The Burning Butterfly sells two things: hand-poured plant-based candles made by Jo using rapeseed and coconut wax, and hand-sourced vintage homeware chosen by Jo from markets and fairs across the UK. Both ranges share the same values - quality, character and a slower, more intentional approach to the home.

All Burning Butterfly candles are hand-poured by Jo in small batches in the UK. Each candle is made using a plant-based rapeseed and coconut wax blend, with cruelty-free fragrance oils and clean-burning cotton wicks. Small batch production means every candle is made with care and attention to detail.

Yes. Packaging includes compostable honeycomb wrap paper, fully recyclable candle gift boxes, and satin ribbon made from plastic bottles saved from landfill. Void fill is natural shredded paper that is PEFC certified, 100% recycled and home compostable. Shipping boxes are made from recycled and recyclable materials with paper packaging tape rather than plastic.
