The Cottage on Martha's Vineyard Candle

Our Wax

Our soy wax is free from gluten, toxins, paraffin, parabens, and phthalates, and is derived from renewable sources. Made from soybeans grown in the American Midwest, it is non-toxic, renewable, and produced mindfully.

Our Wicks

We exclusively use cotton and paper wicks, crafted from biodegradable, plant-based fibers that ensure a consistent burn with minimal black smoke. Our wicks are also zinc-free.

Our Fragrances

All of our fragrances are vegan and cruelty-free, containing no carcinogens, mutagens, reproductive toxins, organ toxins, or acute toxins. Most fragrances comply with California Proposition 65 standards. They are free from parabens and phthalates and meet the stringent requirements set by IFRA and RIFM.

Every single fragrance oil we offer is phthalate free and made without ingredients found on California’s Proposition 65 list.

But fragrances with the Clean Scents™ designation go one step further by also avoiding these 5 main hazard groups.

✖ Carcinogens: These are materials known or thought to cause cancer. 

✖ Mutagens: Materials that change the DNA of a cell, harming the cell and causing diseases like cancer. 

✖ Reproductive toxins: Toxins that adversely affect reproductive organs and increase the risk of birth defects. 

✖ Organ toxins: These are toxins that can cause adverse effects or disease within specific bodily organs. 

✖ Acute toxins: Toxins that can cause adverse effects from a single exposure. Generally, this would be accidental exposure like spillage or ingestion. 

Our Vessels

We take pride in sourcing only the highest-quality glass containers that are simple, timeless, and easy to repurpose around your home. 

Candle Care Guide

• Trim the Wick: Keep your wick trimmed to 1/4 inch before each burn to promote an even burn, steady flame, and limit sooting/mushrooming of the wick.
• Let the Wax Pool: Allow the top layer of wax to melt and pool to the edges to prevent tunneling—this ensures the maximum fragrance release.
• Burn Wisely: Burn your candle for no more than 4 hours at a time to maintain the candle’s longevity and safety.
• Avoid Draughts: Place your candle in a location free from draughts to avoid uneven burning and unnecessary dripping.
• Keep It Clean: Ensure the wax pool is free of wick trimmings, matches, or any combustible material.
• Stay Cool: Always burn your candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from heat sources.
• Snuff Out the Flame: Use a candle snuffer to safely extinguish the candle without splattering hot wax.
• Stay Safe: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
• Reuse the Vessel: Once your candle has burned down, clean out the vessel to reuse or repurpose it.
