After years of research and development, Voluspa has launched a new wax blend now used for all Voluspa candles. This proprietary wax blend, first used in the Maison collection, is more than 50% natural coconut wax, and contains other naturals such as apricot wax. Voluspa is one of the first candle companies to use coconut wax commercially, and have been working for 2 years on perfecting its use for candles.
Coconut wax is made by first collecting coconuts and then cold pressing the oil out of the meat of the coconut. That coconut oil is then turned in to coconut wax through the process of hydrogenation which is the same process by which soy wax is made.
The Features of this new blend are:
- Extremely clean burning. Independent lab tests show that this new proprietary coconut based wax burns 90% leaner than a 100% soy wax candle of the same size and fragrance.
- Beautiful creamy white look and feel.
- Holds a high volume of fragrance.
- Works well with perfume fragrance. Doesn’t interfere with fragrance or turn rancid like soy wax.
- Ecologically Sound, Pesticide-free manufacturing.
Voluspa candles burn cleanly and easily and have always used gorgeous, silky wax. Now the wax is as contemporary and innovative as the fragrances they release. Go Voluspa!
More about new coconut wax
If you are enjoying new coconut wax, a few simple habits help you get the most from it.
- Trim the wick to about a quarter of an inch before every burn so the flame stays steady and clean.
- On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the container to help prevent tunneling.
- Keep the candle away from drafts, fans and anything flammable, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
- Stop burning when about half an inch of wax is left in the container, and let it cool fully before relighting.

A quick scent guide
Fragrance families help you shop. Floral, fruity, woody, fresh and gourmand scents each have a mood, and knowing which you enjoy makes choosing much easier.
Care matters. Store candles and fragrance oils away from heat and direct sun, keep lids on, and follow the maker’s instructions to keep a scent smelling its best.
Layering is a fun way to personalize a room. Pairing two scents that share a note, such as a citrus with a green leaf, can create something that feels like yours.
Seasons change what we want to smell. Many people reach for light, airy scents in spring and summer, and richer, warmer scents in fall and winter.
