CANDLE INGREDIENTS
What are your candles made out of?
We use an all natural soy wax, made from US grown soybeans.
Soy burns cooler and longer than paraffin, and as a renewable resource, it is superior for the environment. We believe that uncolored soy is not only safer to burn, but is also more beautiful in its natural color.
Our wicks are lead-free and are made of braided cotton.
Please note that our candles are made from all natural ingredients. Slight changes in color and small imperfections in the wax are perfectly normal, and will not affect the performance of your candle. We recommend burning your candles within one year for best performance.
Are your fragrances natural?
Our fragrances are a combination of essential oils and fragrance oils. All of our fragrances are phthalate-free and adhere to RIFM and IFRA standards for safety and purity.
What is the fragrance load?
Each candle boasts a 10% fragrance load.

DIFFUSER TIPS
How do I use a diffuser for the first time?
Place diffuser on a flat oil-safe surface. Unscrew the cap and then carefully remove the small transparent plastic stopper in the center of the diffuser. Screw the cap back onto the diffuser. Remove the diffuser sticks from the ribbon and thread them through the cap.
Diffuser Care
- Allow 48 to 72 hours to start enjoying the fragrance.
- Flip reeds periodically for best performance.
- Multiple diffusers may be required for extra large spaces.
- Fan out reeds for best air flow and performance.
- Try to center the diffuser in the room you're using it, or closest to where you spend the most time in the room.
- Replace or refill once 1/2in of liquid remains in the diffuser.
- Avoid placing the diffuser in places where it could get knocked over.
