Plant-based Coconut Wax
Our Wax
Hemlock Park candles are made with a plant-based coconut apricot wax blend, a high-performance base made for fragrance retention, burn consistency, and composition derived from renewable crops.
Coconut wax holds fragrance at higher concentrations than most conventional wax bases, which means more of the scent reaches the room and sustains more evenly through the life of the candle. Apricot wax contributes a smooth, creamy texture and improves adhesion to the vessel wall, designed for an even burn from the first light to the last. The blend is skin-safe, vegan, and cruelty-free.
Each candle is hand-poured in small batches in the Sierra, set in vessels chosen for their weight and presence. Wicks are selected for compatibility with the blend, FSC-certified crackling wood for a warm, sensory burn, and classic cotton for a quieter, more meditative presence. Fragrance is crafted with essential oils and botanical ingredients.
