Is Paddywax vegan?
Most candles are plant-based (soy wax) and likely vegan, but no official vegan certification or full ingredient transparency is provided.
Vegan means no animal-derived ingredients — beeswax, lanolin, carmine, collagen, silk or milk proteins — anywhere in the formula. It is a separate claim from cruelty-free, and a brand can be one without the other.
