In 2020, I began making my own candles was to enjoy great scents without filling my home with potential toxins like lead, dyes, phthalates, or parabens that are found in most candles. My hobby quickly turned into a small business. I love creating unique and beautiful candles, diffusers, and sachets for those who enjoy a great smelling space but don't want acrid, artificial-smelling, or dangerously toxic products.
I purchase the best available wax (see details below!) and source the highest quality fragrance oils infused with essential oils, combining unique and complex layers of fragrance notes so that you can feel good about enjoying a wonderful-smelling home! I utilize eco-friendly packaging options (recycled boxes, kraft bags, biodegradable wrappers, etc.) to help treat our planet Earth with a little extra love.
Aren't soy wax candles the best?

My research revealed that a "soy candle" can contain up to 49% paraffin (a low-cost but toxic common wax). In other words, if a candle is made of at least 50% soy, it may be diluted with other inexpensive substitutes. In addition, many soy candles have a weak "hot throw", meaning they may smell great and put out some scent at room temperature, but when burning, their smell does not spread through your room with much noticeable scent.
Luxury Coco-Apricot Wax:
My candles are more expensive than mass-produced candles, simply because I am choosing some of the most costly yet safest wax options available. I use a natural luxury wax blend made of coconut and apricot wax, with a touch of soy. A mixed blend such as this has better performance with a slower, cleaner burn, is plant-based and a renewable resource, so you can feel better about enjoying these in your home or other spaces. Some of the benefits of this higher-quality wax include:
- Luxurious Appearance & Feel: The wax has a smooth, creamy texture and a vibrant white, buttery appearance that looks elegant in candles.
-
Excellent Fragrance Performance: Coconut-apricot wax is known for its superior hot and cold fragrance throw, meaning it effectively fills a room with scent.
-
Clean & Slow Burn: The wax burns cleanly, emitting less soot than other waxes, and burns slowly at a lower temperature, which increases the lifespan of the candle.
-
Sustainability & Eco-Friendliness: As a plant-based, renewable, and biodegradable wax, it's a more sustainable choice for eco-conscious consumers.
-
Vegan & Cruelty-Free: The wax is entirely plant-based, making it a top choice for those prioritizing ethical products.
-
Non-Toxic Flame: It produces a non-toxic flame, releasing fewer harmful chemicals into the air.
