About

At Petit Vert, we aim to be as natural as possible. Our candles and clothing are made with sustainable materials such as soy wax, and organic cotton. We chose soy wax because it is non-toxic and burns cleaner, producing less soot when lit. It also burns slightly longer, on average 40-50% slower than other paraffin-based waxes, giving you improved value for money.

Plant Based Soy

Soy wax is plant-based and derived from soybean oil making it a more sustainable product. It is also biodegradable allowing it to break down over time and therefore kinder to the planet.

Our soy and fragrance oils are also vegan, and cruelty-free. 

Soy Behaviour

Soy wax does burn differently from paraffin-based waxes. It can be harder to attain a smooth top finish. You can also encounter shrinkage and frosting due to temperature changes. However, this does not affect the candle as it will still burn as beautifully as any other oil-based candle. The trade-off for this temperamental wax is the environmental factors. If you are seeking an environmentally friendly candle then soy wax should be the preferred choice.

Clothing

Our clothing is printed in the UK at a factory that runs on renewable energy. When possible our clothing is made from organic cotton which is also a sustainable material. Our garments are printed to order which means no excessive warehouse stock, and once worn our clothing can be returned to the factory to be remade into further garments, preventing disposal at landfill sites.
