Getting to Know Us
What's actually in our candles
No vague "eco-friendly" sticker. Here's exactly what we use, what we don't, and why.
Ingredients
What's in the jar
Every candle is made with CandleScience SimplySoy™ Artisan Wax, a soy wax, not synthetic paraffin, paired with a lead-free ECO series wick (a cotton wick with a paper filament core). Our fragrance oils are chosen for clean burning, not just strong throw.
We're a young, growing business, so full fragrance oil sourcing details (certifications, phthalate status per scent) are still being finalized and will be published here as they're confirmed. We'd rather tell you honestly what we know than make a claim we can't back up.
Allergen note: our candles contain fragrance oil. If you experience any irritation, discontinue use.
Quick facts
- Wax: soy wax (SimplySoy™ Artisan Wax), no synthetic paraffin
- Wick: ECO series cotton/paper-core wick, lead-free
- Container: reusable jar, refill/return program in the works
- Made: small batches, by hand, in Katy, TX
Candle Safety
Burn it safely
- Never leave a burning candle unattended.
- Keep away from children, pets, drafts, and anything flammable.
- Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each burn.
- Stop burning once about 1/2 inch of wax remains.
- Always burn on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
Is it actually eco-friendly?
Let's be straight with you
Burning any candle, even a "natural" one, releases some particulate matter and CO2. No candle makes the environment better just by existing. So instead of a vague claim, here's specifically what we're doing about it:
Cleaner Wax & Wick
Natural wax over paraffin, lead-free cotton wicks: a cleaner burn, not a claim of zero impact.
A Real Jar Plan
Working toward a refill/return program so jars get reused instead of thrown out.
Where the Profit Goes
$1 from every candle goes to a real environmental cause. You pick which one, or we'll pick a random one for you.
What makes us different
Why Ascented, not another candle brand
You Pick the Cause
$1 from every candle gives back. You choose which environmental cause it supports, or we'll pick a random one for you.
