The Sustainability of Our Candles: Behind the Wax and Wick

At JRCC, we believe that luxury and sustainability should go hand in hand. That’s why we’ve carefully curated every element of our candles—from the wax to the wick—to ensure a clean, eco-friendly burn without compromising on quality or performance. If you’re a candle aficionado or just someone who loves filling their space with beautiful, non-toxic fragrance, let’s take a deep dive into what makes our candles a more sustainable choice.

Coconut Apricot Crème Wax: A Superior Alternative to Soy

Creamy and smooth, responsibly sourced coconut apricot creme wax used exclusively for our luxury candles.  Burns slow and even, never giving off soot with proper candle care! Burning for over 50 hours in our 14oz candles - refillable vessels.

Our candles are crafted using Coconut Apricot Crème Wax, a luxurious blend that outperforms traditional soy wax in both sustainability and performance. Unlike soy, which many people are allergic to and can produce an inconsistent burn, coconut apricot wax is hypoallergenic, burns cleaner, and lasts longer. The creamy texture of this wax allows for an even melt pool, reducing wasted wax and ensuring your candle lasts as long as possible. Plus, our wax blend is free from parabens, phthalates, and toxins, making it safer for both you and the environment.

FSC-Certified Wooden Wicks: A Clean Burn with a Cozy Crackle

We don’t just stop at the wax. Our candles feature FSC-certified wooden wicks, which means they come from responsibly managed forests. These wicks offer a cleaner, more even burn compared to cotton wicks, while also producing a gentle, soothing crackle—like a mini fireplace in a jar. Wooden wicks also create a stronger scent throw, allowing you to experience the full depth of your candle’s fragrance from the very first burn to the last.

  • Wick Trimmer: Keeping your wooden wick trimmed to 1/8 inch prevents excessive soot and ensures an even burn.

  • Wick Snuffer: Extinguish your candle without smoke or mess, preserving its scent.

  • Rechargeable Arc Lighter: Ditch disposable lighters for this flameless, long-lasting alternative—because sustainability should be effortless.

Refill, Reuse, Repeat: Sustainable Luxury

We take sustainability a step further by offering refillable candles, room sprays, and fabric dusters. Instead of tossing out your beautiful candle vessel, bring it back for a refill at 30% less than the original price. This not only reduces waste but also allows you to continue enjoying your favorite scents without repurchasing an entirely new candle. The same goes for our room sprays and fabric dusters, keeping your home fresh while minimizing environmental impact.

The Perfect Pairing: Candle Accessories That Elevate Your Experience

 


A sustainable candle deserves the right tools to maximize its burn time and longevity. That’s why we offer wick trimmers, snuffers, and rechargeable arc lighters—three essentials every candle lover needs:
