# Sustainably Sourced Candle Collections These Modern Candles are Free of Soy and Wax Ingredients By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-11-21 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candle-collection References: [packagingoftheworld](http://www.packagingoftheworld.com/2016/11/lux-et-terra-candles.html) & [luxetterra](http://www.luxetterra.com/) This [artisan candle collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sophisticated-candle-collection) works to ensure that it is filling a gap in the market that requires scent-related products to be more natural and less harmful to the environment. The 'Lux et Terra' brand started as a project by a husband and wife duo that wanted to create a collection of candles that are safe, clean-burning and made with sustainably grown and harvested ingredients. The resulting candles do just that and are made from beeswax and scented with natural ingredients like coconut, honey and various florals. The packaging of the candle collection is minimal, with the products being placed inside [glass jars with simple, gilded labels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/california-incline). This candle collection's avoidance of soy and paraffin in its ingredients works to create a range that is sophisticated, sustainable and yet still functional. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sustainable Candle Collections:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop eco-friendly alternatives to traditional candles by using sustainably sourced ingredients. - **Clean-burning Candles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create candles that do not emit harmful toxins when burned, offering a healthier choice for consumers. - **Minimal Packaging:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design packaging that is minimalistic and eco-friendly, reducing waste and appealing to environmentally conscious consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Artisanal Candle Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate sustainably sourced ingredients and clean-burning techniques into artisanal candle production. - **Home Fragrance Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop eco-friendly and clean-burning alternatives to traditional home fragrance products like scented candles. - **Sustainable Living Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Cater to the growing demand for sustainable living products by offering eco-friendly candles with minimal packaging. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Functional Artisanal Candle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artisanal-candle-collection.md) - [Self-Leveling Coconut Wax Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adlan-fragrances.md) - [Travel-Inspired Modern Candle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jupiter-smells.md) - [Plant-Based Candle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-candle-collections.md) - [Curvaceous Handmade Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lesse.md) - [Decorated Candle Tins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-candle-tin.md) - [Luxury Non-Toxic Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kendi-lux.md) - [Better-For-You Soy Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonday.md) - [Beeswax Sculptural Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greentree.md)
