Our Standards

Our Standards

Terra & Light is built on thoughtful choices — not shortcuts. Every candle is made with care, clarity, and respect for people and planet.

Wax
We use responsibly sourced, non-GMO soy wax. Not all soy is created equal, and we choose ours for its clean burn, quality, and lower environmental impact.

Fragrance
Our fragrance oils are carefully selected to meet strict safety standards. All are:

  • Phthalate-free
  • Paraben-free
  • Vegan and cruelty-free

We prioritise scent integrity, performance, and safety over trends.

Vegan & cruelty-free
Terra & Light candles contain no animal-derived ingredients and are never tested on animals.

Packaging
We use recyclable and reusable packaging wherever possible, avoiding unnecessary plastic and excess materials.

Sourcing
We prioritise suppliers based in the UK and Europe to reduce transport impact and support responsible production.

Our standards aren’t perfect — but they are intentional, considered, and always evolving.
