Most brands use toxic ingredients, but we don't. That's why we care about transparency. Below is a short list of our ingredients.

1. Premium coconut-apricot wax blend that burns clean, slow, and steady. It’s non-toxic, eco-friendly, and safe for families and pets.

2. Our fragrances are crafted from a blend of essential oils and high-performance synthetic oils—always phthalate-free—to deliver rich, immersive scents without the toxins.

3. Lead-free cotton wicks. Burn your candle without worry of toxicity.

Our coconut-apricot wax burns cleaner than soy, producing minimal soot and smoke for better indoor air quality. It holds fragrance more effectively, delivering rich, consistent scent throughout your space.

Key benefits:
- Burns slower and lasts longer due to lower melting point
- Biodegradable and sourced from renewable oils supporting sustainable agriculture
- Non-GMO and gentle on sensitive individuals, unlike soy wax

We choose this wax to deliver luxury, health, sustainability, and quality in every candle.

Yes, but not pure essential oils.

Pure EOs can release harmful compounds when heated, break down in flame, increase fire risk, and don't deliver strong scent throw.

Instead, we use premium fragrance oils formulated specifically for candles—a blend of real essential oils with synthetic and organic compounds that burn clean, safe, and smell incredible.

It depends on the candle—and your nose.

Some of our scents are bold, and others are more subtle and meant to create a warm, comforting backdrop.

Here’s how to get the cleanest, longest burn from day one:

• Trim the wick to ⅛–¼ inch before lighting
• Burn in a well-ventilated space, away from drafts
• Watch for a steady, even flame—no tall flames or heavy flickering
  

Basic Candle Care

A little maintenance goes a long way. Follow these tips to protect your home and your candle:

• Burn long enough to melt the entire top layer (prevents tunneling)
• Don’t burn more than 4 hours at a time
• Keep wicks trimmed and wax free of debris
• Never burn to the very bottom—stop with ½ inch of wax left
• Place candles 3+ inches apart if burning multiples
  Always burn on a heat-safe surface
• If you see a “mushroom” on the wick, trim it

Once your candle is empty:

• Pop it in the freezer to solidify wax and remove leftover solids (great for wax warmers)
• Reuse the jar or tin! They make great organizers, planters, and more
• Or recycle it (check local guidelines)
