At DEFREI, sustainability isn't an afterthought, it's woven into every candle we make. From the wax we choose to the vessels we design, every decision is guided by our responsibility to people and the planet.

🌿 PLANT-BASED WAX

Every DEFREI candle is made with a 100% plant-based blend of rapeseed and coconut wax. Unlike paraffin, a petroleum by-product, our wax is renewable, biodegradable, and burns cleaner, releasing no harmful toxins into your home.

♻️ RECYCLABLE PACKAGING & VESSELS

Our signature concrete vessels are designed to be reused and repurposed long after the last burn. All outer packaging is fully recyclable, and we use minimal plastic across our entire range.

🐾 100% VEGAN

No beeswax. No animal-derived ingredients. Ever. DEFREI candles are fully vegan, kind to animals and kind to the planet.

📍 HAND-POURED IN EAST LONDON

Every candle is hand-poured in small batches in our East London studio. Local production means a smaller carbon footprint, greater quality control, and a genuine connection to the craft behind every product.

🌱 NATURAL FRAGRANCES

We use carefully selected high quality fragrance blends free from harmful chemicals, ensuring a clean, safe burn in your home.

OUR PROMISE

We're committed to continuously improving our sustainability practices, from sourcing to shipping. When you choose DEFREI, you're choosing a candle brand that takes its responsibility seriously.
