Sustainability
Luxury should feel considered. These are the choices we make and the ones we are still working on.
Lilicandles is a small studio — twelve to twenty batches a month, hand-poured in Belgrade. Small scale lets us make slower choices: a wax blend we control, vessels that outlive the candle, and packaging that travels well without overdoing it.
Our wax is a coconut-soy blend, free from paraffin and phthalates. Coconut burns cleaner; soy carries fragrance evenly; together they hold a controlled flame. The cotton wicks are lead-free and braided to the wax for steady throw.
Vessels are mouth-blown glass, finished and washed at the studio. When a candle is finished, the vessel is meant to keep going — for matches, dried flowers, brushes, or just as an object in a room. Send us a photo of yours in its second life and we will send the next candle with a handwritten note.
Shipping is consolidated. Orders within Serbia leave the studio twice a week; international orders go out on Wednesdays. We use recyclable kraft outers, plant-based insulation, and we never include throwaway extras.
What we are still working on: a refill program (planned for late 2026), a fully carbon-accounted shipping report, and a partnership with a local glass studio for vessel takeback. We will publish progress here as it happens.
