1. Lilin+Co

Lilin+Co is an artisanal scented candle company established in 2016. They produce 100 per cent premium soy wax candles infused with bespoke scents formulated with fragrance oils, essential oils and natural extracts made to IFRA standards and are phthalate free. Our favourite? The Black Tea & Lychee scent.

The candles are less toxic than the paraffin-made ones, have a longer burning life, and they are biodegradable. They also make for a nice decorative item at home.
