Wax Melts Mallow & Moo

About our products

  • We use a premium coconut and soy wax blend in all our candles. Coconut and soy burn more slowly and more evenly than paraffin, hold fragrance oil well, and produce less soot. All our candles are 200g.

  • Yes. All Mallow & Moo products are 100% vegan and cruelty free. Our reed diffusers use a plant-based base rather than a petroleum-derived one.

  • Every Mallow & Moo candle is hand-poured in small batches in the North West of England.

  • [[CONFIRM: approximately XX hours for a 200g candle, burned in sessions of up to four hours]]

  • A gourmand fragrance is one built around edible or dessert-like notes - vanilla, cocoa, caramel, biscuit, cream, spice. Our gourmands are blended with botanicals and woods so they stay sophisticated rather than sweet: Milkmaids Biscotti pairs spiced biscuit with buttermilk, and Embered Mallow sits smoked vanilla against resinous guaiac wood.

  • The Mallow Edit is our daytime collection, in frosted white glass: fresh, botanical and lightly sweet. The Moo Edit is our evening collection, in matt black glass: deeper, warmer and more indulgent. Same quality, different mood - many customers own one of each.

  • [[CONFIRM with client — do not answer this until you have written confirmation from the fragrance supplier. If unconfirmed, remove the question entirely rather than answering vaguely.]]

  • [[CONFIRM: approximately XX weeks for a 100ml diffuser, turning the reeds every seven to ten days]]

  • Yes. All seven signature fragrances are available as 100g wax melt snap bars from £8, which is the easiest way to find the scent you love before buying the jar.

Candle care

  • Tunnelling happens when the first burn is cut short. On the first use, let the wax melt all the way to the edge of the glass - usually two to three hours — so the candle establishes a full melt pool. Once a candle has tunnelled it will keep to that smaller circle.

  • Before every burn, to around 5mm. An untrimmed wick gives a larger, unstable flame, more soot and an uneven melt.

  • No more than four hours at a time. Longer burns overheat the glass and dull the fragrance. Let the candle cool completely before relighting.

  • Stop when roughly 10mm of wax remains in the base of the jar.
