Our Candles
-
Ingredients
Sustainable Soy Wax Candles
Our candles are crafted with all-natural soy wax, derived from soybeans grown right here in the U.S. Soy wax is celebrated for its sustainability and renewabilityโmaking it an excellent choice for eco-conscious consumers. Not only does it provide a cleaner and longer burn, but it is also biodegradable and less harmful to the environment compared to traditional waxes. While soy wax may present challenges in scent retention, its environmental benefits and natural composition make it a superior choice for those seeking a greener lifestyle and a more natural product in their homes.

The Vessel
Elegant Frosted Glass Vessels
Our candles are housed in exquisite frosted white glass vessels topped with a wooden lid, blending seamlessly with any home decor. Each vessel is crafted from food-grade, heat-resistant glass that is shatterproof and explosion-proof, ensuring both safety and durability. The lead-free, non-toxic material surpasses the safety of plastic containers, making it a healthier choice for your home environment. Featuring an airtight rubber seal under the wood lid, our jars maintain high confidentiality to prolong the preservation of contents, whether used for candle making or storage. After your candle has fully burned, simply clean the jar and repurpose it to store anything you likeโfrom kitchen essentials to small household items. These versatile jars are dishwasher and microwave safe (excluding the lid) and can also be stored in the refrigerator, adding functionality and style to your sustainable living practices.

The Wick
Premium Natural Candle Wicks
Our candles are fitted with high-quality wicks made from a blend of cotton and paper, designed to burn more completely and consistently than traditional cotton wicks. These wicks offer a stable flame without the issues commonly associated with wooden wicks, such as bending or breaking. Our commitment to health and safety means our wicks produce no black smoke or unusual odors. Free from chemicals, heavy metals, and zincโsubstances often found in other wicksโour natural wicks ensure a safer and healthier experience, making each candle burning session a pure delight.

Our Wax Melts

Ingredients
The same wax as our candles
Our candles are crafted with all-natural soy wax, derived from soybeans grown right here in the U.S. Soy wax is celebrated for its sustainability and renewabilityโmaking it an excellent choice for eco-conscious consumers. Not only does it provide a cleaner and longer burn, but it is also biodegradable and less harmful to the environment compared to traditional waxes. While soy wax may present challenges in scent retention, its environmental benefits and natural composition make it a superior choice for those seeking a greener lifestyle and a more natural product in their homes.

Packaging
While our current wax melt packaging utilizes PET material, we are aware it's not the ideal solution and are actively seeking more sustainable alternatives. The existing PET containers are high-quality, eco-friendly, and designed to withstand high temperatures up to 150 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring they do not react with the wax or compromise the quality of the melts. I pour wax into these containers at 130 Fahrenheit or below. These containers are also fully recyclable, as affirmed by the manufacturer. We are committed to improving our environmental impact and are in the process of developing a more sustainable and efficient packaging solution to better serve our customers and the planet.

Cruelty-Free and Vegan

Vegan Ingredients
All of the materials used in our products, from the soy wax in candles to the essential oils in our diffusers, are derived from plant-based sources. We do not use any animal-derived ingredients, such as beeswax or lanolin, which are commonly found in various home fragrance products.
The fragrances we use are synthetic or plant-derived, ensuring they are vegan and do not contain any animal byproducts.
-
Practices
We do not test any of our products on animals, nor do we use any ingredients that have been tested on animals. This commitment extends to all our product lines, including candles, wax melts, room sprays, and diffusers.
We choose suppliers who also adhere to cruelty-free standards, you ensure that every component, from waxes to fragrances, aligns with ethical treatment of animals.
-
Packaging and Protection:
We are conscious about the packaging materials being eco-friendly and are in the process of making them fully sustainable and vegan. This includes avoiding glues or dyes that might contain animal products.
Our commitment to sustainability and using materials like glass, wood, and soon, non-PET plastic alternatives.
Shipping Materials
We strive to reuse packing materials and choose new packing materials that are planet-conscious, minimizing environmental impact. You may see bubble wrap around the candles, but those were reused. You may see foam wrapping, but those were also shipped with the room sprays and we are reusing.
Many of the boxes we use are reused shipping boxes. We are working on shipping tape that is more sustainable.
