With soy wax and pure essential oils, we are choosing ingredients that are natural and vegan, meaning they're chemical-free and safe for all to enjoy, including those who have allergic reactions to synthetic fragrances. Read more about why we use soy wax for candle making.

Some essential oils should be avoided when pregnant and in the case of certain illnesses, so always check before using.
