  • Benefits of soy wax

    Soy wax is a natural, plant-based alternative to traditional candle waxes like paraffin or palm. Made from soybeans, it’s biodegradable, renewable, and a cleaner-burning option for your space. We pair this natural wax with phthalate-free fragrances, essential oils, and cotton wicks to ensure every candle supports both well-being and the rituals you hold close.


    Here’s why we love it:
    Cleaner burn    : Unlike paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum, soy wax burns without releasing toxins, excessive soot, or carcinogens into the air—making it cleaner for you and your home.
    Longer-lasting: Soy wax burns more slowly and evenly, giving you more hours of candlelight and fragrance.
    Better scent throw: It holds and disperses fragrance beautifully, offering a more balanced, true-to-scent experience.
    Easy to clean: Soy wax is water-soluble, so any spills or residue are easy to clean up with soap and warm water.
    Eco-conscious: Our soy wax is 100% North American grown, GMO-free, and never tested on animals.

  • Burning your candle

    Get the most from your candle: Allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the jar with each burn—this helps prevent tunnelling and ensures an even melt every time.

    For a safe and lasting glow: Enjoy your candle for no more than 3–4 hours at a time, and trim the wick to 6mm (¼”) before each new burn.

    Extinguish your candle: When about 12mm (½”) of wax remains. This helps protect the jar and the surface beneath from potential heat damage.

    Burn mindfully: Never leave your candle unattended, and keep it out of reach of curious children or pets, and anything flammable.
