Reduce Carbon Foot Print
Choose Natural Materials: Look for candles made from beeswax, soy wax, coconut wax, apricot wax or vegetable-based waxes. These materials are biodegradable and do not contain harmful chemicals. Choosing the right blend of waxes that did not cause damage to the environment.
Avoid Paraffin Candles: Paraffin wax is derived from petroleum, a non-renewable resource. Petroleum is by product that is often the cheapest option. When burned it releases harmful pollutants and carbon emissions. Avoiding paraffin candles can considerably reduce your carbon footprint.
Non-Toxic Fragrance: Many candles contain fragrances that can be concocted from any of the fragrance industry’s and chemical ingredients that are not always revealed to the consumer. These fragrances can release harmful chemicals when burned, but the average consumer wouldn’t know how to decipher the convoluted research behind each to be able to make an informed decision. We advise to look for candles scented with essential oils or clean fragrances that are mindfully sourced like ours.
Use Reusable or Recyclable Candle Holders: Instead of buying disposable reused or recycled.
Trim the Wick: Trimming the wick of your candle to 1/4 inches can help reduce soot and smoke and extend the life of your candle. This also keeps your candles clean from embers of the wicks
