+ All of our candles are made with care, in limited batches, in the USA. Maine, to be exact. 🫎😊

+ Great question! Let's break it down:

• WAX: We use a soy wax blend that's made here in the U.S. Our blend specifically uses soy, coconut and food-grade paraffin to provide the best scent throw.
• WICKS: We use flat braided cotton wicks with a paper core.
• FRAGRANCES: We use premium phthalate and paraben free fragrance oils in our candles. These oils are vegan and made from a combination of essential oils and synthetic oils.
• CONTAINERS: Our 7oz. cans are made from stainless steel and are fully recyclable or reusable.
• SHIPPING BOXES + PACKAGING: All of our boxes and paper cushioning can be recycled/reused. You can also recycle our notecards. When packing orders, we try to use the least amount of shipping materials possible. We take a no-frills approach – you'll only find what's needed to keep your items secure during transit. This reduces packaging buildup on our end and yours.

+ There are several reasons for this:

• SAFETY: We only use fragrance oils that are specifically formulated for candles and scented home goods. Sometimes this means there are synthetic ingredients used to stabilize the natural ingredients, which makes them safe to use.
• CREATIVITY: Natural oils have a very limited number of scent profiles. Synthetic fragrance oils allow for more possibilities and complex scent combinations. Basically, if you can imagine it, you can make it! This makes the creation process more fun and results in more unique product.
• SCENT THROW: Soy wax is notorious for being difficult when it comes to carrying fragrance. On top of that, natural oils alone have a really hard time binding with soy wax. This means if you make a candle using only essential oils, you may notice that it smells great when it's not lit, but once it's burning there might be little to no scent. We want you to have a candle that's both safe and fragrant – using synthetic oils makes this possible.
• SUSTAINABILITY: Did you know it takes about three pounds of lavender to make just 0.5oz. of lavender essential oil? Imagine what would be needed to make the hundreds of ounces used in candle making! Synthetic fragrance oils allow us to enjoy scents that we love (like lavender) but through a more controlled and sustainable manufacturing process.

+ We love this question! Ingrid spent a lot of time testing different vessels, but stainless steel ended up being her favorite. Here's why:

• SUSTAINABILITY: Our 7oz. cans are fully recyclable/reusable. If you choose to recycle your container, all you have to do is clean it out and add it to your regular recycling bin for cans. Additionally, we love that stainless steel is infinitely recyclable – making it the most recycled material on the planet. 
• DURABILITY: It's not fun to eagerly await a package only to receive a box filled with broken glass. Our metal containers are lightweight and durable, which give us more peace of mind that your order will be secure during transit and it'll arrive at your doorstep free of damage.
• LESS PACKAGING: Since metal containers are lighter and more durable than glass, we're able to use less packaging all-around to keep our candles secure in transit. 
• BUILT-IN SNUFFER: Each container comes with a lid that you can use to snuff out your candle. Snuffing is better (and safer) than blowing out a candle because it reduces smoke and prevents hot wax from accidentally going everywhere.

+ We know the fragrance you choose to bring into your home is deeply personal. Our candles are made to have a great scent throw that can easily fill up an average sized bedroom.

Our candles are made from a soy-blend wax, a vegan and paraben/phthalate free oil and go through rigorous testing for human safety. We work hard to ensure our candles adhere to high industry manufacturing standards. While we have not studied or tested the candles on animals, studies have shown that inhaling fragrances from candles that are safe for humans are also generally safe for animals. However, like humans, some animals may be more sensitive to fragrances than others. We understand that your animals are an important part of your family, so we suggest keeping the candles out of their reach so they cannot consume the waxes or oils or come into contact with the flame. If you have any specific questions related to animal safety regarding candles, please contact your veterinarian.

If you have a serious nut allergy and being in close contact with almonds or their oils could cause a reaction, we suggest you read the ingredient list prior to burning a candle or touching the wax. Generally, most of the oils we use do not contain the proteins that cause food allergies – including nut allergies. Additionally, fragrance names do not necessarily mean that the actual ingredient is used in creating the fragrance. We are unable to advise whether our almond-scented candles will cause a reaction for certain individuals. If you are concerned that the oils may cause an allergic reaction, we suggest that you select a candle without fragrances related to nuts – we have plenty of wonderful options!
