Why We Choose Coconut & Rapeseed Wax

At Norshire Company, every decision we make is guided by care, for our customers, our products, and the planet. One of the questions we’re often asked is why we use a blend of coconut and rapeseed wax instead of soy wax. It’s a great question, and one we’re always happy to answer.

A cleaner, more sustainable choice

Coconut and rapeseed wax are both 100% natural, renewable, and biodegradable. Our blend is free from palm and soy, two ingredients that are often linked to large-scale deforestation and monoculture farming. By using coconut and rapeseed, we’re choosing a wax that has a smaller environmental footprint and a more sustainable supply chain.

Beautifully clean burns

The coconut and rapeseed blend produces a clean, slow, and even burn with very little soot meaning you can enjoy a purer scent experience without any unwanted smoke. It also holds fragrance exceptionally well, ensuring that every candle or melt fills your space with long-lasting, consistent aroma.

Smooth, creamy texture

From a maker’s point of view, this wax is a dream to work with. It gives our candles and wax melts a beautifully smooth finish and a creamy texture that looks just as luxurious as it feels. That perfect surface you see on top of our candles? That’s thanks to the natural stability of coconut and rapeseed wax.

Kind to homes and the planet

Choosing a wax that aligns with our values matters to us. We want you to light your Norshire candle knowing that it’s been made with thought and care for both your home and the wider world.

So next time you light your candle, you can feel confident that behind the scent you love is a cleaner, more sustainable wax that helps make a small, positive difference.
