We use only the best highest quality 100% natural CocoSoy Wax.

It is Biodegradable, free from pesticides, and herbicides. Composed of non-petroleum renewable resources and derived from 100% natural soybean and Coconut oils. It contains no genetically modified materials. Our wax or products is not, and never will be, tested on animals.

Lee & Lou candles are made with 100% natural CocoSoy Wax. Soy is non-toxic, burns cleaner then other paraffin wax candles and therefore far better for the environment and yourself. They produce 95% less soot then paraffin candles, and far less smoke. They burn at a safer, cooler temperature, unlike paraffin candles – which have an extremely high & dangerous burn temp.

The CocoSoy wax is much easier to clean up, as it is water soluble – just use warm soapy water to clean any spillage.

We use both, natural wood wicks & lead free cotton wicks in our candles.

Our wood wicks have been sustainably sourced, for every 100 wicks we buy, another tree gets planted!

What to do for the first light of your brand new candle -

When lighting your Lee & Lou candle for the first time, it is very important to allow the wax to melt all the way out to the sides of the vessel. This will ensure a consistent burn each and every time. If the flame is extinguished before the melted wax has reached the sides of the vessel, this will become an ongoing problem for the candle, causing what’s known as “tunnelling” where the candle burns deeper and deeper down the center of the vessel leaving a rim of wax around the edge of the jar and eventually the candle will suffocate & wont stay lit anymore.

Relighting tip -

Each time you relight your candle, always pinch or trim the black fine ashy part off the wick, this will always give you the best flame! Your candle will thank you for it...

The recommended maximum burn time of a Lee & Lou candle is for no longer then 4 hours.

For added safety, ensure the flame is extinguished as the wick nears the base of the jar or as the wax is close to being completely melted. At this point the glass can become extremely hot and there is a risk that the glass can become so hot that it can damage furniture beneath the base or even crack. We always recommend placing a burning candle on something to protect the surface beneath like a coaster, or marble tile etc.

Do not burn a candle near curtains, clothing, or anything else flammable.

Never leave a burning candle unattended.

Place your Lee & Lou candle on a stable and heat-resistant surface.

Keep out of the reach of children and pets.

Place burning candles at least 3 inches apart from one another.

Always burn in a draft free area.

If you blow your candle out before the wax has melted all the way to the outside edges of the jar, your candle may start "tunnelling"

If this happens, this can result in the candle forming a pattern of tunnelling, leaving unmelted wax around the edges which can effect the fragrance throw and drown the wick.

Before lighting your candle, always make sure you have sufficient time to leave the candle lit before having to extinguish it to allow the melt pool to reach the edges.

Always store your Lee & Lou candle in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight.

As CocoSoy wax is a 100% natural and biodegradable product, it is extremely easy to clean any spills. Allow the wax to completely harden and then remove any larger pieces of wax. It is water-soluble so therefore it is very easy to clean the remaining residue with hot soapy water.

Each Lee & Lou candle variety has a different burn time.

Burn times range from 50 hours for our smaller candles, to over 200 hour burn times for our Vase Candles. (the burn times for each individual candle can be found in the information section on each product listing)

All Lee & Lou candles are hand poured with a natural product and not massed produced.

Therefore there may be the occasional imperfection on our candles – this is how you know they are handmade with 100% natural CocoSoy wax, unlike other mass-produced candles!

CocoSoy wax will sometimes release excess oil during sudden warm temperature changes, this is knowing as “sweating” and can happen in the warmer climates, sweating is also known to happen when shipping across the country. This will not affect the candle in any way, and shouldn’t reappear after the initial burn.

We make every effort to ensure consistency with our candles; each and every one is unique. This is not a fault of the candle – simply a characteristic of natural CocoSoy wax.

No, wood wicks do not need to be trimmed like cotton wicks do. But we do advise you to "pinch" the soft ashy part of the wood wick off prior to each use to ensure a strong even flame each time.

We would love you to recycle & reuse our vessels once empty!

Our vessels are much too pretty to throw away!

Once you have finished burning your Lee & Lou candle, completely remove the left over wax and wick holder - just wash with warm soapy water.

These vessels are a unique way to store everyday household items including cotton wool, make-up brushes, or as a vase for flowers etc.

Just use your imagination…

Absolutely! We have refill inserts available for our Bloom Candle jars. Unfortunately we are unable to refill our Vase & Bowl candles.

Unscrew the collar, remove the plastic stopper from the glass bottle, then replace the collar and insert the sticks until they are fully immersed in the fragrance.

There is no need to flip your sticks in your Lee & Lou Diffuser!

We use sticks made of woven fibre, so they won't dry out like timber sticks do, hence no need to flip.

But if you like a stronger, more intense scent from your diffuser, you can flip the sticks every so often if preferred.

Our 200ml Diffusers will last up to 12 months+ (Depending on the size of the area)

We have even known some of our diffusers to last over 18months!

There is also no need to flip our sticks as they are made from woven fibre which will not dry out (unlike timber sticks)
