WE TAKE PRIDE IN OUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY, AS OUR WICKS ARE RESPONSIBLY SOURCED AND MANUFACTURED RIGHT HERE IN THE USA.

​
NATURAL WAX BLEND:
OUR CANDLES AND WAX MELTS ARE CRAFTED USING A SPECIAL BLEND OF NATURAL WAXES, INCLUDING COCONUT, APRICOT, AND OUR OWN BEESWAX. WE CONSCIOUSLY AVOID USING PARAFFIN, A BYPRODUCT OF FOSSIL FUEL PRODUCTION, AS IT TENDS TO EMIT MORE TOXIC FUMES AND SOOT COMPARED TO ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY VEGETABLE WAXES LIKE COCONUT AND SOY.
WE HAVE FOUND THAT COCONUT WAX OFFERS A MORE SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVE TO SOY WAX. COCONUT WAX IS SUSTAINABLY SOURCED THROUGH HAND HARVESTING, WITHOUT THE NEED FOR PESTICIDES OR FERTILIZERS. IT BURNS AT A COOLER TEMPERATURE, RESULTING IN LONGER-LASTING CANDLES. HOWEVER, PLEASE NOTE THAT COCONUT WAX HAS A LOWER MELTING POINT AND IS SOFTER, SO IT’S IMPORTANT TO AVOID STORING OUR CANDLES AND MELTS IN HOT ENVIRONMENTS SUCH AS THE BACK OF A CAR OR A GARAGE DURING SUMMER.
WHILE OUR PRODUCTS ARE NOT VEGAN DUE TO THE INCLUSION OF BEESWAX, WE TAKE GREAT CARE IN OUR BEESWAX SOURCING PROCESS. WE DO NOT HARVEST BEESWAX FROM HONEYCOMB; INSTEAD, WE UTILIZE THE WAX CAPS REMOVED DURING HONEY HARVESTING AND ANY EXCESS WAX FROM OUTSIDE THE FRAMES. THIS ENSURES THAT THE BEES’ ENERGY-INTENSIVE WAX PRODUCTION IS NOT COMPROMISED. WE THOROUGHLY CLEAN AND FILTER THE WAX TO CREATE A HIGH-QUALITY INGREDIENT FOR OUR CANDLES.
