🌴"Why Coconut?"
Happy National Coconut Day! 🥥
A lot of people ask us why we choose to make our melts using coconut wax instead of the industry-standard soy. Today, we want to share a story close to our hearts that explains exactly why.
Last year, my daughter traveled to the ancient rainforests of Borneo with Camps International. Standing beneath the canopy, she saw firsthand the fragile beauty of a habitat under threat. She witnessed how the global push for agricultural land—most notably for palm oil, but increasingly for intensive, industrial monoculture crops like soy—clears away vital ecosystems.
When rainforests disappear, beautiful species like the orangutans, pygmy elephants, and rhinos lose their homes.That trip changed how we look at everything, including our ingredients. It’s exactly why we use EcoCoco pillar wax.
Here is why our coconut wax is a step ahead for the planet and your home:
Guaranteed Palm & Soy Free: Many commercial waxes are blended with palm oil to harden them up. EcoCoco contains absolutely no palm, no soy, and no paraffin. It is 100% natural, biodegradable, and vegan-friendly.
No Deforestation Ties: Coconuts are harvested from long-living perennial trees. Unlike soy, which requires clearing vast fields of land every single year to plant row crops, coconuts grow on existing trees without requiring devastating land conversion.
No GMOs: A huge portion of the global soy crop is genetically modified. Our coconut wax is completely GMO-free.
A Cleaner, Better Burn: Beyond the eco-credentials, coconut wax naturally throws fragrance beautifully, has a stunning creamy white aesthetic, and leaves practically zero soot in your home compared to soy.
When you buy our wax melts, you aren't just getting a beautifully scented home—you are supporting a conscious choice to leave the world's most endangered rainforests exactly as they should be. 🌿✨
