ABOUT OUR CREATIONS

Derived from the soybean, soy wax is a hydrogenated vegetable oil that turns to a solid at room temperature. Soy wax contains nothing artificial, which makes it a better alternative to old-fashioned paraffin wax, which is made from petroleum oil and produces harmful by-products when burned or melted.

Unlike paraffin wax, which gives off black soot when burned, soy wax burns cleaner. Since paraffin wax is petroleum-based, burning it produces black soot that can potentially stain curtains, walls, and carpets inside the home. As a vegetable-based wax, soy wax does not give off any harmful by-products that might cause damage. 

Are your fragrances phthalate free? What is a phthalate??

All our fragrances are phthalate free. Phthalates are used to dissolve raw materials in apothecary goods, medicine, and fragrances. Recently there has been concern linking high levels of phthalates to health issues, especially in children. While there are no regulations against phthalate use in candles, we decided not to work with fragrances with phthalates in them. The levels of phthalates typically found in a candle are not harmful to a consumer or manufacturer, but we decided that simpler is always better.

Are your products vegan? Do you or your suppliers test on animals?

Yes! The products that you buy from our studio today are 100% derived from American grown soybeans. To fragrance our products, we use a blend of the purest essential oils and phthalate-free perfume oils. Our creations are preservative and petroleum-free and you guessed it...VEGAN. We are happy to report that neither we nor our suppliers engage in animal testing.

Do you use essential oils in your products?

We use fragrance oils that are blended with various essential oils. While we love essential oils, we think that fragrance oils are better for use in our products, as the scent throw is stronger. Many essential oils tend to evaporate when they are burned because the flash point is so low.

How often are new scents/products released?

We are constantly releasing new scents. We aim to release new scents seasonally. Follow us on social media and sign up for our newsletter on the homepage for updates about upcoming products and services.
