A Tree Planted
In addition to our commitment to crafting sustainable candles, we go a step further by planting a tree and removing three plastic bottles from our oceans for every order placed in partnership with Sprout. This initiative not only helps offset carbon emissions but also contributes to reforestation efforts and the preservation of our planetās natural beauty. By choosing Ralphās Orchard vegan scented candles, you actively participate in creating a greener and more sustainable future.

We are dedicated to creating a more sustainable future. Our contributions impact the planting of mangrove trees and plastic waste collection. These reforestation and ocean clean up efforts will not only revive natural habitats but also improve coral reef health, support local livelihoods, and aid in the fight against climate change by extracting CO2 from the air.
Our collection of eco-friendly vegan candles embodies the perfect blend of luxury, sustainability, and ethical values. With our natural wax, cruelty-free ingredients, and captivating scents, these handmade candles provide a guilt-free indulgence for eco-conscious individuals. The use of vintage repurposed vessels and the commitment to planting trees further emphasize our dedication to zero-waste practices and environmental preservation. By choosing Ralphās OrchardĀ vegan scented candles, you not only transform your space into a serene sanctuary but also contribute to a more sustainable world.
More Than Trees
Eco Myths Busted
Not everything thatĀ sounds green truly is. Weāre cutting through the compostable clutter to help you make more informed choices.
ā»ļø Myth 1: āBiodegradableā always means better
Truth: Biodegradable plastics can take years to break down - and only under specific conditions. Without industrial composting, many end up in landfills or oceans anyway.
š± Myth 2: Soy candles are always eco-friendly
Truth: While soy wax is plant-based, itās often industrially farmed, genetically modified, and heavily processed. Look for responsibly sourced soy or alternatives like repurposed wax blends.
š Myth 3: Online shopping is worse for the planet
Truth: Not always. Local delivery can be more efficient than individual car trips to shops - especially when brands use minimal packaging and carbon-offset shipping.
š Myth 4: āSustainableā means perfect
Truth: Sustainability is a spectrum. The most eco-conscious brands arenāt perfect - theyāre transparent, evolving, and thoughtful in every choice. Itās about progress, not perfection.
