All about our Vegan Friendly Products

Transparency is Key at Ettovi Candle Company

At Ettovi Candle Company, we have made a clear decision: we want to be an ethical business that helps protect the earth. As part of that mission, we are phasing out the use of traditional paraffin products. Standard paraffin wax is not environmentally friendly, as it is derived from non-renewable petroleum and contributes to carbon dioxide emissions when burned.

In addition, we do not condone the use of animal-derived ingredients in our candles. For this reason, we only stock products that fully align with our values. We aim to use biodegradable and recyclable materials, and our candles are packaged in recyclable containers wherever possible.

We will not stock any candle unless we have 100% verified that it is vegan and made from approved wax sources.

Our Vegan-Friendly Waxes:

  • Mineral and Vegetable Wax – available

  • Soy Wax – available

  • Coconut, Candelilla, Carnauba, Rapeseed & Sunflower Wax – sourcing in progress

Tealights:
Our tealights are made from vegan paraffin wax sourced from a company that ensures it comes from a renewable and ethical source. This wax does not contain stearic acid, an animal by-product found in many conventional candles, making it a cleaner and cruelty-free alternative. We also use only essential oils for fragrance—never synthetic scents—making them a safer and more natural choice.

Beeswax Notice:
Most beeswax is sourced from China, which does not meet our ethical standards. We are working to source UK-produced ethical beeswax, so beeswax products are not listed as vegan at this time.

Simmering Granules:
Our simmering granules are made from natural crystal salt and are sourced from a UK-based company. They are from a fully vegan source and scented with plant-based essential oils.

If you have any questions or specific needs, we’re always happy to help.

Thank you for supporting conscious, transparent, and sustainable choices with Ettovi.
