Fragrance Association. Because our suppliers are members of these organisations, they have access to all the research, codes, and standards for the candle fragrance industry, and they abide by those codes.

We are committed to sustainable business through sourcing products that are socially acceptable and environmentally sound. Our fragrances and products are not, and never will be, tested on animals.

 Recyclable Glass Containers & Lids

The quality of the jars used for CocoLush candles is second to none. Made in the USA, high quality raw materials combined with the worlds leading manufacturing processes ensure a seamless, high strength product that is both elegant and tough. Unlike inferior copies these jars are the real deal and not only look and feel better but are far less susceptible to breakage. Our high quality glass lids fit snuggly into the jars. For our wooden lids we chose rubberwood, not only for its good looks, but because it is one of the most environmentally friendly options. Rubberwood is a light-colored hardwood obtained from the Pará rubber tree, the tree is harvested for wood when it is no longer useful for latex production; as the trees are felled new crops are planted. 
 
And best of all, all our containers can be re-used for tea lights, vases, or storing things like pulse's or cotton buds. Even the lids can be turned upside down and used for tea lights. CocoLush uses the Opaque White Jars for the majority of their candles. The flame literally glows through the jar and the translucent coconut wax.

Packaging

CocoLush candles are all about the candle! We have kept our packaging to a minimum, as we want to be as earth-friendly as possible and avoid contributing unnecessarily to the landfill.

If you are giving a candle as a gift, this enables you to present it in your own personalised gift box or bag, that the recipient may re-use.
