      I love these candles for their intense color and how opaque they are, they look so beautiful

      The shop is called Flame Marked Candles and is from Germany. Their candles are all vegan and handmade. They offer them made from soy wax and rape wax (worst english plant name ever 😅) the latter burning hotter than soy (I personally prefer soy)

        Thank you!

        Good toys are hard to come by, and rapeseed wax sounds interesting, could be a lot more sustainable than soy.

          That’s an interesting thought on the environmental impact of these candles 🤔

          But sadly, the rapeseed candles are too hot for me to use in larger quantities, soy is already hitting my limit on heat 😅

              Yes that too makes a difference. The seller at least claims that soy burns at 56-60°C and rapeseed at 66-71°C. That was also what it felt like when using it, with rapeseed being a bit too hot for me to handle at any height
