our story
Established in 2017, Ecológica Candle Co. was born through the marriage of two passions: beautiful fragranced homewares, and a growing need to foster sustainable living and conscious choices.
We feel that while being Earth-aware, style and home comforts need not be compromised. We need to love the earth, but it’s ok to love ourselves too.
The mountains are our home, and are a powerful ever-present force of nature, reminding us that the environment is so much bigger than we are.
All our candles are meticulously hand-crafted in small batches, with great thought and care, in the beautiful mountain town of Wānaka, New Zealand. We take inspiration from the Danish Hygge concept - creating fragranced goods that support the feeling of coziness and contentment in the home. Here in the Southern Alps of Wānaka NZ we experience crisp alpine winters, that lend themselves to candle light, cups of tea and comfy blankets.
wax tale
We prioritise creating as little waste as possible. 100% post consumer recycled glass containers are used for our candle containers, as well as either recycled or home (and commercially) compostable packaging materials.
Our candle wax is 100% natural soy wax. By choosing a natural candle wax product such as soy, you can avoid the release of harmful fumes into your home (such as those associated with use of paraffin wax candles). Our suppliers source their soy beans from Brazil where the beans used are sustainably harvested.
We do not use any additives such as stabilisers in our candle wax, all our candles contain soy wax with a blend of either fragrance oils or essential oils, nothing else. Every individual candle is uniquely hand crafted.
Soy wax has a long burn time, allowing you the customer, maximum enjoyment from your candle. See our candle care tips to get the most from your Ecológica candle.
