How are your terrarium candles made?

How are your terrarium candles made?

At leaves and prickles, each candle is lovingly handcrafted in small batches. From the natural ingredients to the eco-friendly packaging, every step is designed to ensure quality and sustainability. Here's a closer look at how your candles come to life:

Soy Wax

I use natural soy wax as the foundation of all my candles. Here’s why:

  • Non-toxic and Cleaner Burning: Soy wax burns cleaner, reducing the risk of triggering allergies.

  • Eco-friendly: Soy wax is biodegradable, making it a more sustainable choice.

  • Vegan-Friendly: No animal products are used, and the manufacturing process involves no animal testing.

This ensures that each candle is not only safe to enjoy but also kind to the planet.

Fragrance Oils

Quality is a priority for me. That’s why I carefully select only high-quality, cruelty-free fragrance oils to scent my candles. These oils create beautiful, long-lasting aromas while aligning with my commitment to ethical practices.

Packaging

I’m passionate about reducing waste, so I’ve designed my packaging to be as eco-friendly as possible:

  • Recyclable Boxes: Each candle is packed in a sleek white paper box that’s fully recyclable.

  • Eco-Conscious Shipping: All orders are shipped in either paper cardboard boxes or biodegradable mailing bags.

Supporting Global Reforestation

Every order placed online contributes to global reforestation and habitat restoration efforts. A portion of each purchase goes toward planting trees, helping to restore natural habitats and combat climate change.


Every candle I create reflects my love for nature and commitment to sustainability. When you light one of my candles, you’re not just enjoying a beautiful scent—you’re also supporting a small business that values the planet as much as you do. Thank you for making eco-friendly choices with Leaves and Prickles!
