Craft Your Own Candle

Nuestras velas están hechas con una base de mezcla dividida de coco + cera de soja. Utilizamos una mecha trenzada plana que posee finas fibras de papel entrelazadas. Los resultados de este diseño de mecha son una combustión más limpia, un rizado controlado y una llama más caliente y eficiente.

Mezclamos nuestra cera de coco y soja con aceite de coco y la infundimos exclusivamente con aceites esenciales. No se utilizan sintéticos en nuestros productos.

Cada vela se combina con una caja de cerillas y una tarjeta de cuidado de las velas para facilitar su consulta.

Muestre un poco más de amor y prolongue la vida útil de su vela siguiendo nuestras pautas de cuidado de velas.

CÓMO AMAR TU VELA

RECORTAR LA MECHA

Mantenga la mecha recortada a 1/4” en todo momento; recórtela antes de usarla para una mejor práctica.

DEJA QUE LA CERA SE PISCINE

Cada vez que enciendas la vela, deja que se queme hasta que la cera se derrita en toda la superficie; esto evitará la formación de túneles.

MIRA LA HORA

Queme su vela por hasta un máximo de cuatro horas seguidas

QUEMALO DE FORMA SEGURA

Siempre queme su vela sobre una superficie estable y resistente al calor, evite corrientes de aire, manténgala alejada de los niños y las mascotas, y nunca deje su vela desatendida.

ALMACENAMIENTO

Mantenga sus velas en un lugar fresco y seco y evite los rayos del sol.

SABER CUANDO DECIR ADIÓS

Cuando solo quede 1/2” de cera en el frasco de tu vela, es hora de decir adiós.

All of our products are free from the following:

• Phthalates
• Parabens
• Sulfates
• Petroleum
• Animal-derived ingredients

Sustainability within Manufacturing

Wax

We use 100% soy wax. The soy wax we use is produced from American-grown soybeans (a renewable resource). We do not use paraffin wax - paraffin wax is derived from petroleum, originally crude oil, which is an unsustainable and non-renewable resource. Studies have also shown that paraffin wax candles emit toxic fumes when burning, while soy wax is non-toxic. 

Fragrance Oils

Our fragrance oils are derived from both natural and high quality synthetic ingredients. We source only phthalate-free fragrance oils, which means they are non-toxic to burn. Research has shown that phthalates may be harmful to one's health and may cause birth defects. 

While our candles incorporate synthetic fragrance blends, they remain non-toxic. The reality is that working with certain natural fragrances and essential oils can be an unsustainable practice, due to the large quantity of material needed to produce a small amount of fragrance. For example, it takes about 8,000 roses to make 5 milliliters of rose essential oil. 

Wicks

We use only cotton core wicks primed with vegetable oil, as all the components are renewable - cotton and vegetable oil. Other wicks on the market include metal core wicks which use tin, aluminum, or lead - non-renewable resources. Lead core wicks were banned in the United States in 2003. There are also wicks available that are primed with petroleum, which we do not use for the reasons listed above.

Vessels

We work with glass, tin, and ceramic vessels. All vessels can be reused and repurposed! Pencil holder, planter, bathroom organizer, etc. The glass vessels can be recycled onced cleaned.

Sustainability within Shipping

We do not use any plastic when shipping our products - only cardboard boxes packed with kraft paper. All of these materials are recyclable and biodegradable. 

If you ever find plastic within your shipment (bubble wrap, air pillows, etc.), these have been reused from shipments we received in our studio from another supplier. We would prefer to reuse it than to throw it away!
