Allergy Information & Ingredient Safety

─────────────────────────────────────────

At Build A Candle, we take great care in selecting the ingredients used in every candle we create.

Every component is chosen with quality, performance, and safety in mind to help ensure a beautiful candle experience you can enjoy with confidence.

As with all fragranced products, sensitivities and allergies can vary from person to person, so we recommend reviewing the information below before use.

🕯️ Rapeseed & Coconut Wax

Our candles are made using a blend of rapeseed and coconut wax.

Rapeseed wax is a renewable vegetable wax derived from the rapeseed plant and is considered a more environmentally conscious alternative to paraffin wax. Coconut wax is valued for its smooth finish and excellent fragrance performance.

Our wax blend is:

• biodegradable
• vegan-friendly
• paraffin-free
• palm oil free

These ingredients are generally considered low-irritation and suitable for most users.

Hypoallergenic Information

Rapeseed and coconut wax are generally considered low-allergen waxes. However, allergic reactions or sensitivities can still occur in rare cases.

If irritation develops after contact with wax or fragrance, discontinue use immediately and seek medical advice if necessary.

✨ Fragrance Oils

We use premium-grade fragrance oils that are:

• phthalate-free
• paraben-free
• cruelty-free

Our fragrance oils are carefully selected to provide a balanced, long-lasting scent throw without being overpowering.

Please note that fragrance oils may still contain allergen compounds naturally found within fragrance ingredients.

Fragrance Safety Guidance

• Burn candles in a well-ventilated space
• Avoid inhaling smoke directly
• Do not use candles near drafts or flammable materials
• Never leave burning candles unattended
• Keep away from children and pets

If you are sensitive to fragrance, asthma, or strong scents, we recommend using candles in moderation.

🎨 Mica Powders

Some candles may include mica powders to create colour or subtle shimmer effects.

Mica is a naturally occurring mineral commonly used in cosmetic and decorative products.

Allergy Guidance

If you have known sensitivities to minerals, pigments, or cosmetic powders, please use products with care.

Discontinue use immediately if irritation occurs.
