Little Tulip

Little Tulip is a small North London based company founded in 2015 by Lette Vaessen.

After an introductory workshop into candle making Lette slowly started making candles for family and friends. After several friends had praised her on her amazing smelling candles she decided to take the next step; start a candle company. 

 

The soy candles that Little Tulip produces are of very high quality. Every candle is hand-poured, hand-labeled, and hand-wrapped in small, closely monitored batches, allowing her to test the products regularly to guarantee perfection.  

 

Soy candles are made from soybeans, a natural, renewable source grown in many regions by local farmers. Paraffin candles are made from petroleum, which is a nonrenewable source that contains carcinogenic substances. These substances may be released into the air while burning.

 

Aditionally soy candles typically last longer than a paraffin candle of the same size.. The reason behind the longevity of soy candles is the slower burning time and cooler burning temperature of the soybean-based wax. You may pay more for a soy candle initially, but the longer-lasting burn means you won't have to buy new candles as often. Soy wax is also biodegradable, making it an investment that benefits the environment.
