A FEW IMPORTANT WORDS FROM POTTERS CROUCH:

No soy allergens

As a company we took the decision not to use any soy waxes in our products. The worlds over use of soy is causing an increasing percentage of the population to develop allergies to it and soy is on the national register of allergens as a result.The process to convert a bean to a wax also involves the use of nickel which is another allergen so it’s not for us. We stick to using a medical and edible grade of wax which is classed as hypoallergenic and is actually what is used on the back of allergy testing strips for this reason.

Vegan friendly

Historically many perfumes used to contain animal secretions and many waxes were made from tallow (animal fats) and some countries still use them today. We feel it is not necessary in this day and age as with the advances in technology it is possible to create a copy of a ‘scent’ by combining other scent molecules together, so we don’t need the help of a Beavers vanilla smelling butt thank you! There are also plenty of natural waxes readily available. We choose not to use beeswax in our products as this is what bees use to store their honey and house their young so we’d rather not disturb them as our bees need all the help they can get. Without bees we couldn’t bring you our lovely fragrances, we like to think of bees as being little tiny perfumers.

Cruelty free

Being cruelty free is very important to us and we take great care to make sure all the ingredients we use are not tested on animals. As a company we will not work with any organisation that uses animal testing and we do not ship our products to countries who insist on animal testing. We have a long history of being animal lovers here from Henry and Tilly our office dogs to Freddo the garden frog, Drew our visiting shrew who steals dog biscuits and Brian our barn snail who comes out to party every night leaving a trail behind him …we wouldn’t hurt a fly!

No palm oil

We don’t use palm oil in any of the fragranced products we make simply because there are other waxes which do a far better job so it is not needed. Of course, we also care about the environment and sustainability as well so if there is a better alternative, we will always use it! Historically we have made soaps which have contained a tiny amount of CSPO or RSPO certified sustainable palm oil grown by independent farmers which does not contribute to deforestation or the loss of wildlife habitats but helps to support the farmers and their families and educate people about the problem with non-sustainable palm.

Hell no…No gmo

We believe that not enough is known about gmo products yet and their long-term environmental effects, so for now we will steer clear of them until we are told with absolute certainty, they have no detrimental effects on the environment and we won’t grow a third arm because of them… although that might come in handy! (see what we did there).

Care Instructions

To ensure your candle burns evenly all the way down please burn for 4 hours on the first burn until you have a nice wide melt pool. It is recommended you burn your candle for no longer than 4 hours at a time allowing wax to cool and reset before relighting. Please follow all safety instructions on the product label and retain for future reference.
