SUSTAINABILITY
ALL OF OUR PRODUCTS ARE FREE FROM THE FOLLOWING:
- Phthalates

- Sulfates
- Petroleum
While not certified, we abide by all IFRA (International Fragrance Association) standards.
SUSTAINABILITY WITHIN MANUFACTURING
Wax
We use 100% soy wax. The soy wax we use is produced from local-grown soybeans (a renewable resource). We do not use paraffin wax – paraffin wax is derived from petroleum, originally crude oil, which is an unsustainable and non-renewable resource. Studies have also shown that paraffin wax candles emit toxic fumes when burning, while soy wax is non-toxic.
Fragrance Oils
We collaborate with leading candle studios in Thailand to create our unique scents. Our fragrance oils are derived from high quality natural high-quality ingredients. We source only phthalate-free fragrance oils, which means they are non-toxic to burn. Research has shown that phthalates may be harmful to one’s health and may cause birth defects.
Wicks
We use only cotton core wicks primed with vegetable oil, as all the components are sustainable – cotton and vegetable oil. Other wicks on the market include metal core wicks which use tin, aluminum, or lead – non-renewable resources. There are also wicks available that are primed with petroleum, which we do not use for the reasons listed above about paraffin wax.
Vessels + Boxes
We work with tin and ceramic vessels. All vessels can be reused and repurposed! Pencil holder, planter, bathroom organizer, etc.
All boxes are made of paper and can be recycled.
SUSTAINABILITY WITHIN SHIPPING
We do not use any plastic when shipping our products – only cardboard boxes packed with kraft paper and cellulose wadding as dunnage. All of these materials are recyclable and biodegradable.
If you ever find plastic within your shipment (bubble wrap, air pillows, etc.), these have been reused from shipments we received in our studio from another supplier. We would prefer to reuse it than to throw it away!
